Default Are some of your stamps getting dusty?

I have a love for too many stamp companies. Therefore, I buy a little from everyone. I just can't keep up with all that I have. SCS's blogs are part of my problem. They have such a plethora of ideas and beautiful work. I am always buying new stamps. How can one use all of their goodies? So, I made a list of all my different stamp companies and decided to use certain companies on a certain day. For example:

Monday: Stamping Bella
Tuesday: Stamping Up
Wednesday: PaperTrey Ink
Thursday: My Favorite Things

I can deviate from this list of course. But this helps me to ensure that ALL of my stamps are getting inked. There is no reason for our stamps to get dusty?

Since I'm not sure if I'll have time to stamp daily I lay out an old stamp on my table. When I have time that's the stamp that I need to create with!

I do not get to stamp daily either, but having this guideline helps me find a starting point. I wish I could stamp everyday.

All of mine have been quite dusty lately, but I'm starting to feel a bit of an itch to start playing again

I totally know what you mean! I used to be a strict SU stamper only. Then I ventured out and my craft room is overflowing with tons of other companies, including Stamping Bella, Rubbernecker, My Favorite Things, CTMH, Papertrey Ink and House Mouse. My DH always jokes with me by saying that I am not allowed any more space for my crafts. He also says that the floor will fall in soon or that the house tips to one side side my craft room is on the end of the house. Oh well!!

I have over 100 SU sets, not counting all my wheels, and I find that I am not using them as much as the others. I am currently OBSESSED with Papertrey Ink. My favorite day of the month is the 15th when they have their new releases. I have been thinking about sorting through all my SU stamps and ebaying some of them. Besides, then I will have more cash to spend on PTI.

The only reason that my SU stamps get inked is because I grant tons of wishes for SU stamps through Wish RAK. My other problem is that I have been using my wish RAK images to create cards instead of SU stamps.

So I guess I am addicted, just like everyone else here!!!

That a fun idea! I don't usually get to stamp everyday, so that wouldn't work for me. I usually find myself pulling from stamps depending on what season it is.

I am glad that I am not the only one who has ventured away from SU a little.
I still love them. I just love others too.

I have so many stamps that I haven't inked yet. And my SU demo was selling off hundreds of old sets last night for $5 each and I bought 8 more. Yikes! I'm also trying to dig out some of my unused stamps and try them. I recently became a Card Angel, so I need to create cards all the time. I don't want to send my buddy duplicats; so it's off to the old stamps. I have so many different companies that I can't do what the OP suggested, but it's a great idea.
