just for fun

I just love these stamps by Penny-Torrente at Stampotique. And this girl is my favorite.




So I made a multiple shot. Actually I stamped her on my favorite.....paint chip samples and added a little extra color and some printed tissue paper. I am using them on my tags that I use as business cards. That is my favorite tissue paper and I am out of it and can not find it anywhere!


This is what I did yesterday. I am STILL cleaning up the studio and wanted something to store some of my books in. I got a couple of these boxes for free. The store was throwing them away.



I got a roll of prepasted wallpaper at Sherwin Williams for 25 cents. They were in a bucket and I didn't exactly know what the print looked like but I liked the color and for 25 cents you can't go wrong. I wasn't worried about matching up the print. It's just getting shoved into a shelf.
I set it outside to dry and......


.....my books fit in perfectly.



...here...you don't have to squint. I love my books and refer to them often.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Hi Suze! Brilliant how you store your books now...like you, I love my books and refer to them all the time. Like Sharon, I think I have everything I need to make one of these - thanks for sharing.

Good idea for organizing your books. I love the jeans bags you made. This is my first time here, I'll check out the rest of your website...I like what I've seen so far.

Suze, I have this thing about boxes and cubbies and buckets, and-and seeing the ones you cover ... it's like a siren's song. Before I know it, I shall have de covered boxes from floor to ceiling (not to mention a very scowly-faced husband!).

What a great collection of books, too.

Happy day!
