What Have I Been Working on Lately?

Or….Other Things to do While Cleaning Your Stampin’ Space

I’ve been working on transitioning my stampin’ studio from the 2016 Holiday Catalog to the 2017 Occasions Catalog. Of course I have to do some stamping along the way to keep my sanity and just have some fun.

Here are a few projects from both the Holiday Catalog (Hello December — I hope you got one the cards, accessories pack and 6″ x 8″ album) and the new Occasions Catalog.

How about a business card holder?

I thought it really necessary to get my 2016 Hello December Project Life album completed before June or July 2017.  January 2nd I developed about 75 photos and used all but three in one way or another.  Some photos gave me 3-5 2″ x 2″ images.  What a fun project.  I hope we have it again next year because it a great way to document the crazy month of December.  And I had to share 3 page pairs so you can see the versatility (and silliness) of the page layouts.

And now it’s back to eliminating some piles of ‘stuff’ and sorting my completed cards.  I’ll be taking a bunch of ‘get well’ cards to a women’s group luncheon this coming Tuesday and now is the time to get started with the sorting.  It’s too easy to get sidetracked in the process!
