Every Friday, I am going to incorporate the Flylady into my Stampin' Up! blog.  I love Flylady's home routines, so my routine on Friday now includes a blog post on craft organization.

Like most people, I am always looking for the best way to organize my stamping supplies.  When you click on the Color Inventory Sheet picture, you will be able to download and print a pdf file that you can use to track your stamping supplies.  With the Color Renovation and new In Colors, I needed to have all of my current supplies listed in one place. 

I hope this helps you stay organized with your stamping supplies.  If you have a request for a future Flylady Friday blog post, please leave me a comment.

This card uses my favorite stamp set Medallion.

The best thing about this stamp set is that I can easily change the color and size of the stamp because it is a digital download.  I used My Digital Studio to make this card and have it professionally printed. 

To order this digital download for only $1.95 plus tax, click here and use item 118124.  This is much cheaper than a coffee at Starbucks, and you can use it over and over again with any digital crafting program.

I used the Color Coach to select the colors for the card:  Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and So Saffron.  With a few additional clicks, I added an extra layer of cardstock (as a punch image) and some embellishments.  Love it! 

If you have any questions on My Digital Studio, please email me.

In addition to the excitement of the Greenhouse Gala Tote offer, the HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG is here.

If you already have a SU demonstrator, please contact her for a copy.  Otherwise, I will mail you your very own copy of the HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG today.

Today is the LAST CHANCE to order from the Summer Mini Catalog.  You don’t want to miss out on some of my favorite Summer mini products that did not make it into the Big Catty:

• Rough Type Alphabet (WM 118659, CM 120072)
• Watercolor Trio (WM 117050, CM 120084)
• Favorite Thoughts (WM 116968, CM 120048)
• First Day (of School) (WM 118521, CM 120051)
• Motorcycle (WM 117657)

Be sure to click on the image above and make sure you don’t miss your last chance to order from the Summer Mini Catalog.

I will be placing one final order this evening at 8 PM CT.  If you would like to add your items to this order to save on shipping, please email me.  You can also order online 24/7 before 11:50 PM MT.

When you are working with the White Signo Gel Pen, I recommend that you stamp all of the images first, and then add the white accents and set the accent pieces aside.  It doesn’t take long for the White Gel Pen accents to dry, but I would set the accents aside while you assemble the rest of the card base.

I spent a lot of time this last week cleaning my stamping area.  I usually start the new Stampin’ Up! catalog year in July with "A Clean Slate".  Well, after spending much of the summer in Texas, my stamping area didn’t get cleaned up until August.  I love working in a clean area!

Of course, it doesn’t always look this clean!  Would you like to share your stamping area?  If so, please email me and attach a pic.  I would love to share your crafting area on my blog.

I’ll be showing more pictures soon, so you can see how I organize.  Yes, all of the cabinets and drawers are FULL of my stamping and scrapbooking items.  I also have a bookshelf where I store all of my stamp set and ink caddies.  I can’t wait to stamp on my clean area this weeekend. 

If you have any questions on these projects, please let me know.

I enjoy sharing the art of stamping and scrapbooking with others, so please let me know if you would like to host a gathering with your friends.  As an added bonus, you are welcome to have the gathering at my house.  Check back tomorrow, and I’ll have more detailed information on the projects.
