hmmm...kind of an odd combo for a title?
but you'll see that it fits the content...
today's stamp giveaway is...
sentimental art...
this set has my favorite new giant background...
LOTS of sayings & a very cool vintage ticket...
once again...
just click on the link...
leave a comment under the photo & that's your chance to win this set...
we'll choose a random winner from the group comments @ 7am tomorrow...
one of the questions I get asked a lot, is about storage of art supplies...
I can not create in chaos...
it makes me nuts...
or as Rick says...NUTS..ER than usual...
he's kidding...
*I THINK*?
plus, since my studio is right off the kitchen, with no door,
I want it to look good...
this vintage find had me jumping out of my skin...
I knew that it would be THE PERFECT storage for my distress stains...
ALL 37 of them...
I knew this would look good & allow them to sit on the island, right where I work...
I waited a LONG time to get the remaining NEWEST stains...
and I don't let them out of my sight...
this little oak beauty was $9.00...
now since it's deep & the distress stains would be standing in there & I wouldn't be able to read the labels for the color...
I went to plan B...
here's what I did...
a 3/4 inch circle punch is the PERFECT fit for the lid...
a spot of Wonder Tape...
and some manila card stock scraps...
to make them look like this...
nice, neat & HANDY...
because I'm addicted & use them on EVERY project...
to lay down my base coat of color...
ok...that was the storage stuff...
back to sentimental art...
here's some photos from a project in book #5...
that background looks like this when stamped with olive archival ink...
and the same stamp can be used on the small art parts too...
like this new flower pot...
I used sepia archival this time...
now it's time to announce yesterday's stamp winner...
congrats to...

Crossing my fingers again, Wendy!
Love the box for storage! I've been keeping mine in an old cigar box and yesterday I picked up all the new ones. Love the circle on top and will be fixing mine shortly.
Oh and I can't believe you will be teaching in Crown Point. I used to work there when I first got married . . . some 30+ years ago.
Woo hoo, doing a happy dance here across the pond. Going to have so much fun with this set, thank you Wendy,Ted & Michelle for making my day. How cool is your Distress Stain box ... love it.
Very cool box for the distress stains! I'm still working on acquiring all the colors and then will need my own cool storage. The stamp set is fab, and I especially love the quotes.
You always find the greatest storage...that box is a wonderful place to keep all your Distress Stains handy!
Thinking SENTIMENTAL ART today with fingers crossed!
