But this fact didn't stop me from </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">trying to draw what I saw in my head. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few weeks ago, I went to a "Favorite Things <br />
Party" hosted by Jen del Muro. Jen is </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">one of my very favorite card designers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She had this super cute banner hanging and it </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">caught my eye. Of course I had to know how she </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">did it! (I will post pics from the party tomorrow).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She is on the design team for Lil' Inkers, and she used </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">a set from them for the banner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I looked online for the set right away, but it was sold out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was able to get on the email list for restock notification...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi Laura!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me tell you, Lil' Inker's customer service is TOP NOTCH!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, anticipating ordering/receiving the stamp and die set</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had some card designs floating around in my head. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, I'm warning you... these sketches are crude. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No judging! I hope you'll forgive me when I post the actual cards! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Vincent and I really enjoyed them. It was</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> bitter-sweet to watch the last one though!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to return the movies in something special for </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anastasia because she LOVES Harry Potter </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">something fierce!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm making another one of these boxes for </div><div style="text-align: center;">my niece, Carissa. Who in all honesty is the </div><div style="text-align: center;">absolute biggest Harry Potter fan I know!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found this paper mache box at Hobby Lobby </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and the knob.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the top/lid.

My dies are from My Favorite Things, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Cat's Pajamas, Paper Tray Ink, and, soon to be Lil' Inker. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These dies are flat steel and I use them in </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">either my Big Shot or Cuttlebug.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is how I started out storing the steel dies. The black folder </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">is from Hobby Lobby. I used magnetic sheets inside the plastic </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">folders for the stamp binder. I really liked this at first. Then, my </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">die collection grew and the folder became to heavy and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">lop-sided.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Don't ask me how many times I dropped it...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I don't want to talk about it. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBmzu9exaPT4FEgA0Y_LfemUShWDm1xD9OQyY6Sqc-vQLwDkYqo4llgEwmHt-x_MzxYrlVT-LPPqNX9DFn8sLWndfv2sasbEYCIpaPEgn_Y9ta4JajTnsKrSiu00FoLy8qpNWyTuKPJtl/s1600/die+cut+storage+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBmzu9exaPT4FEgA0Y_LfemUShWDm1xD9OQyY6Sqc-vQLwDkYqo4llgEwmHt-x_MzxYrlVT-LPPqNX9DFn8sLWndfv2sasbEYCIpaPEgn_Y9ta4JajTnsKrSiu00FoLy8qpNWyTuKPJtl/s200/die+cut+storage+004.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMdonQEnCsDETlmOeVik6oRjpDn5Z-gw7apORpXY9054TRn4L0BapT9-LoyNsXC-jZcGNrTgUPw6RcI8hrLCVbl-XfTBi6mU1lAasZoFfqoAI6H7X5dgcnfva5OqLAeeahLLmg61UwTaDX/s1600/die+cut+storage+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMdonQEnCsDETlmOeVik6oRjpDn5Z-gw7apORpXY9054TRn4L0BapT9-LoyNsXC-jZcGNrTgUPw6RcI8hrLCVbl-XfTBi6mU1lAasZoFfqoAI6H7X5dgcnfva5OqLAeeahLLmg61UwTaDX/s200/die+cut+storage+003.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So moving on...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I combined storage ideas from my friends Susan and Rita </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Hi girls! Thanks for the inspiration!). I found these bags</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> also at Hobby Lobby. I have 3... use a coupon! (They come</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> with 3 containers, I took them out to use for something </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">else.) I also grabbed another package of acrylic stamp </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">folders. I forgot to grab another roll of magnet sheets </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">though... hmm... guess I'll have to stop by HL again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SHHH, don't tell my hubby!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
