Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for all my readers and customers. May you be having a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. For those of you who are missing loved ones, may your memories help carry you through the day.
I wanted to be able to tear the edge of the designer series paper so I added a photo box and stretched it to fit the size of the card. Then I dragged the Wonderfall Designer Series Paper design 5 into the photo box. By double clicking on the photo box, the option to tear the edges comes up in the list of options. Click on that then click on the side you want to tear. If you don’t like that shape, click on the side again which removes the tear. Then click again and you will get a different tear. Repeat this process until you find one you like. You can also adjust the width of the piece you tear off. I left mine at the default width.
Hanukkah Happiness
Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends and readers. May this season of Hanukkah be filled with joy, love, and peace for you and your family.

The Leaning Tower of Storage
Love my leaning tower? When the packers took apart my wire cubes, they separated the connectors from the cubes. Who knows in what box still packed they might be in! So I improvised with zip ties. After spending the best part of a day constructing my storage tower, I was really proud of my work. Then I started putting things in it! Oh my…I know this won’t work. Today we went to Lowes and purchased a tall cabinet with doors and 5 shelves. That will be much better! The middle of my stamp room is finally empty of boxes but there is stuff stacked all around the perimeter still. Once we get the cabinet put together, I’ll work on stashing my stash. At least I was able to get to my desk yesterday to stamp 15 tags for the Creative Stamping Friends Christmas ABC tag swap.
Don’t forget to check my blog post next Tuesday for the details of my Balck Friday/Cyber Monday special!

Great Stamp Organization Tips
Whoohoo! My shelves for holding all my stamp sets are finally ready! The stamp room is slowly taking shape. I still have a lot of ‘stuff’ to find places to stuff it but each day I make progress. My goal is to have it ready by Nov 23 so I can hold a Holiday Open House that day. This photo makes it look like the shelving is fairly long. Actually, the smallest shelves are only 7 3/4″ long and the largest is 11 3/4″ long and they are 8 inches deep. This is perfect for holding stamp sets. I am thinking of maybe adding more shelves closer together in the narrowest section to hold my new style punches. I have two more sections of narrow set-in shelving. When my room is finished, I’ll be sure to share pictures of it.
Stamp storage tip:I keep the stamps in a set together in the case they come in. Then I ‘file’ them on the shelves by category like flowers, kids, sayings, etc.
Paper scrap storage:
Stampin’ Up! sells Large Flat Cello Bags 6″ x 8″. The number is 102210 and come in a package of 50 for $4.95. I store my 81/2″ x 11″ card stock in hanging file folders. I have the color name written on one of these cello bags for each color card stock I have. Then I put the scraps into the cello bag and put it into the hanging folder with the corresponding color of full pieces. When the scrap is bigger than 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, I trim it down to the half sheet which fits perfectly in the cello bag. I keep dsp scraps in the same package as the whole sheets. If you would like to try this method of storing your scraps, click on the link to order them. You can also visit my online store to order any other supplies you need.

I have been thinking of ordering Santa’s List stamp set from the Holiday Catalog but have put off doing it because I am trying to cut back on my expenses this month.

Joyful Christmas!
I’ve been really neglecting my traditional stamping for quite some time now. Settling into our house has been taking a lot of time. It’s hard to find new homes for all our ‘stuff’ and I mean ‘stuff’. Goodness, my tiny little stamp room in Craig was crammed with stuff. Here I have a much bigger room but less storage as it doesn’t have a nice closet to stash ‘stuff’ in. It is a challenger to find places to stash my stash. I may have to…oh horrors!…just throw away some of the stash that has been sitting around for YEARS!
Anyway, I did create this card for my Craig stampers to make yesterday. I have been introducing them to heat & stick powder and glitter. This is the second month they have used those supplies. I’m just glad I don’t have to clean up all the extra glitter. :o) In case you are wondering, the print in the background doesn’t say anything. It isn’t even actual letters. The artist just wanted to simulate handwriting and I think they did a great job.
If you haven’t experimented with the Heat & Stick Powder yet, let me give you a few tips.
- Don’t use a stamp whose image has a lot of detail. The detail gets lost in the glitter.
- As usual, brush an Embossing Buddy over your card stock first. Then stamp your image with Versamark ink.
- Then sprinkle Heat & Stick powder over the image like you would embossing powder. The Heat & Stick powder may be lumpy. It is OK to smash the lumps.
- Use your heat tool to melt the powder just until it becomes shiny. Overheating will drive the powder into the card stock and it will lose its stickiness.
- Sprinkle your glitter on, tap off the excess, and then heat the image again for about 5 sec. This will help set the glitter.
I encourage you to give this product a try. You will be able to have glitter on precisely the lines of your image. Click on the linked products below to order the supplies for this project or visit my online store to order them.

Christmas Gift Dilemma
Stumped about what to give a crafty friend for Christmas? Want to give her something for her stamping addiction but are afraid she already has something? Then look no more!
