Organizational Project~

Happy Sunday! Yesterday I saw an organizational project in blogland.  It made so much sense, that I DIY'd my own.

 Here is the finished project - a notebook stamp holder.  Maybe you have seen these, I probably have also, but it struck me as brilliant on Saturday.

Rather then going and buying these 2 pocket sheet protectors, I made my own!!

Start with a sheet protector
Sew it in half
[look at that - I even sewed a straight line! :)]

Using my new board and a box knife, I cut through the sheet, leaving 1/4" on either edge

I lined each sheet section with card stock cut 5x8




Added my stamps, and I am good to go!
One sheet holds 4 stamps sets! I ended up making 2 notebooks and I still have one more to make, but this has gotten rid of a couple of boxes, along with making these images much more accessible.  I was pretty darn excited that I actually sewed too! I linked this up to A Bowl Full of Lemons.


Hope you had a good week end~



Thanks for stopping by~

Wow! What a great idea, Vicki! I've been wondering how to store my clear stamp set sheets and this is awesome! I'm going to try this. If I fail I may be knocking at your door as you're only a "few" miles up the road (I-10) from me.; ) Thanks for sharing!!!

This is a perfect idea. My poor IBS stamps are stored in a box and this would be ideal for them! Thanks so much for sharing, Vicki!! Yay
