I wanted to see if anyone ever did it like I did and came across your blog & storage ideas. BOY, am I IMPRESSED (-: ! I thought I was the only one who organized my stamps like you do . However, you do it even more thoroughly than I ever thought about (-; ! I absolutely love your methods! You are quite an inspiration (-: !<br /><br />I also wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your deep love of God and how you really incorporate Him in all you do. I try so hard to do that, and reading all that you do in that area is very uplifting! I really love your ideas, like in the hymn scripture study. What a terrific idea! Biblical AND creative at the same time - Genius (-; !<br /><br />I will certainly subscribe to your blog after reading all of the wonderful things you suggest here. Your web site is like balm on a wound after reading all of the terrible things I see on the Internet (just from opening my homepage )-: ). I have been looking for more positive, Godly web sites, and yours is right up that alley (-: . I'm afraid to make it my homepage, though, b/c I don't think I'll ever get off of it to do whatever it is I need to do; I could stay here looking around all day (-; .<br /><br />God bless you for wonderful work, words, & Godliness. I, like the rest of the world, really need it (-: !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436098298604946160.post-30870510568901553712011-04-29T13:39:22.207-04:002011-04-29T13:39:22.207-04:00Hi Patter!

My blog is www.joyfullymadedesigns.blogspot.com. Thanks so much for the idea! I just noticed that your rolodex has sleves, mine doesn't. Plus mine isn't a pretty color! I may have to buy a new one...hopefully the same cards I made will fit in it!

That would be a pain for me. It doesn't mean it wouldn't work for you but I prefer to just stamp on the front of the cards.

If you don’t care about color, the black or white 3 ring binders are on sale for $1.02 each!!! They are on close-out so I don’t think they will get black or white in anymore—just the clear that I use. You can see the sale binders here:<br /> <br />http://www.univenture.com/shop/0.75_3_ring_A5_binder.php<br /><br />Let me know if you have more questions.

Does the rolodex hold more cards than I think it would, do you have more than one Rolodex, or do you not have a many stamps as I would assume? I want to do this but hesitate to start because I don't want to get halfway there and find out I need multiple rolodexes.

Right now, I have a large binder with 8.5x11 page protectors. I either stamp onto the page, or like with SU sets, I cut the actual pics out of an old SU catalog. It's nice to see the actual size of stamps. I have the binder divided by companies. Do you have stamp sets or just singles...did you make a rolodex card for each image?

I'm working hard to get everything organized in my craft area, and I totally love your tips. I've seen the Rolodex idea for making a stamp index, but I thought I would prefer to have it on the computer. I was relieved to read that you find your Excel file takes a bit too long to find what you need - I have the same dilemma. I love your Rolodex index and I've decided to take the plunge. I'm already using the pink Rolodex for my card sketches, so I will have to get a different color for my stamps. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081124001280973606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436098298604946160.post-46656467226072279402010-03-24T09:28:34.762-04:002010-03-24T09:28:34.762-04:00Thanks everyone for your sweet words.
