I'd like to say that I, of course, use all the supplies and tools I purchase . . . I'd like to say that, but I can't in all honesty! So, I pulled out a set I purchased at a Stampin' Up meet-up several years ago. As you can see, I hadn't even put the sticker backings on the rubber stamps! (Although I think I used the telephone stamp one time a while back.)
I pulled a 5x7 photo from our recent visit to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Museum and was able to gather my supplies fairly quickly - a background patterned paper with books and some patriotic papers and embellishments.
I used the telephone stamp in the bottom right corner and the "Hello there!" stamp on the label in the top left (it doesn't show up very well in the photo).
I also used another "pristine" stamp in the top right embellishment cluster. It's very subtle - a camera from the Shimelle collection.
D you have any pristine stamps in your collection?
Oh I love that page - you've definitely given it a very presidential feeling. Well done. Hubby and I must put that place on our list to visit.
ReplyDeleteAnd using pristine stamp sets is a goal of mine too lately. In fact I finished up a set of Stampin Up cards using two different sets yesterday. I keep my sets separate in a "new" supplies box until I use them. And no, those were not the last 2 sets in the box, but I am making progress.
Yes I do, although as I'm not much of a stamper mine aren't ones I have bought individually, but ones which have come with monthly kits.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have conjured up a wonderful atmosphere on that page
That is a fun page and photo.
ReplyDeleteI found a pristine yesterday in my 'in box' that someone had sent me. Otherwise there are some in sets I've not used, but no sets that haven't been used at least once I think. One of the purges I did before moving included going through all stamp sets.
The perfect layout to commemorate your visit to the Presidential library! Love that photo of you and Robbie. I think there are a few "pristine" stamps in my collection, but not too many.
