I am brilliant!

OK, so not really. (snort!)  I just had a momentary flash of pure EINSTEIN!!!!  So, humor me, eh?!

I'm a die-hard wood-mount fan.  No matter how many different ways and times I have tried in my 13 years of stampin' to embrace the UM concept, I still no likey.  Does it mean I refuse to buy or use UMs?  No.  It means, that, given a preference, I buy and use WM stamps over UMs because *for me*,  they are more convenient.  I find UMs very frequently all too time-consuming.  Doesn't mean they're "bad".  It means I simply like wood waaaaaay m'oh bettah.  That's it, end of story on the WM vs. UM debate--which, IMHO, shouldn't even be a debate because, for cryin' out loud, it's about personal preference and what works best for the stamper herself.

Now, back to the momentary flash of Einstein, for which I am seriously thinkin' somebody--anybody-- should be handin' me a trophy (OK, I'd take chocolate over a trophy, chortle!):

Storage and organization, as far as ease and convenience, has always been one of the teeth-gnashing draw-backs for me in regards to clear stamps/rubbah UMs, and, therefore, why I tend to avoid using them.  But, WaterPixie had sent me this waaaaaay cool box for storing greeting cards, which she found at Target.  I was unable to find them at the sucky Target an hour away from me. (insert frowny face).  Pixie to the rescue!!!  {{{{{{{Pixie}}}}}}}

I know what you're thinking:  Good GAWD, woman!!!  Shut the Hades up and show us the goods!!!!!!!!

OK! Alright already!!!! (cackle!)



And, you can get it in bigger/longer sizes, too!  You can check 'em all out at:  Cropper Hopper

What a terrific idea! I have one of these boxes and it was getting so full of class samples that I was going to relegate it to the closet. Now I don't Thanks.

Fabulous idea (thanks for sharing!) I love my wood mounted stamps but have a box of unmounteds too - I'm going to Target!

I use old CD cases that my DD and her boyfriend toss, once they organize their CDs.
I stamp all the images onto a piece of paper, then store that in the CD as well.

LOVE tho how you use the box to store yours!
