I often have people ask me about my craft room, and about storage ideas and how I store particular things, so I thought I would start giving you a tour of my craft room, and share some of my storage ideas with you! I have been busy since Christmas, using every spare minute re-organising my craft room, cleaning out (and re-selling unwanted items) my supplies, and re-organising my embellishments so that I can see them and remember to use them. My scrapbooking goal this year is to stop spending money (ha!) and use up all the beautiful embellishments I have in my collection. After searching high and low, I finally found some storage containers that were clear, a good size, and cheap enough to have one for every Stampin' Up! Colour plus extras for chipboard, tags, flowers and other embellishments. I bought these from K-Mart for only $2 for 3x 500mL containers; or $2 for 2x 700mL containers. I have arranged the ribbon/flower ones in colours, and I love the effect it gives- it brightens up my whole room, and I have used more embellishments in the last month than I did all of last year!
I call this my "EMBELLISHMENT WALL":
Above it is a decorated canvas that I hang samples of cards I have made on; and below it is a 2x4 Expedit shelf from IKEA (LOVE IKEA!!!!) with all my 12x12" papers and cardstock; as well as A4 Cardstock in clear plastic wallets for each colour.
Finally today I'd like to show you some wooden words that I painted my favourite colour (teal) and decorated. This is my craft motto (and is almost the same as the Stampin' Up! one coincidentally):-
They hang above the windows in my craft room, and above the beautiful Shadow box Butterfly frame that my bestie
Maree made for me:-
Finally, I have just finished decorating this timber sign that another of my besties
Nicola gave to me, but have yet to hang it on the wall:-
Hope this post leaves you feeling inspired!
