Welcome to the July Stamp of the Month tour and the awesome, trendy stamp set Chalk Talk – and the coordinating framelits!  I used elements of this set to create some fun labels for my stamp room.

I have a handful of re-purposed candle jars that I use for keeping odds and ends.  They’re frosted, so sometimes it’s hard to see what I’ve stashed inside.  These Chalk Talk images were perfect for making my own Designer labels!

The new In Color Stretchy ribbon makes beautiful curves!  I really like the combination of Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar…matter of fact, I’ve yet to come up with a combination of ANYTHING and Baked Brown Sugar that I don’t like!

Three chubby jars, happy together on my shelf!

These labels are for my UG-LEE file cabinet.  I have been researching how to renovate old office cabinets, but I haven’t found a method I feel confident to attempt.  I’ll take your suggestions!!

It really is ugly…I want to refinish it with paint and give it a shabby chic look.  But I’ve got my labels all ready!

For the record, that is NOT Retired DSP – I used genuine Old Book pages for those rosettes 🙂  And the old book I used was literally falling apart at the seams, so I don’t feel badly about re-purposing the pages.  The Bigz XL Rosette die makes short work of all the scoring and folding.

Next stop is the Trinity Design Studio – I know Robin has a treat in store for  you!  And if you want to navigate the tour to the beat of a different drummer, the participants are listed below.
