Monday Organization - Why green dots?

A viewer of my blog asks the question, "Why do you have green dots on your stamp set boxes?"

The reason I use green dots on the stamp set boxes is to keep myself organized. When I receive a new set it gets a green dot.  When the stamp set retires it gets a yellow or red dot. I am getting low on yellow dots so I have started using red.  In the event that a retired set does not back it back to its proper home and ends up on the shelf with the active sets I can easily tell which is which.  I don't like to use retired sets for my Cardio Classes because if it is retired I can't sell it.

By the way, the dots are simply yard sale stickers.  You could easily make your own with DSP and run them through a Xyron machine.

Happy Stamping!

Friday Swap Project - NAC Swap Card

Thought I would take the time to show you projects that I have been working on.  So, on Fridays I will have a new theme, Friday Swap Project.  Some of the projects are from the past but most will be fairly current.  I really enjoy making swaps because I like the challenge of creating something new and I like getting nice fat packages in the mail!

This card was created for the NAC Swap over on the demo side of Splitcoaststampers.  Some of us demos that were not able to attend the Stampin Up! Convention this year signed up to swap card fronts.

Stamp Set: Kind Thoughts

Ink: Ruby Red, Basic Brown

Happy Stamping!
