Scrap Space

I love to look at other peoples scrap space!! I love new idea's for storage and convenience!! I really like to having everything in it's place, so when I'm looking for it, I know exactly where to find it!!

Since we did a house shuffle in July, I got a scrap studio!! DD is quite artistic, so we share the space. She has one side of the room, and I have the other!! DH built us a fabulous working area. It is 4'x 6' long. I love having my space to organize and create!!

I have decided that I love the photo boxes that you can by at HL every now and then 3 for $5. They are great for easy storage...and they are less expensive than real 'scrap' storage. Plus they stack super nice!! In my dream world they would all match, but my mom and my sister both have given me some and since they were free, I'm not complaining. (I guess I could always just paint the printed ones.) I also have quite a few plastic shoe boxes that I got at the dollar store. They stack very nice as well.

At the end of the table are 4 drawers. In the top one I have brads. I sort of had a thing for them and have tons now. To store all my brads, besides the very full drawer, I also have 2 close to my heart organizers that are the bomb!! LOVE them!! I use them for the smaller, plain brads.

In the next drawer down, I have chipboard. Printed, plain, naked...chipboard!!

The next drawer is full of chipboard letters...but not thickers. They have there own space in a large plastic box under the table where I can get them without getting up...yes, I'm lazy!!

The bottom drawer has stickers in it. I don't use a lot of stickers, but every once in a while they're are the perfect embellishment!!

I also have an album cabinate. I love it, but already need another one!! I just love to scrap, what else can I say!!

This is where I keep most embellishements!! Rub-ons (which a really don't like or even use), bling, journaling notes, alphabet letters, 3-d embellies, pens, ect. Also some of my adhesive is kept here.

I have a thing for paper. Anyone else have this issue?? I love all the great prints and textures that they have out these days!! I have some storage for my special papers, or ones I have plans to use right away right beside me under the table. This where I keep paper collections and the embellies that match in drawers here too. I also have a drawer just for my scraps in this. I keep my CM shape cutters in one of these drawers as well. I also have paper storage in the closet on fabulous big shelves that DH built me.

I suppose I could keep going with what is where and such, but that could take a while, so I will just say that I love my space, even though it's not a grand as some of seen, and I...we, spend all our time in here. It has become our new family room!! I love that I can be with my family and be creative all at the same time!!

Thanks for stopping by!! If you have questions, please feel free to ask!! Have a GREAT weekend!!
