this was my scrapbook room in our last house that we rented. other than the white walls, {not being able to paint and the hideous carpet} i loved this room! it was fairly small, i just needed more room to have a bigger table for when i make a mess. but it still worked. at first i complained of the tiny closet, then i soon found out that it didn't matter. it was best NOT to just stuff a bunch of stuff in there to be hidden. i put everything out that i actually use. it's much easier that way than running back to the closet to pull out one more thing. i didn't have room to put the little table i had at my store. in my new room i will, then i can have my sewing machine out!
full of my favorite colors combos, favorite things, eye candy every where!
i've had lots of fun finding the perfect bowls, buckets, jars...etc...
to store all my fun things in.
can't wait til i can unpack my stuff again!
my dad made this hutch. holds everything perfectly!
my favorite corner of my room!
here's where i'd sit on the floor looking through scrapbook idea books when it was too hot to sit outside!
my favorite pictures...i still need one of isabella and anthony up there.
my idea books on an old step ladder shelf.
i love to store embellishments in cute bowls and cups! especially if they have polka.dots.
bottom shelf holds: patterned paper in accordian organizers. more heidi swapp stuff, idea books, cardstock that wouldn't fit on the top shelf. and my printer. anthony sure loved it at his level! makes me sad to see this picture though. in that corner is where my computer tower and external hard drive. that's the time it was trying to be worked on. i lost all my photos and files from 3 years. still makes me sick. please back up your files!
here's when i painted this frame...
more old wooden boxes to hold my punches, chipboard, bind it all.
red + aqua! can't get enough!
this little aqua mug...from the di, see my kids get in my stuff! E6000 has been very useful!
my mini red polka.dot bowl is perfect for holding my memory cards and pink shuffle.
button jar was from an old candle.
green tin containers hold my wooden alphabet stamps and all my adhesives.
aqua lid: i bought it at the di...i loved it so much, levi told me not to buy it because i would never find something to fit it! i left it in the durango, so that everytime i was out on the hunt i could see if it would fit something, anything, a jar, bowl, glass hurricane. it took me a year, but i found it! see? NEVER say never. yes. i love justin bieber's music!
my very FAVORITE picture of levi...
my 8.5x11 cardstock is organized in black magazine holders from wal.mart.
heidi swapp product...labeled and stored in wooden boxes with my very favorite scalloped gingham ribbon!
my fabric stash kept in a basket.
i got lucky and bought this brand new pottery barn organizer at a yard sale, ten dollars! there is one more piece, i didn't have room for. works perfect for my stamps and smaller patterned paper.
tiny alphabet stamps, tiny attacher, loose chipboard alphabet letters, vellum tags stored in glass jars. some were from my wedding reception. and some i had to buy back after we dropped them off to the di. seems like they always have them!
red and pink buckets from walmart, during valentines. i got lucky at di with the same red one for twenty.five cents, years later! they hold my pens, scissors, misc tools, foam brushes, decorative scissors and hole punches.
i painted my ribbon jar lids to match my hutch as one of my summer projects. they look so much better! can't wait to paint my bakers rack this summer. it'll be black.
these were my curtains i made for my store, scrapalicious. i love them! i wish i didn't lose my pictures of my store. i wanted to make an album with them to remember it.
my cupcake jar...holds my hidden chocolate!
only levi wasn't so sneaky one day so now the girls know.
closet stuff:
photos stored in cropper hopper cases. all my embellishments, stickers, etc...sorted by theme or holiday and are in these drawers. scrapfolios: all my stickers, rubon sheets organized in dividers. pink accordian organizer is all basic grey paper organized by lines. other scrapfolio has all chatterbox paper. oldies...but goodies!
i used to have all my carded ribbon and embellishments hanging on my black shelf in my old room, but now i use that in my living room, so it worked perfect to hang them on the rod in the closet. and i finally got smart and put all my flower jars up HIGH. my girls loved to empty them out and sort them daily. fun for them...not me! + my hallogen...always need a hallogen light for some serious scrappin'...
my framed quotes i made. the red one was from an emergency preparedness event i did for my church calling. it's a good reminder!
i took apart my SHE book and made this. i'll get a new book, my cover faded from being in the window.
this was my mother's day present from levi! ahhh i love it so much! still need to add a few things to it.
this is where i would edit pictures, blog, pinterest...
on my not very comfortable stool.
the only thing i'm missing that i really want is a vintage typewriter! and one that works so i can use it for journaling. i'll take one in pink, red or aqua!
