Sweet Pea Index Booklet

Today I want to show you a little booklet I made to keep track of which Sweet Pea stamps I have. I keep my rubber in a zip-lock bag and it's hard to see which stamp is which and how it looks stamped. To avoid this problem I have stamped all stamps I have on slightly heavier paper than I normally use. Then I used a nestie shape to cut them all out and made a hole in every corner to fit a ring.

I also cut out a bit of heavy cardboard (like the one on the back of a notepad) to make a front. I then painted the back with white and pink paint and glued on a piece of  pretty paper on the front.  Finally I cut out letters, added a flower and added some dimensional glaze on the green/yellow bird in the top left corner.

 

On the back of each image I have written the name of the stamp and which plate it belongs to. Then I sorted them chronologically with the oldest sheet in the back and newest in the front.

 

This project is fabulous to bring on a vacation or if you just feel like colouring but don't want to make any cards. I always colour my images to match patterned paper so it's hard to bring images to colour on vacations (unless I want to bring tiny pieces of  patterned paper as well, which makes it too big of a hassle)

I hope you've enjoyed this project and gotten some ideas of how you can store and view your Sweet Pea stamps!
