My new favorite tool - STAMP-A-MA-JIG

How did I put stamps together before? I thought I didn't need this little tool. But what a difference it makes.

Ever put your stamps together - and the stamped image was crooked? The top image looked good - but it didn't line up with the stamped image?

When you assemble your stamps using the Stamp-a-ma-jig the label will be placed exactly to match the rubber.

Step 1

Lay out all your accessories - stamp set, stamp pad (dark color is best), blocks, labels and Stamp-a-ma-jig (SAJ) and imaging sheet (from SAJ)

Step 2

Attach the label to the side of the case. This is an important piece of the stamp that is often left off. It lets you see what stamp set it is when it is stored (title of the set) and the number of stamps in that set (when you are stamping away and can't remember which birthday saying goes in which box!)

Step 3

Lay out all the blocks and choose which stamp goes with which size block. DO THIS BEFORE ATTACHING ANYTHING. Sometimes the stamp you think goes with a block does not!

Step 4

Attach the first stamp to the block. DO NOT ADD THE LABEL YET!

Step 5

Ink up the stamp. Line up the corner of the SAJ imaging sheet (rough side up) with your SAJ, and stamp the image in the corner of the sheet.

Step 6

Turn imaging sheet over. Line up the label STICKY SIDE UP, over the stamped image. Lightly adhere label to imaging sheet using removable tape.

Step 7

Line up SAJ once again. Line block up with corner of SAJ and press down to attach label to block. Carefully pull off removable tape.

NOW, perfect stamped images everytime. I may be more time consuming at first, but it saves you a lot of crooked images in the future.

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Pages

The "tree" page is our camp page from December.

The next couple posts are pages I am planning for my

"Christmas - Done in a Day" camp.

We will do 10 total pages. If you came to camp - all 12 will match!

I am using the Designer Paper Cerise (retired), Real Red, Very Vanilla and Wild Wasabi

Thanks for looking

Spoiler Alert!

If you don't want to know anything about the new catty - turn away now!

If you want to see SOME of the fun new things, then here they are. Lots more I didn't take pix of including:

1) 12 x 12 cardstock is back in ALL COLORS!
2) REALLY cool rub ons

3) FELT FLOWERS (and you know I generally do not like flowers)

I have only gotten my catty. The ones I ordered will hopefully be in by camp on the 27th.

Last one

Here is the last of the Christmas cards for the stamp-a-stack. The pix is not great - but you get the point. This one is a bit more time consuming than the others - so be forwarned. There is glitter on the wings and embossed wording.

Scroll down to see the other cards to pick from and pricing. I have to know by NOVEMBER 10th, what cards you want to do and how many.

November Pages

Here is a sneek peak at November pages. I didn't put a title on it, 'cause I thought maybe some would want Thanksgiving and some my wants something about playing in the leaves.

I'm almost impressed with myself!

The boys have Fall Festival at their school on Friday. Trey's classroom is "auctioning" off a basket of office supplies. Ok, if their is one thing that intrigues me as much as scrapbooking stuff - it is office supplies. I think they go together :)

This is what I made to add to the fun. I used some retired designer paper, Office Accrutements (sp) and covered a $1 clipboard from WM. I also covered a $1 notebook from the dollar store (notice the build a brad!). I stamped a post-it-note like pad that SU! used to sell and covered some jumbo paper clips.

I really liked the way it turned out. CUTE IDEA FOR TEACHERS GIFTS or BOSSES GIFTS for CHRISTMAS!
