How do your store yours? ............ share with us how you store your Sugar Nellie and Magnolia stamps

Recently, I have to admit, I have purchased quite a few more Sugar Nellie and Magnolia Stamps, aided and abetted by my Daughter, who just loves each and every image!





Over the last couple of years, I had to think, and re-think just how I store them. I started off with CD/calendar cases (and still have a large collection of unmounted stamps stored like that), then when I got into Magnolia and Sugar Nellie, I started with a CD binder.............it really didn't take me too long to grow out of that solution though.



The best that I've managed to come up with now is some in the original, and by now over-stuffed CD binder and the rest on stored on book rings.



I laminate the image (if it comes with one, or if not I stamp out the image), then stick the stamp to the reverse, place it in a baggie and hang it on the book ring, in turn the book rings are hanging up next to my desk on the rack system I have.

That's as far as it goes at the moment, but clearly I'm going to have to address the indexing of them very shortly as the numbers increase on an almost weekly basis.

Stampers are notoriously inventive and it would be great if you could all share how you store your un-mounteds'. If you're not a Member of UK STampers then please leave us a link in the comments. {Members, don't forget to add a label with your username}.

I can't wait to see what ideas are out there.

Time to spread a little love................

spring is in the air..........so what better than to spread a little love! Just a tiny game to celebrate (in a small way) our 2nd year of the forum.

Between 1st January and 10th May 2008, take a guess at just how many bogus registrations's we've received - from some very dogdy places and dubious services - it would make you blush if you traced some of them back I can tell you.

How to take part:

Post a comment on this thread with your guestimate of the amount we've had. Don't forget to include your username in the comment if you are a member.

At the end of the period, the person that's right on the button, or if not guessed, the nearest to the number will get a little something from us.

Have fun.

Sugar Nellie Challenge #3 - The colour orange

Nice easy one this week - it's anything with a Sugar Nellie stamp and using the colour orange somewhere on the project.

Hopefully, this is broad enough for quite a few people to play.

Sorry about how dark and horrid my image looks - typical, I left it 'til it got dark to take a photo. Honestly, it looks wayyyy better in real life.

50 points for use your stash, and also some Zoomz for the winner.

Just upload as a Member or send paste a link to the project.

Closes next Sunday.

Sugar Nellie - Challenge #2 - DAWG GONE IT

You've still got until Midnight to submit any entries for last week's challenge, but I thought I would post this week's one as I have a few spare minutes.


It's dawg gone simple..........you just need to submit a project using the wee Dawg.



Here's mine:

A big welcome to Hannah Haselden, who's kindly agreed to help out with these challenges. This is her entry:

Tomorrow, we'll decide who gets the Zoomz, so watch out for the announcement.

Last week I forgot to mention that there are also Use You Stash points to be had. Each challenge under this will yet you 50 points.

If you are not a Member of UK STampers (why not?).....you can send us a jpeg and we will upload it to the blog for you. Better still, join and you will be able to upload it yourself.

Looking forward to seeing the creations - thanks for playing.

Galaxy Girl, Admin

Sugar Nellie - Challenge #1

So many of us now have a growing collection of the wonderful Sugar Nellie stamps, that we thought it would be fun to post regular challenges featuring the stamps.



All you need to do is post a link, showcasing a project using at least 1 Sugar Nellie Stamp (from any of their ranges). If you haven't got a blog, email us with a jpeg image, and we will upload it for you.



This challenge is open to anybody, not just Members of UK Stampers'. Don't forget if you are a Member to include your label if you upload to the blog. If you're not a Member, why not....we would love to welcome you to our forum.

So this is the first one: CHECK IT OUT!

We want to see something that features checks in any size or colour.



Challenge closes on Sunday, 3rd February 2007, when we will pick our favourite entry, and send them some Zoomz as a prize.
