It has helped quite a bit in my organization.

Then use the container by cutting out the center "knob" and put stamps in there. Take out the info in the sleeve and replace with sheet of white paper containing the name of stamp set and stamped image of each stamp in the set.

My organizing tip(s) is I also keep my paper in file folders with a snip of the color in the tab and have them grouped with the SU! color groups and I have my punches on a wall display so I can just look and grab the punch I need.

I had mentioned I noticed your lips and your toe nails were kissed with Melon Mambo, too ;). For my tip, I couldn't live without my page protectors and 3-ring binder for ideas. Also, I punched every punch I own onto card stock and bound them together...fit in my purse. I've been known to buy twice (can't say I don't have consistent taste! ;). Enjoy your down time and heal quickly.

I store mine in clear box, but unless they are on the edges of the box I have to take them all out, too! :) Love the new pads, will definitely be buying some more new ones. :) My favorite tip is using giant Hefty zipper food storage bags for storing themed items. I have a curtain rod mounted upside down, and I clip the big bags to pant hangers and hang them on the rod. A closet rod would work beautifully too, but I don't have a closet in my space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707571227989580629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294812724578953185.post-42195441857108255682012-08-10T21:40:13.331-05:002012-08-10T21:40:13.331-05:00Thank you for this opportunity.

Also, I have a small plastic organizer which I keep my dimensionals, rhindstones, pearls and recipes in. It is so helpful to have in an organized way. I hope your feet heal quickly.

I used the extra color labels on the new foam pads to add a color strip to the inside of the ink pad as well as to the outside of the end opposite the color name label. Some colors are hard to tell apart when the pads are open so this makes the color visible from both sides as well as the open pad. I hope that makes sense.<br />I have enjoyed reading all of the tips everyone has shared, and I hope your feet heal quickly!Barbara Dykhousehttp://www.stampingsweetspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294812724578953185.post-3321853028676765662012-08-10T18:51:52.477-05:002012-08-10T18:51:52.477-05:00What a Great idea!!

When I buy a new refill, I just put the old cap on the new bottle when the old is empty. My orgaization tip..when I find card samples that I like on the internet, I print them, cut them down and put them inside the box of stamps that matches the set. I hope that your footsies heal quickly so that you can wear those cute shoes again and take that cute little guy for a walk :o)Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023950296094026546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294812724578953185.post-71790413619489267082012-08-10T11:49:56.783-05:002012-08-10T11:49:56.783-05:00Hi Anne Marie, Hope you are on the mend.

One of my organizing tips is to keep stamps separated by holidays, birthdays, etc. so that when I need a birthday stamp, they are all in the same place and I don't have to go looking through a bunch of cartons.

So I have a computer document for scrapbook ideas, spring, summer, xmas, winter, valentines, birthday etc. So when I need to make a birthday car, I just have to open the birthday documents and there are lots of ideas right there..Az Scrappin Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084605407837535886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294812724578953185.post-88260827758900131002012-08-10T09:52:44.448-05:002012-08-10T09:52:44.448-05:00I love this idea!

I love this way to organize the re-inkers - I don't have a color caddy like you had and have been keeping mine in a cigar box, so putting the color tabs on top of the bottles like this will be perfect for me. Thank you so much for sharing that tip with us. Congratulations on your two year blog-anniversary. Emmitt is adorable.

I use a LB basket to store my punches. I used to store them in a cardbox and realized I needed to put a few of my baskets to good use. I also use these baskets to store my Big Shot dies for now and some of the cards I have made (bread basket).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing a picture of Emmitt. He is adorable! Thanks also for a chance to win the Melon Mambo ink pad. That is my second favorite color and I would love to add it to my collection. <br /><br />Happy Healing! :)Kimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028954812729277154noreply@blogger.com
