A Pinterest Win

Pinterest ---- what a wonderful invention. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!  You set up your boards, you pin things and and then if you are like a lot of people, you hope you get the chance to actually try the item you pinned.  If you ever wonder how some of those items turn out -- go check out the blog:  Pinstrosity -- it's a hoot!

But I had a PIN WIN!  When I saw this, I just KNEW I had to do it and do it up I did.  

On my Feelin' Crafty board, I pinned this:

Here's my pin if you want to visit it:  My Quick Tip Tuesday Pin

For my stamping, 95% of the inks I use are Close To My Heart (CTMH).  I've tried other sponges, but I love the ones from CTMH and already was in the habit of cutting the round/circle sponge into eights.  But I struggled with keeping track of which sponge I had used for which ink.  How couldn't I?  There was no way to mark the sponge nor store it with the ink. 

UNTIL I SAW THIS PIN!!! I just had to try and and it worked like a charm!  Binder clips, mailing labels (which I cut to fit on the binder clips) and then CTMH sponges.

Here's one example .......

Now a sponge for every stamp pad!!

And stored so nice and neat in a drawer in my craft room.

Because I'm fussy and couldn't stand a jumble of these in the drawer, I put about 6 on a skewer then had to figure a way to keep the skewer stable.  I made a triangle out of paper stock fit and punched a half circle on the card stock in which the skewer lays (or is it lies).  Anyhow, it totally works for my organized brain.

It's easy for me to search for the color/sponge I need, slide it out and ink up my cards, scrapbook pages and other crafty endeavors.

A PIN WIN!  yeah me! - Denise
