Oh the joy of being back in my craft room! I have missed it sooooo much this past week!
Last night and this morning I prepped for my August 20 Birthday and Thank You card class. Here is the sneak peak. Inspiration was found from Convention, Swaps and of course, my own creative juices :-)
We will be creating 4 cards and 1 gift box. We get to play with alot of cool new stuff - Crop-a-dile, scallop, 5 petal flower and 1" punches, paintbrushes, die-cut boxes, chipboards, mega eyelets, new ribbons and of course the new colors!
If you are wanting to sign up for my long distance packets, the Sign Up dealine is August 10 and August 15 for payment. Email me at
marie@stamplounge.com for more details! And as usual, you receive a small gratitude surprise from me in your packets :-D

Does your stamp space every look like this at the end of a project? Tornado Stamp-a-rama has defintely hit! LOL
I was asked to post a photo of how I store my stamps and punches. Well here it is, I use a Bakers Rack.
The top shelve houses all my non-Stampin' Up! stamps. The second shelf (eye level) are most of my Stampin' Up! stamp sets. The third shelf I store my punches, stickles, decorative scissors, and Pearl Ex's. The Fourth shelf is my non Stampin' Up! Designer papers, 3D items for altering and my tins of Stampin' Up! Accent and Elements.
Shelf Five is a CD holder that i picked up at a Garage Sale for $5. I store my most recent cards as well as the most current Card Swaps in it.
The bottom shelf is overflowing with my retired stamps set from last year (They got moved down from shelf number two *sniff sniff*). I still need to go through them and see which I want to keep and which need to find a new home.
Tomorrow I will be working on my Halloween class and a new class I am going to add using Chipboard. Yippee!
