Good Morning! It is time for another great Craft Hoarders challenge and this time it is all about stamps.
Challenge #5 Pick a Stamp, Any Stamp!You don't have to be a card maker to hoard stamps! With the popularity of pocket-style scrapbooking and the explosion of journaling stamps on the market, many scrapbookers have also become stamp hoarders. Plus, digital stamps are more popular than ever. I am sure that most of us have at least one stamp in our stash! You may "collect" wood mounted stamps, clear stamps, cling rubber, or even digital! Get one out, dust it off, and make it the STAR of your project! We want to see a stamp (sentiment, word art, image, etc.) as the focal point of your project! Feel free to use more than one stamp, but you must have AT LEAST ONE stamped item on your project.
I am not a stamper by any means so this was a challenge for sure! I was lucky enough to have some great Hampton Arts stamps to play with that made it much easier!!
Hampton Arts is our prize sponsor this month and have generously donated this AWESOME prize which you could win...

For every month that contains a fifth Monday, at Craft Hoarders we will do a FEATURE WEEK and a LINKY PARTY!
The design team members will take turns sharing their storage tips and solutions. Each of us will share how we store our hoard! Three designers will share each "fifth week" during the year! You will get to peek into the design team's craft spaces and see how they manage to "contain" their hoarded supplies!
Plus you will have the opportunity to share your own storage solutions, tips, ideas, etc., by linking up to the Link Tool HERE! One RANDOM WINNER for March will win this prize:
Today is my day to share how I organize my hoard with you! Like the majority of crafters, my most hoarded item is patterned paper. I admit...I am a paper addict. I used to just keep all of my paper in plastic bins by collection, and still do have a TON organized like that, but since I discovered these awesome scrapbook shelves, I feel so much more organized!! I can see what I have right in front of me and actually use up collections that I may have forgotten about if they weren't stored this way.
If only I had a huge room to hold lots more of these!!!
I also hoard Washi tape, enamel dots and Flair. LOVE'em all but I don't really have a great way of organizing any of them. My washi tape is in a big glass container. While they look pretty on my desk, it is a pain when I want one from the bottom of the jar! :/
I store my flair and enamel dots in baskets that sit right next to my desk within easy grasp!
I look forward to checking out all of the link ups to come up with some great organization ideas from you!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!!
I played with the recent sketch over at Stuck on U Sketches and pulled out the new Birthday Bisque collection because the sketch worked perfectly with this line. I scrapped these not-so-good pictures of my oldest son when we celebrated his last birthday in November. He was not being cooperative with me and the camera!!!
I added a journal card to the Happy Birthday on and slid it behind one of the photos. I really like doing hidden journaling for some reason!
That's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
A new challenge is posted at Color Me Scrappy for all of you that like a good color challenge! I love this month's color board...
I used some favorite papers from the MME Collectible line to create my page using the colors as inspiration...
I hope that you will pull out some papers and play along with us this month at Color Me Scrappy!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
