New Stamp Storage System

I wanted to show you all a quick video
on how I store my stamp sets.

It's also an update on my cartridge
storage system.  Some have requested a
smaller system since they only have
20 or so to get them by while
they build their collection.
It was mentioned in the original
cartridge storage video but some said
they would like a quick repeat...

Leave me a comment and let me
know what you think:)

Enjoy!



Thank you for Watching:)

Sticky Clean Up!!

I wanted to post this video
so you can see how easy it can be to clean
off that yucky sticky stuff
left over from price tags or
whatever other stickers you might
need to remove:)

Enjoy!




I hope you all got a good tip out of this.  It really is Amazing!!
Please let me know if you try this and how you like it.

Thank You Gifts Blog Hop!

Welcome to the "Thank You Gifts" Blog Hop
Hosted by the Lovely
Joy at http://www.joyslife.com/ and
Ruthie at http://www.septemberninth.blogspot.com/ :)


If you hopped to my blog from
are in the right place. If you just happened to stop
by and landed on this Awesome hop, I suggest you hop over to
Joy at http://www.joyslife.com/ and start from the beginning.
You won't want to miss anyone along the way.

For this Blog Hop, Joy thought it would
be great for everyone to come up
with a creative, inexpensive, and easy
holiday gift for a teacher, mail carrier,
bank teller, paper boy, etc...

I decided to create the packaging for the
inexpensive, easy holiday gift...You can
add a $5 gift card, yummy candy, a few cookies,
or whatever you would like
(as long as it fits)

I made this by using the Forever Young
cartridge and cut out the purse at 5.5 inches
I did this on my Gypsy and used the hide feature
function to hide the word that cuts out on the purse.
I cut accent paper to layer on the purse and used
a 1 inch Bell I cut out of the free Christmas Solutions 
cartridge (it was loaded on my Gypsy for registering).
As an extra, I punched out a boarder with my Fiskars
holiday holy punch. 

I placed a piece of velcro under the Bell for the closure
and finished it all off with a pretty holiday ribbon and
My Pink Stamper Rubber Stamps:)

Take a look...

Your Story Blog Hop!

***Scroll down to see the Blog Candy for the second day:)


Welcome to the first Your Story Blog Hop!

This is your last stop on the hop...
If you're just getting started you should head over
and start from the beginning:)

I hope you've had fun hopping through and seeing
all of the wonderful projects that were made
with this little teenie tiny Your Story machine. 

I also hope you have left a comment on each of the
blogs on this hop.  You don't want to miss out on
winning the Awesome giveaways. 
Provocraft is sponsoring our hop with
a blue Cuttlebug!  I LOVE the blue one:)

After seeing all of the great projects this little
Your Story can make, you're probably thinking...
"Hmmmm....where can I get me one of those?"
Well..., rumor has it that HSN will be airing it again
on December 13th at 2AM EST. 

Now on with my project...This is my first time taking
my little Your Story out of the box. 

I decided to create a Christmas Carol
song book with short versions of
popular Christmas Carols.  This is
a fun project to make with a group of people of
any age.  If you plan to go caroling through
the neighborhood or to hospitals or assisted
living homes, you can create your own book and share
your creation with those that you are singing for.

I have several pictures to share.  Each carol has
it's own image that I cut out from several
cartridges.  I wanted to show you a variety of songs
(not all carols are shown)

Hope you enjoy!
