WOYWW 263

Jo-Ann Fabrics is having a clearance on some Tim Holtz products. The skull and crossbones were $1.97 I believe and everything else was $0.97 soooo I HAD to bring them home. On the upper right is a bottle of Glow in the Dark Glitter Glue. It glows in the dark and it's glittery.

I used it on this jar of "sunshine" over Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. The picture was taken in nearly dark, but the glitter just refuses to show up on photographs no matter the lighting I've used so far. I'm still trying to figure out what to do for the card background... It's a work in progress lol.

Happy WOYWW. Today I have a card in progress (for the Simon Says Paint challenge),I used distress paint on a fun foam stamp I cut with the Friendship Jar from Papertrey Ink (it's the orange shape on the left) which I glued to a piece of plastic clam shell. The re-inkers are for the Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink, which is making an inkpad out of a babywipe and re-inkers. The challenge for me is that I only have black and various tones of brown re-inkers, so it's time to make a thinking cap lol.

On the organizational front, I love Papertrey Ink, but sometimes it's difficult for me to see the images, so I took an 8.5" x 11" paper, scored it at 5.25", folded it and then punched holes. The stamped images of the set on the front, tip sheet info is written on the back and in the fold out part is where I glue cuts from the dies, and notes about the set I have rattling around in my head. The stamp set here is All Booked Up.

UPDATE: Ordinarily this is where I'd be directing you to our chief desker's blog, however she is in the hospital so there won't be a central hopping location this week and possibly next. Hoping she is up and about soon.

Golfer's Notepad

A golfer's notepad made with Erin Lincoln's technique for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #167. I also entered it in Simon Says Father's Day Challenge (because it's for my dad, but he doesn't read my blog).

I really love using every bit of my crafting supplies (including the packaging). The notepad gift sleeve is made with the cellophane from a rubberstamping package and the rosette is made from a Papertrey Ink stamp set label.

Apparently I don't have ANY fleshy dinosaur stamps (I have a few fossil stamps though).  I've resumed my effort to stamp all my stamps. I stamp them on the appropriate sheets (background, dogs, future, Eiffel Tower etc) and then slip the sheets into plastic sleeves in a large notebook/binder. I'm still trying to work out how store the different sorts of stamps. It's a been work in progress since 1998 lol.

I use this shoe holder to store my large and most used punches. All the floor in front of it was cleared the other day, but slowly things are moving in. .

I'm really pleased with the way this card has turned out (details are here). I'm thinking about making a copy for a flip book desky sort of thing (they stand up on their own and you can switch the picture).  For more crafty desks, head over to Julia's Stamping Ground.
