How I Store My Maggies

Quick post for today..I thought I would share with you the way I store my Maggies (and other cling stamps).  I bought this awesome photo storage case from Michaels.  It came with 12 smaller 4 x 6 boxes inside, it is originally to store your photos in but I thought, what the heck, this would make great storage for my Maggies!!  I think I'm working on box 4 now :)  I really love the way they are categorized, by collection.  Some have more than one box for a collection, they hold about 6 regular size Maggies and a couple of the sentiments and accessories for that collection (you can see by the second photo). 
The case runs about $40 (this includes the 12 cases inside), I purchased mine either on sale or I used my Michaels 50% coupon.  Additional 4 x 6 boxes can be purchased for $1.99. 

I just love this storage solution!  I hope you liked it :)

Here is the inside of the little box, occassionally if I have masked an item, I will store the image that was masked (cut out from paper) adhered to the inside of the lid of the box where the stamp is stored.  I like to mask things alot so it keeps me from having to constantly cut my image out to mask with.

Hearts and Flowers

Thanks for stopping by!  Today's card is for Cute Card Thursday, our theme this week is Hearts and Flowers.  My card has a little surprise with it, scroll down to see what I mean.

The awesome designer papers are from Prima Marketing, Jack and Jill Collection, one of my favs at the moments.  The cool looking flower border down the side of my card was made with my new Martha Stewart border punch.  I used Bon Voyage Tilda, Log and I think the flowers are from the Lazy Summer Collection from 2009.

My surprise is the Mini Tilda tag!!  I used Tilda With Many Hearts.

Princess

Hello there!  I forgot to add my card to my blog for Sunday Sketch & Stamp!!  I guess when I returned from CHA my mind was somewhere else!  CHA was so much fun!!  I had a great time meeting people in person that I have been on design teams with have chatted with.  I'll try to post some pictures later on. 

Onto my card!!  Our awesome sketch this week was provided by the very talented Erin.  I masked Lady Tilda with the stone window from the Fairy Tale collections.  The polka dot and butterfly paper is from Prima Marketing, the Jack and Jill collection (one of new favorites at the moment!!)

Thanks for stopping by!  See you on Thursday!

Diamond Fold

Hello Everyone!  Sorry I am late posting my card for the One Stop Craft Challenge challenge this week.  This weeks theme is "More Than One Fold".  I chose to do a diamond fold card.  I recently saw this on You Tube and I thought I'd give it a try.  I have to say it is a whole lot easier than it looks!

Start with a piece of paper 4" x 12".  Score with your Scor-Pal  at 2", 4" 8" and 10".  Next make a light marking on the back at 6", this is where you will start your diagonal lines at.  Here is a template that I created for it:

Below are some pictures to give you a better idea on how I folded it.

I used my cute little hAnglar girl to adorn my card and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft, my absolute favorite spot to purchase paper flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Shabby Chic Valentine

Yeah!  It's Thursday!  It is also time for another challenge at Cute Card Thursday!  This week we want to see your cards that feature a recipe of 123...any combo it can be 1 paper, 2 ribbons, 3 buttons or 1 image, 2 flowers and 3 papers....the combo is entirely up to you.  This week's sponsor is "Simply Betty Stamps", hop on over to the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog for more information.

I've started making Valentine cards!  They are one of my favorites because I just love the colors!  Pinks, burgundy, purples, ect. all so girly and I'm all about being girly!  Both of my images today are from the new So Special Collection.  I used "King Tilda" and "Mini Tilda with Many Hearts"(for my tag).  My recipe is 1 tag, 2 designer papers and 3 ribbons.  The tag was cute with the "Lacy Labels" cartridge from Cricut.  I had so much fun distressing and "shabby chicing" everything!  I embossed the oval behind King Tilda with an embossing folder from Stampin Up!

Nothing says Shabby Chic like lace, ribbon and buttons so I added lots of them!

Thanks for dropping by today!  See you again soon!
