Stamp-A-Stack Card #1 Snowburst One Sheet Wonder

We are doing this card at my Holiday Stamp-A-Stack events this year. This is a project that you can complete as a One-Sheet Wonder or on as a single card. If you are using the One-Sheet-Wonder, Stamp the pattern on the Whisper White full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and then Cut the 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 strips. This will make it go a lot faster AND you will get enough strips for 8 Cards and some scraps you could use for other projects!And for a little more glitz, you ca use a rhinestone brad in the center. If you don't own the Snowburst set, you can substitute any circle design stamp set, such as Seeing Spots or Polka Dots and Petals! The directions below are for doing a single card at at time because, we were only make 5 cards of this design at the stamp-a-stacks and I know people like to do their own stamping.

Tins

I made these cute little tins and had a ball doing it. They use the Happy Me Simply Scrappin' Bundle (Hostess Level 3). I got the tins from the $1 spot at Target a while back....they were full of Tootsie Rolls...had fun eating those as well. The pens are from the $1 at Target as well and the mini clipboard came in a three pack for $1 at AC Moore.

My Stamp Room---Finally

For years, I've been using a corner in my living room. Well, finally, I downsized my kids toys and moved them to their rooms and the basement since they're a little older and turned their playroom in to my stamp room. It's so nice to be able to spread out and not have to clean up everything for the night every day. It's also nice when I hold classes at my house so I don't have to move everything to my dining room.:) I just had to share. I've had it like this for about 3 weeks now and I finally hung the bulletin boards today. :) They're 12x12 cork panels with Blue Bayou DP. :)

My Eyelet, Brad and Button Storage

We were posting on SUFriends today our Tuesday Tips. I mentioned this organizer and several have asked to see it, so I'm posting it here.

I use these bead storage containers to store my brads, buttons and eyelets. I have them all labled by color and type. I use these because I have 2- and 4-year-old boys who get into everything and I was worried about my 2-year old swallowing them. They can't open them too easliy, so I feel better. Plus, I can easily see if I need to order more or if I have enough to do my project that I want to do. :)

National Military Family Month Card

National Military Family Month is November and I've been trying to come up with cards that celebrate our patriotism, but also show support for our troops who are stationed overseas. So far, this is what I've come up with. Any comments, suggestios would be much appreciated!
