Stamp Inventory Binders

Good morning everyone!

OMGoodness, we had so much fun yesterday!!! I showed Sandi a lot of things about stamping, we made a card & a template for her to have on hand on how to make a spring card. I gave her some stamped images & we cut them out with a few different nestabilities so that she could make a few cards when she has time. She told me I just created a monster! Hehehe!!! Dan grilled us some hamburgers & made us a salad for lunch & then he took off to leave us ladies alone in our stamping glory! What a great guy I married hah? He's the BEST! I had a ball Sandi & can't wait to do it again, maybe bring Janis next time (her daughter) just leave the kids with her mother-in-law for the day, she would love that!

Ok all, here is my stamp inventory binders that I talked about last week. By setting up these binders it saves me so much time, now my sets are in company sections & by each stamp or sentiment (in the sentiment binder as well) I have a little note telling me where to find the stamp in my craft room...yes I did put that info in pencil in case I move the stamp into a different section as I get organized. I tried to think ahead, hahaha!!! I still have a lot more to put into these binders but a little at a time right?! I'm about halfway done with this. As I get new sets what I will do from now on is make a copy of the picture of the whole set & then adhere it to the page, so that all I need to stamp is the sentiments in that binder. Leave me a comment & let me know what you think, tell me how you keep track of your stamps.

This is my SU stamp section


This is my Hanna Stamp section



This binder holds all my sentiments by category...Birthday, Get Well, Sympathy, Wedding, etc. I luv this, now all I have to do is look in the binder for a sentiment & see where it is & go get it, saves so much time from searching through my sets to see what I want to use.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
