A Thank You from My Present Self to My Past Self

 

I needed to make an autumnal coffee card, so I pulled out one of my all-time favorite Catherine Pooler stamp sets. 

And guess what? When I looked in the sleeve where it is stored, I found all kinds of pre-stamped images, ready to use.

Thank you, past self! You saved me the time and trouble of having to choose ink colors and die cut all off those little images.

I need to remember to do this more often. As long as I'm on a roll, cutting and stamping, it really makes sense to make some extras while it is all out.

I also had a pre-stamped background in a pile, ready to use. And some pre-cut banner dies, ready to add a sentiment.

I added the "pumpkin spice" sentiment from Hello Bluebird, some ink splattering, a few sequins. Done!

And while I was adding that sentiment, I stamped and cut a few more to have on hand. After all, pumpkin spice season is just around the corner!
