{ooh, la la organizing!}

We are all well into the new year now but Stampington.com reminds us that you can still make getting organized an artful resolution! Their Shoppe Manager Vanessa Spencer has created an inspiring file folder project that features their new Cavallini & Co. file folders and postcards. Getting organized doesn’t have to be boring.

Stampington's Project of the Month is a Gypsy Style Travel Case by Vanessa Spencer

Transform a basic travel case into a shabby chic accessory with our Project of the Month. Stampington's Shoppe Manager Vanessa Spencer used bits of vintage music paper, luxurious ribbon and stylish rub-ons to take this case from drab to fab. Whether you carry it with style or use it as studio storage, this stunning travel case is sure to get attention! Click here to take a closer look, and to learn how to create your own.

I just love the Stampington website as they offer all sorts of free downloads, demonstrations, and really keen projects. Visit them and enjoy!
