Scraproom Organization

I finally have half a room I can be proud to scrap in. Well, actually I like the whole room, but my desk, walls, and some shelving still need to be painted white this spring. What I did do was to purchase some of that cheap white shelving and lots and lots of containers. I tried to get a variety so it wouldn't be too boring. I think I spent as much on some of the containers as I did the shelving. Now I know particle wood isn't the greatest, but I did try to put most of the heavier items at the bottom to prevent warping of the shelves. At least now my husband knows what I want him to build in the future. I love it and I hope it gives you some organizational ideas!

Believe

Well I hope everyone had a terriffic Christmas with friends and family. I had a wonderful Christmas and I am looking forward to a wonderful New Year!

Today I have a layout to share with you. I used December's Swirlydoo kit, and the sketch that came with the kit. Coincidentally, the sketch is a challenge at Swirlydoo's and this is an entry for it. The papers were a combo of Kaisercraft's Turtle Dove collection and their Just Believe collection. I did a lot of different things with this layout. I guess I should start with the cricut images. I used Winter Woodlands for the trees and then I added liquid pearls to them. The banner is from Birthday Bash. My banner is so small I didn't bother using any string. The snowflakes were made from the Winter Lace cart. I added stickles and then sprinkled some glitter on them. I did not like the glitter getting all over everything , so I then put glossy accents on them. In the picture it makes them harder to see but I'd rather a bad picture then have the glitter mess. The tiny squares for the title were made with Plantin Schoolbook. I used a couple different Martha Stewart punches. A snowflake one was used around the page and then there's the strip of flowers punch. I added some Dusty Attic, flowers, and bling, and this is what I ended up with. 

I hope it inspires you while you do your Christmas layouts! Now I am off to start the next layout!

Smile and Say Cheese

Hello again! I have a layout to share. For the big circle I used a We R Memory Keepers punch, and for the black circle I used the new Martha Stewart circle punch. I love this new tool!! Oh it's a must have for sure! There's nothing really hard about this layout. I did overload it with flowers, but I tend to do that. I used some of the Prima resins. I so love the birds and birdhouses. Anyway, here is my layout. I hope you find some inspiration.

 

It's Been A Long Time

Hi all! It's been a long time since my last post. Life got very busy for me. We visited the mother-in-law and then my son was home from Japan for a month. I am trying to get some scrapping in before the holidays, which are almost upon us. I can't believe how this year has flown by. At any rate, I know my time for scrapping is still going to be limited, but I am going to do my best to play in my room!

Well, for this post I have a layout to share with you. I used my wonderful Swirlydoo's kit. The papers are from Prima's Romance Novel collection. Oh my is it ever beautiful! In fact, I loved it soo much I ordered two sets of the patterned paper. Some of the flowers are older Prima flowers that I had on hand, but I thought they suited the layout as well as the photo. I used some Spellbinder dies and Martha Stewart punches for extra layering. The leaves did not come with the kit. They are also something that I had on hand. The photo is of my son who just visited and his girlfriend. I think they make a cute couple! I hope you enjoy the layout and that you will be inspired.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Holidays!

Little Tink

Hello! Today I have a layout to share using the Bo Bunny Vicki B collection. It has been laying around forever in need of a title. Today I finally finished it. I lifted this design from Janis Medina Maghinay. I can't find her layout but I know I lifted it from her. I used one of my We R Memory Keepers punches and then used a white pen to make the design pop.The flowers were fussy cut from the paper.

The photo is of my granddaughter last Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by!
