Five Things Chatty Game
« on: February 21, 2015, 12:48:41 PM »
Here's the idea, each day I'll post a new question/ topic and you post 5 things that answer the question/ fit in the topic. If you miss a day, feel free to go back and post your responses.  I'll put each topic in this starting post and I'll add a new post with the new topic and my list.   Clear as mud, right? Don't worry, I'll post my list for the first topic/question and that should make it clear.

Saturday 2/21 - 5 things you have to have out on your craft desk/table or within arms reach when sit down to start crafting

Sunday 2/22 - what are your 5 favorite stamp companies - can be ones you own stamps from or ones you are drooling over

Monday 2/23 - 5 items in your crafting toolbox that are not items you would get at a craft store (not stuff you are planning to recycle/ upcycle onto a project - that just might be later this week  ???

Tuesday 2/24 - 5 things you would like to get/ do to / change about your craft space

Wednesday 2/25 - what are your 5 favorite techniques?

Thursday 2/26 - what are your 5 favorite tools?

Friday 2/27 - what are 5 things on your wish list?

Saturday 2/28 - what are 5 techniques you are dying to try (preferably one's you've never done before)?

Sunday 3/1 - In honor of the last day of WF15 - your 5 favorite things about Winterfest.

Saturday 2/21 - 5 things you have to have out on your craft desk/table or within arms reach when sit down to start crafting

1) my non-stick craft sheet so I don't stain my desk
2) a shallow dish with water for cleaning my stamps as I go
3) a roll of paper towels - I'm a messy girl
4) my paper trimmer
5) cup of water/ small water mister - for cleaning ink off the craft sheet, cleaning brushes and playing with watercoloring

Your turn.

Ooo! Fun!

1. craft mat
2. heat gun
3. MS small scissors
4.a. large Fiskars paper trimmer
4.b. small Tonic paper trimmer   :coolsmiley:
5. stamp cleaner dauber bottle


I am going to try that tray of water Sarah---when doing my sample challenge piece, I would just spray the stamp with water and wipe with an old sock and that seem perfectly fine (made me think that maybe I need to Re-think about using stamp cleaner....

LeighAnn what is a "white girl pen"?

Melissa - I almost never use stamp cleaner.  I just put a drop of dish soap in the dish with water, and I have one of those stamp scrubber pad sitting on a paper towel next to the dish of water.  It works great for cleaning stamps and I go.

I only use stamp cleaner when I can't get Stazon ink off the stamp.

5 things always on my desk

1.  Extra large pad of newsprint that covers almost the entire desk.  I rip off the top sheet as it gets messed up.
2.  I also have the AMM spinning tool caddy with plenty of scissors, adhesives, bone folder and stamp positioner
3.  New addition - Basic Grey self healing mat with magnetic ruler (I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with my trimmer, so I'm trying the ruler and craft knife route)
4.  Tiny little rabbit stamp.  It is red rubber mounted on foam with a sticker index (pic of the stamp).  I use it as my "Hallmark" on the back of cards.
5.  spray mister, actually, today I found 3 on my desk!???  I think I can pare down!

Here your next five things:

What are your 5 favorite stamp companies - the list can be ones you own stamps from or ones you wished you owned stamps from.

My list:
1) Kraftin Kimmie - love the Moonlight Whispers line
2) Inkadinkado - of all my many stamps I think I own the most by them
3) Lilly of the Valley - a new favorite
4) Stampendous - they own House Mouse and friends now
5) Hero Arts

5 Favorite Stamp Companies (probably not in order):

1) Hero Arts
2) Gina K
3) Stampendous
4) I Brake for Stamps
5) Northwoods for their designs.

LeighAnn, I just checked out the W plus 9 and they have a nice variety! I love the set with the little girl and the kittens and the little elephants.  They even have some nice flowers!

Ahhhh! Can't believe I forgot Northwoods. I only own 3 of their images but would love more.

And I love inkadinkado but haven't been too impressed with their latest. I own quite a few sets of their stamps, most I purchased when I first got into stamping. Those stamps I still use a ton too.

Sarah, I love house mouse too. I got quite a few of them for super cheap when hobby lobby clearanced out last year. They're so cute. Sometimes I get intimidated coloring them.

Heidi, I ordered a winter theme set, and a couple of the floral ones. I've played a bit with them and I really like them. Great quality and she has a lot of helpful videos too.
