Is anyone like me with a whole drawer full of unmounted stamps, but because they are unmounted you can hardly tell which is which? Well the other day I wanted to join in the Facebook Sweet Pea stamps challenge, but you have to use a stamp that is currently on their website to join in. Oh what a job I had trying to decipher what each stamp was and then I had a light bulb moment and tried this out. Stamp the image on any old scraps of white card - add to the pockets on the jewellery holder and then add the rubber stamp to the back and bobs your uncle.
Two sides too so in total you can store 66 stamps - oops - I think I may need a few more hangers!
There is plenty of room for each stamp and so easy to find the one you want. I think I bought the hanger at B&M stores, but I've seen them on sale all over and they are not very expensive. I wonder how long it will take a craft company to seize the idea and sell them at £30 a time!!
Now I know this is not a card or a scrapbook page or anything of the sort, but I did use snippets of white card and it took ages so I'm entering into the challenge at Pixie's Snippet Playground. I think Di would like to see this idea anyway cause I have a feeling she might just have a few stamps to house too.
The sun is shining here and I'm having a fabulous weekend. I hope you are too.

or at least they do in my grandson's world. So with his fourth birthday coming up what else could I put on one of his cards but a huge T-Rex?
Our challenge at My Time to Craft this week is the dreaded male cards!! I must admit I sometimes find adult male cards quite tricky to decide on a theme for, but kiddy ones can be so much fun. I love making them for the grandchildren, which is just as well as I have two more to make before next Thursday.
Today's card was created using a Krafty Hands CD that I bought some time ago after seeing it on the British Craft Network TV. It has a really good choice of both backing papers and different dinosaurs on it so a really good buy.
I tend not to print out the papers as they are on the CD but transfer the images to Serif Craft Artist to plan out the design and decide on which pieces I need to print. This design is decoupaged although you really can't tell that much in the photo.
It's my second week of being a guest on the team at My Time to Craft and I'm really enjoying it. I visited so many blogs last week and saw some stunning work. I hope to see even more great stuff this week so get out your 'man' stash and start creating. It's getting really close to Father's Day so this is a good chance to be prepared.

Have a great weekend.

It's so long since I did any scrap pages that I'm really out of practice and I've got so many gorgeous photos to use too. So easy to fall into the trap of being overwhelmed by it all so today I've made a start and intend to do more as the week goes on.
To create this page about my grandson, Alexander, I used Serif Craft Artist and a really bright digi kit from my collection. My plan for the page came from Sketches in Thyme where the new challenge involves using this fabulous sketch by Bev Code.
Thank you Bev it was a cool sketch to work with.
