Note To Self | New Stamps + Stuff From My Stash

I had a request to show some of the new Story Play stamp sets in use so I decided to create a page that captures a couple notes to myself and includes stamping and some other items from my stash.

I love starting from my stash! There are always items I have on my work table that I love and are simply waiting for me to grab them and put them to use in a project. Today's project includes items released with December Daily® and plastic ampersands from the Q+A Storyteller Kit.

Here's a look at how today's project came together:

Here are some images of my project:

Finished off this set of plastic frames with this project. One of the things I love most about these frames is that they create a grid foundation and easy homes for my words, photos, and embellishments.

I started off by using washi tape to temporarily connect the frames before running them through my sewing machine to connect them together.

I picked one of the "Note To Self" stamps and added to the cardstock background.

I found the three ampersands from the Q+A Storyteller Kit and ran them through the sewing machine to adhere them to the background cardstock.

I printed three photos and a couple word art pieces at 2 inch x 2 inch and then adhered them behind the plastic frames. I stamped the title and then stamped a secondary title and number on each of my journaling squares using the new Story Play Stamp sets.

Here's just a quick sample of the three stamp sets (available as a bundle of individually). We will have more ideas for these sets coming later this year. Something I love about these specific sets is how little some of the stamps are - especially that tiny 2026 I added to the title in my project. So fun!

This class is for you if:

• You struggle with product overwhelm + don't know how to start dealing with all the fun things you've collected (or aren't happy with your current organizing methods).

• You'd like to do some organizing alongside a community of like-minded storytellers with a story > stash mentality.

• You'd like to see how Ali organizes + stores her products to make them more accessible in order to support her stories.

• You are curious about the idea of "being the boss of your stuff" and how that might change the way you view your supplies.

• You'd like some fresh inspiration for using what you already have vs. buying something new.
