No...not on a hot date... well I was hot as my studio has no air conditioning. lol
I spent all Friday night and sometime Saturday as well trying to find a place for the assorted scrap and stamp crap we all accumulate: punches, embossing powder, assorted tools etc.
I came across a scrap room on two peas in a bucket where some fantastically clever pea had simply lined the front of her Steralite storage drawers to match her room. WOW what a huge difference this simple touch makes in terms of how they look in a space.
I didn't have to glue the paper in place- there is a little lip on the inside that holds the paper perfectly in place so if i get bored with them I can switch out the paper!
Now the these labels I did spend time on- and they took forever, but I am happy with the way they came out so it was worth it. I don't like my handwriting and I wanted a bolder look than handwriting could provide. So I dug through my rub-on basket and discovered that I had 2 practically full American Crafts Rub-ons (well its actually not surprising that they were practically new or that I had managed to buy two of them). The frame is a Sassafras Lass stamp that I hand cut out. The ink is one of my favorites- Burnt Sienna Palette ink.
Oh the carts themselves I found at Target and were like $15 on sale.
Even my usually non observant husband came in and immediately complimented the way they looked so I guess I did ok :) I still need to figure out what I'm going to put in the last few drawers but I sure I'll come up with something!
