The Latest Incarnation of My Scrap Room - Part 4

Welcome to the next installment of my scrap room pics! This post shows you my desk area. Our good friend Dave gave me the desk and it's PERFECT! I wanted something that could be used for both my computer and scrapping, and this one works great.

The desk is an L-shape with 2 shelves (not attached) and a keyboard drawer. The below pic shows the corner. You can see my bulletin board full of fun things, my inkpad holder (shown in more detail in my post about stamp storage), my Making Memories carousel (LOVE that!), a glass of my ever-present sweet tea, and some other misc. things.

These next few pics show the shelves.

I got the cute unit w/ the pink and green drawers from Michael's on clearance. The white thing on top is the Slice desktop storage unit.

I use these 6-section Art Bin boxes for my Cat's Eye inks, journaling blocks, Smooch, gel pens, and Sharpies.

I keep my adhesives handy in a cute white metal colander and you can see my self-healing quilting mat and my trimmers.

This pic shows how big the drawers area - I keep my Xyron X machines (one for repositionable and one for permanent) in one and my acrylic blocks in another. You can see I have double-stick tape with the blocks - rather than putting Tack-It Over on all my unmounted stamps, I just attach them to the blocks with the tape. Much easier!

A third drawer holds date stamps and embellishments - anything having to do with time.

This is a view underneath the L of the desk. Paper shredder, specific projects in the black unit (with larger things like my Scor-Pal on top). The white drawers (from Joann's) hold my bills, candy (yes, that warrants an entire drawer lol), techie stuff, and misc. stuff.

Since paper towels are a major need when crafting and making messes, I got a cheap plastic paper towel holder and attached it underneath the desk using strong Command by 3M strips. LOVE those things!

You'll see a pic later of the whole desk, but for now I hope you enjoyed looking at the things I store on and under it!

Next post is other miscellaneous storage in my room.

The Latest Incarnation of My Scrap Room - Part 3

This post is about my stamp and stamp supply storage.

The first pic is how I store my wood-mounted stamps. I don't have too many, since a lot of them I've removed from the blocks. I use plastic boxes from Joann's (which of course I can't find online now that I need to lol).

All of my stamps are cataloged in this notebook by theme, with their location listed.

This is the top drawer of my IKEA cd holder, that you saw in a previous post. It's two drawers, unfinished wood. I keep some of the cd cases holding acrylic and um stamps, my pre-inked stamps, and other misc. things in here.

The bottom drawer. CD cases holding um and acrylic stamps (not CTMH; those are all in a fabric drawer elsewhere in my room). I try to keep sets together, but there's no rhyme or reason as to which case gets which stamps since they are all organized in my catalog.

My wonderful CTMH ink tower. The pink basket on top is from Joann's last fall and holds mists. I used SU rubons to decorate - is that wrong lol? The other side, not pictured, has my color wheel velcroed to it.

This awesome unit houses non-CTMH inks, my glue pad, reinkers, texturing tools, misc. specialty pads, all silver/gold inks/pens, and swatch rings. The drawers are all sold separately, so you only get what you need. I got the cute little shelf it's on at Michael's and painted it white.
Thanks for looking! Next post is my desk.

Stamp Club Cards - February

Here are the cards we made at Violette's stamp club earlier this month. My niece got the bumblebee one for Valentine's Day. :)

The Latest Incarnation of My Scrap Room - Part 2

Next up is my Jetmax cubes from Michael's (Target and a few other stores carry these as well). They were so easy to put together and are pretty sturdy. And they hold a TON of stuff!

The first pic is an overall view. I have 8 cubes total. I would have gone higher on the stack of 3, but the darn lightswitch is there :) The ugly wood thing on the bottom is a CD case holding stamps - coming in a future post.

Two cubes are the ones with shelves, holding all my 12x12 non-themed paper, solid and patterned. The purple box on top holds pics.

This cube had two shelves (notice the paper sample inside, as if I couldn't tell what color it was lol) and two large drawers - perfect for mats, including 6x6 and 5x7!

I have three 3-drawer cubes. The dividers in this one came in the one shown below w/ the shelf and larger drawer, but they made more sense to me in a shorter drawer. I have flock, glitter, microbeads, Flower Soft, daubers, wax thread, binder rings, adhesive refills, and a couple other things in here.

This drawer holds my Staz-On inkpads, Distress Crackle Paints, Stickles, and Alcohol Inks.

Here are my chalks, pastels, colored pencils, watercolor crayons, and Pearl-Ex/Perfect Pearls.

This is the "Naked" drawer - chipboard and acrylic mostly.

My Spin Art machine (that is over a year old and never used, shame on me!) and Bead Spinner.

Paints.

This is the cube the dividers originally came in. The shelf holds two Xyrons and my Scrapcessories Cricut cart holder. The drawer has misc. tools.

The final 3-drawer cub. A drawer for new purchases that need to be filed away.

A drawer for page protectors.

Black letters. Not really sure where all these came from lol!

That's it for the Jetmax cubes. Next post will be my stamp storage. Thanks for looking!

The Latest Incarnation of My Scrap Room - Part I

I took a ton of pics of the latest re-do of my scrap room and will be doing a series of posts. The first is my Expedit from IKEA.

The first pic is an overall view of the wall and corner where my Expedit sits.

The 4 open cubes on the left are filled with my themed items, all stored in Cropper Hopper paper holders or Dollar Tree paper holders for the most part. Pretty much everything relating to a theme goes here - paper, stickers, brads, ribbon, etc. Only stamps are elsewhere.

These are almost all my alphas - stickers, buttons, chipboard, diecut, etc. They are in Craft Keeper envies by color. Black and "naked" are stored in my Jetmax cubes, coming in another post.

All my color embellishments except ribbon and brads/eyelets are in plastic drawers. I've opened the brown one so you can see.

I used different sized drawers in order to fit more on less shelves - two 3-drawer units and 4 one-drawer units. Beading books are next to the stacked single drawers.

Organizational books. I have an illness, what can I say ;) In front of them is my ribbon scrap jar. The shelf below has an accordion file with my paper scraps by color, a zippered binder (from K-Mart) with my dies and embossing folders, and another jar with leaf embellishments.

My Gasparilla beads and my treasured light-up Cracker Barrel. Under them are paper holders (12x12 size) from The Scrap Rack holding Club Scrap kits and my black and gray papers. The little gold box is from my engagement ring and the bubbles are from my rehearsal dinner years ago :)

I LOVE this totes. Got them from Michael's - they have a few other colors too. They fit perfect and hold a lot. From left to right: Punches, Circle/Square Punches, Alpha Stamps, and Die-cutting supplies.

Cropper Hopper photo cases. Next to them are memorabilia and other pics to be put away.

Inside one of the IKEA Drona boxes (13x13x15 fabric drawers) that fill the bottom row. This one is patterned paper that is more than one color, or coordinating kits. The others have pre-made layouts ready for pics (2), alterable items, and beading supplies (see next pic).

Beading supplies are stored in plastic sandwich containers, one color per container. Findings are in the divided floss container you see in the middle, and tools are in a stackable container from Joann's.

I got these purple containers on clearance at Target. They hold extra themed items that won't fit in the theme paper holders, extras of various supplies, and misc.

Hope you enjoyed looking at my Expedit! More to come in the next few days!

Juxtaposition

I saw this truck the other day - love the manly red Ford truck with the ladder in the bed - and the "License to Dance" license plate frame. Yes, I know he could be the next Patrick Swayze, but it still made me chuckle :)
