I have a couple of master files with all the images stamped and a labelled according to box number. This means that on a sheet of paper I'll stamp all the images from one set in one colour and indicate which box they are stored in. I have a copy of the master sheet in each box. I have some boxes for just one company, while other boxes have multiple companies. I think I've inked up every stamp at least once! <br /><br />I'd like to try and reorganise my stamps over the course of the year. Thanks for the challenge.Deborah Fringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511166285276270838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248414365409982371.post-48630655320359683472013-01-13T09:48:50.359-08:002013-01-13T09:48:50.359-08:00I have too many stamps that have never been used.....I have too many stamps that have never been used...and can't wait to be inspired to actually ink them up!!<br />I probably have as many individual stamps.....as stamp setsscrappyjackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761068895383717904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248414365409982371.post-5747386249344406292013-01-11T10:03:11.125-08:002013-01-11T10:03:11.125-08:00Oh my...I know I don't have that many sets. I...Oh my...I know I don't have that many sets. If I had to hazzard a guess, I'm around the 40 set mark. . .though now I'm curious and heading to count them; I have 43 sets - that includes a couple "sets" that are just one stamp. The majority of them are acrylic. I had a big purge of them when I reorganized my studio last year. My goal with taking the class is more to simply USE them. I don't always think to grab them. So my goal is to use . . . and any at the end of the year still clean of ink stains will get given away.<br /><br />Thanks for the challenge.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243620301967776836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248414365409982371.post-234959618719819682013-01-11T07:51:39.562-08:002013-01-11T07:51:39.562-08:00I have about 180 stamp sets, but I also have a lot...I have about 180 stamp sets, but I also have a lot singles and haven't counted the wood mounted ones. <br />I have all my stamps stamped in a file, with the details about it, price, etc by theme. So if I need a stamp on a certain theme, I can just go have a look in this file, much easier. And I don't have to count the physical stamps, I exactly know that I have 160 stamp sets, as I also have them stamped by set, and in the file only put down the number of the set, so I don't have to write down the info for each stamp from that particular set. I also own a lot osfsets from the DT's I'm on, Katzelkraft and Magenta! <br />I think I own an afwul lot of stamps, I started selling some of it, the ones I don't use, and won't be using in the future (I think).

I can't find anything and that is extremely frustrating.<br /><br />My mantra now is: NO MORE ART SUPPLIES! (we will see how long that lasts!)

I am on a few design teams and most often I end up working with digi's. This is a great way to make myself put them to use or donate them, thanks. The organization is an added bonus. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533188249303903219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248414365409982371.post-53104995460507219502013-01-06T17:27:14.514-08:002013-01-06T17:27:14.514-08:00New Rule: No husband allowed.

My sister did give me a couple of bags of rubber stamps which I've never used and a friend at a garage sale bought me a bunch of rubber stamps. So I'll make it my goal to use those stamps in projects. As well as any stamps I might find hidden in boxes marked crafting supplies from several moves ago. I already use my clear stamps a lot.<br /><br />I won't tell your DH. LOL! A girl has to have at least one vice and stamps is a lot healthier than some of the others.Myoriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590562238059306726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248414365409982371.post-12481606772062113282013-01-06T13:49:45.302-08:002013-01-06T13:49:45.302-08:00Thanks this sounds great!
