Every year I make these New Year's Resolutions that last about a week and then it is forgotten. This year for Christmas, I kept thinking, I am going to improve the efficiency and organization in my craft room.
I have accumulated a small collection of Cuttlebug embossing folders and acrylic stamps. Since both collections are small I have decided to start with these. A few days ago I found a really neat idea to make folders embossed with the embossing folders they are holding. I wanted to create my own. The lady who kindly shared her idea is okieladybug and her blog is http://okieladybugsscrapnmore.blogspot.com/. Since I don't have Design Studio I made my own folders using my Gypsy. I have made 2 sizes of folders to accomodate the 5X7 embossing folders and the smaller A2 folders. I have labelled each folder with the name of the embossing folder that is designated to it. (By the way, did you know Michael's is selling the Gypsy for clearance prices of $69.99, I saw them today). For the stamps that I have, I plan on making the same folders but instead of embossing them, I will stamp them with the stamps that they house. This provides a quick and organized way of seeing what I have and being able to locate my tools efficiently. I will post pictures when I complete the project.
