I will stare at a stamp set for what seems like an eternity and try to think up color combos and sketch ideas. I grab the nearest legal pad or really anything I can find.... and I scribble! Nine times out of ten, I will wonder, "Now, where did I put that scribble on the back of that junk mail?" Seriously, it's that bad.
So, I decided today, wouldn't it be fun to have a funky little box to put my sketches in? Instead of a legal pad (or worse yet, junk mail) I would buy some index cards and when I was done, I would put them in the little box. I went searching for the box (I envisioned a recipe type box) but, found THIS instead! This fun little wooden basket! It was only $2.99!
As you can see, I grabbed some patterned paper and embellishments that all match my stamp room. I think, in the end, whatever I come up with will sit on my desk. Need a little creative inspiration- dig in the box!
Now, if only I knew where those index cards were....
Well, it's Friday night and I promised the kiddos I would take them for a little ice cream! YUM!
Enjoy your weekend!

Sounds like you are getting yourself organized .. I keep starting but keep finding something else to distract me.
Good idea though. I have all the idea sheets, templates etc, in little folders and a pad of paper beside me all the time to map out a card.
This is an A+ idea seriously! I cant wait to see your little "kit" all finished! Have a great weekend!
