The Stamp Storage Idea...

okay ... So many request for a clearer sense of how I store my Stamps... so Here it is ... but before ... Here is a picture of my Liquid Glue Stash .. ahahah . different kinds .. for different techniques...


Alot hor ... hahaha .. okay .. here it is .. how I store my Stamps ... UM and Clear...


Files from Popular .. I got the hard Cover kind .. dun like flimsy types lah ... I got those that U can slide stuff in the front, back and sides ... Cost ... $5 from Popular .. :) they are those arch files ...


This is the Hard Cover Case that I got from Popular .. Cost is 1.75 .. Size is A4 .. there are many different Sizes .. and I have some B5 Size for my Alpha Stamps .. (depending on Size of Stamps too . )



I used my Cropadile to punch holes in at the "SEALED" side so that I can use the "opened" side to slide in Plain Paper so that I can stick the "image" (Usually in the Packaging) onto the paper and stick the stamp above the clear file (like how you stick ur stamp on ur acrylick Block)

Proof that I use the one which opens horizontally instead of on the top ...

heheh .. So hope this is clear enuff .. if not .. erm .. let me think of something ..

Ribbon Storage

Here is how I store my ribbons .. I am sure many of you have tons of ribbons lying ard your area and or tangled up in jars. I know that many scrapbookers use those large ikea jars to keep your ribbons by color but I find that this way is the best to keep them using the least amount of space . I use DMC Thread Spokes and the DMC Thread keeper for this.



1) Folder and Spokes look like this. One Folder can keep up to 14 spokes and spokes are sold in packets of 10. I get them at Spotlight but have spotted them at art friend and most places that sell Cross Stich Stuff. The Folder Cost abt 1.79 each and a packet of Spokes is abt 1.99.

As the folders have Holes already punched they fit into most 2 ring Binders and I store them in the same Files as My Stamps. Files from Popular Bookstore.



My Ribbon Collection. They are sorted by Colors, or if I have many of the same kind but different colors (aka Polka Dotted, Grosgrain) they are kept by type.



This is how it looks filed...

Hope this Helps in your organising ur stash ...

Sighz ... Kitty asked me about pictures of my scrap area and I told her that yeah .. it will be ready soon .. so I came back and packed and packed and packed for the last 4 hours .... Took a glance and the area is never gonna be as neat as now ....so took some photos and guess what .. MY CARD READER DIED ON ME ... sighz .. so u peepes gotta wait abit longer ...

I am very happy with the area now .. and I think I will be inspired to scrap more ... i'd better because I have been in a lull for the longest time ... and with the new CHA stuff I got ... I had better start my scrapping engine ...
