Rubber Stamp Shelf

I wanted to get my rubber stamps out of the drawer I had them in so I could actually see them and use them.  So I asked my husband if he could build me a new shelf for my rubber stamps.  So I wanted y'all to see the process in case you wanted one as well.

We built it using yard sticks, so there was not cutting or sanding.  All we had to do was a little drilling so as not to split the wood on the yard sticks.
First we put the shelves together.
There were 12 shelves in all.



Then we attached one of the top shelves and the bottom shelf to the supports.



Then we started adding the other shelves to the measurements that I wanted.  You may want to vary yours depending on what size rubber stamps you have.  Oh, and what is cool about using yard sticks is the measurements are right on the wood for you so you don't even have to measure just place everything on the correct numbers.  Also make sure the the supports are all facing the same way, if you want to make it easy on yourself.
Anyway so here is what it looks like as we are adding the other shelves.



And here it is all done.


I think it turned out Great!  I love it.

Out of Print card and Birdhouse card

I just went to a Scrapbook store yesterday and bought some of the paper from the Basic Grey Out of Print collection and I had to use it right away.  I love this paper.  I also used the Accent Essentials cartridge from Cricut to cut the flourishes and some paper I printed from my computer for the background.  The brad was from the Stella & Rose collection by My Mind's Eye.  The sentiment stamp is from Studio G. 


This card I made using the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder from Cuttlebug and the stamp is a dollar stamp I got at Joann's from Inkadinkado.

Circles Galore Card and Video 2



Well here is my second attempt at a video, but this time I decided to not talk and use music instead.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy.  The card is very simple but I think it turned out pretty anyway.  Hope you like it.

Flowers in a Jar Card

Well, I got a new stamp and I wanted to try it out, so here it is.



Then I also created this box.  I saw one very similar on the web somewhere.  I don;t remember where, but it might have been one of the Greeting Farm design team blogs now that I think about it.  Anyway, here it is.  Hope you like it.
