Hi. Glad you could join me on your inspiration tour. Today, I have this simple card paying homage to AJ OTTO, a women who loves to create with KRAFT. I'm finding I LOVE it too. Here's my creation. I used the Flower image from the March KOM and the Butterfly image from the April KOM. Super simple card with copic coloring, a little SMOOCHING and dew drops.
Super simple. Now HOP ON OVER to the super fabby Lindsay. She ROCKS!

Happy Friday.
You may be joining me today from my Unity DT friend, Patter Cross.
I LOVE Patter. She hosts an Organizational Friday each week on her site.
She has a lot of super fabby ideas. I go there every Friday to check them out.
This week, she's covering stamp storage.
Now Patter and I have had many a chat on finding the right stamp storage. We are both using a binder system now for unmounted. Here are some pics of mine. If you have questions, let me know.
Just one of the 18 binders I have. This one is for Unity Stamp Company. I break my sets up by topic or theme. Here is one of the binder boxes and my stamp index binder.
Binder box opened.
I get four sheets of unmounted stamps inside. GINA K. has some great binder sheets.
Stamp index binder, tabbed by topic.
Stamped image that is on each binder sheet. Organized by how it appears in the binder box.
Love this system. It's taken years to find something I'm happy with.
Hope this helps you on your journey towards organization. LOL! It's a process.
Go HERE for more organizational tips and a PEEK into my office/studio.
It's Unity Challenge Wednesday.
This week is special, near and dear to my heart. A time to reflect on the people in our lives that have gone before us. A time to lift up a friend.
Dear Sherry's mother passed over the weekend, and the Unity girls decided to let her know just how much we are thinking about her and her family.
This is for you Sherry. And, it's on it's way to you. Love ya, chica. When my mom passed away, I struggled in the time and space of the days that followed. There was this tree on my parents property, near the dock, overlooking the lake. I sat underneath the tree, cried and talked to her, trying desperately to reach out for her. And, under that tree, I found comfort. I found some hope.
Find your tree Sherry and the whispers in the wind will speak to you.
Love ya.
