Today I'm going to share an obsession... I've alluded to it in the past and you've seen the results of my obsession. Today I'm putting it all out there - my addiction to Martha Stewart punches! I'm buying the entire Martha Stewart punch collection one 40% off coupon at a time!
For a long time I have wanted to catalog them somehow so I could have a reference while I'm making a project. Today I decided to finally do it. First I got out all of my punches and laid them out on my extra table. Oy. Don't make fun of me...
Then I cut strips of black paper into 5.5" x 2" and punched out all the edge punches. This way I can see what I have at a glance without having to dig through the punch drawer. It was kind of fun to see them all at once and remember what's in there.
Then I put each of the strips onto white paper...and voila! Here is the end result! I think I will try to find some plastic covers to put the sheets in. I think this will help me use them all instead of just choosing my favorites all the time.
What do you think? Do you have a craft obsession? Are you willing to admit it? Thanks for sharing this with me today. Have a good one!
the key is to keep up the cataloging as you get new. punches are prolly easier than actual stamps... I tried that once. I started... and have now failed. LOL
I have a craft obsession... for sure!!
