Well, it's been a LONG time! We've moved MANY miles to a new home in Kentucky. Things were chaotic last year as we left our FL home and waited out the sale, eventually settling in here. We still have boxes to unpack, and things to paint, but we are all together and the furniture is assembled! That's the big part.
As for my new Stamp Room - it's still under construction! But I have managed to make a few projects since the move! One is this Embossing Folder book. I found
this sample in the SCS Gallery, from a member named Wenchie before we even moved. (And have since found out that not only is she very creative, she's a SUPER nice person as well!)
I embossed a bunch of samples from my folders before the movers came, and when we got here I finished the job. Would you believe that from August to January, I only had three more to add to my stack??
I decorated and bound my book, now all I have to do is choose how to store the folders. I'm not sure if I have the room to make my own box as she did, but if I do make one I'll post that, too.
Here is the cover of my book, and a photo of the inside. You can see that I have my samples sorted by the company they come from. All my page separators are tabbed and labelled.
Then, a photo of what I did inside the back cover. Since I used a Bind It All to bind my samples, I was stumped as to what I'd do once I bought more. I decided to add a small pocket to the book, where I can place my samples. After I have five or so that need to be added, I'll just take off the binding and re-bind including the new ones. I won't have to do it often, so that should work.
Have you found a creative way to store your samples? I'd love to see!
