Courtney's "Gingham" Closet

I've been using my Purple Onion Stamps a lot more lately since I FINALLY got them all organized. I use to have them all in a plastic tote but it was hard to see what I had. Plus, I was using double stick tape to adhere them to my stamp blocks and it was a pain. I've had Aleen's Tack Over Glue for awhile and just hadn't taken the time to use it. I spent one morning spreading the glue on the back of all the stamps and now they all stick wonderfully to my blocks. They also stay put on the plastic dividers I bought from Creative Memories when I was a consultant. I punched holes in the dividers and into a notebook they went. It's much handier to have them ready to go and out where I can see them.

Libby lured me into this weeks From Courtney's Closet Challenge by putting her adorable daughter in gingham. I had to play!!! This flower stamp was one I got from Michelle when I was in the final stages of applying to be a designer for here. I love this stamp!!! I inked it up with my SU Real Red and Basic Black markers and stamped it twice on Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut them out and attached them to the card front with jumbo black brads. I love the effect. Both of the flowers stick up from the card. Here's a side angle so you can see the dimension. My hubby thought it looked weird but what does he know ;) Thanks for stopping by!!
