  • Julie – Merry Merry Celebratory Christmas – I look forward to seeing what the new year brings on your blog. Have been using some of the 30 techniques as I create gift tags and book covers for gifts…FUN! Also, I decided to go with 8 acrylic pages to hold my cling stamps….just a punched hole with a ring to hold them together and a stamped page showing the designs between each page. the stamps cling really well and it is easy to use. Thanks for your suggestions! PS might try paper tube people with grandchildren this weekend after the gifts are opened. Jan from Oregon
