My new year's resolution is to get all my wood mounted stamps onto cling foam backing to condense my storage space for them and make them easier to find. I love all my old SU stamps and have quite a collection. So, part of that resolution will be to spend less on new stamps when I know I own something already similar. My investments are now in cling foam rubber and DVD boxes. I have done around 20 so far, which 10-18 stamps can fit in a box, so I have dismounted probably over 200 already and have not made a huge dent yet. Each month I plan to older 10 more cling foam sheets, and try to fill the 100 DVD boxes I have. I will get those complete and then keep ordering until the project is complete. I am rediscovering some of my favorite old stamps, and look forward to using them in new ways.

Pretty card combining the two challenges, Liz. Great stencil to go with your blossoms. The layout reminds me of last week's SC.....which was a terrific one.

I like this card very much too and realize it is that color combination you used that really pleases me. Congrats to you for taking on the job of putting your wood stamps on cling foam. You are ambitious. I really need to do something in my craft room, but so far it is just being able to squeeze out another card. :>)

What a cool plan, Liz, and a great way to find ways to use old stamps in a new way. As for this card, you know I love it--it's my favorite color! And that is one of my favorite stencil patterns. Fab card!

I smile because we have the same resolution and goal for this year - I too order cling foam 10 sheets at a time to unmount the (dare I say) thousands of stamps I now own!
I like the "on the slant" approach you took with this card! I don't know why I rarely use orange on my cards - it is really attractive!

Beautiful Liz, I too love the colours. I did my wood stamps a couple of years ago, and am so glad I did. They used to be in a box and never looked at, now they are easy to find. Good luck! Thank you for joining in with my CAS challenge today.
