My Scrap Room

I know I love to search Pinterest for scraprooms and crop spaces so I thought I would post a few photos of my scraproom for you.  

The Crop Area: 

This first space is where I hold my monthly crops and workshops (classes).  I took over the family "game room" when our daughter started Jr High School and wanted to live in her room.  So now I have a wonderful space that is set up at all times just to have friends come over and play.  The "Lightbox" that you see in the back is where I take the photos for the blog.   


Now on to my personal scraproom:
This is walking in from the hallway.  I found the cardstock racks at a LSS that was changing out the black racks for white racks so I was able to buy them on the spot and cheap.  I love them!

Now I am standing in my closet looking towards the door.  The white tower on the left of the cardstock is a large stamp storage tower.  I have smaller ones under the workstation.  The black tower on the right of the cardstock is all of the High School Memorabilia for my daughter.  As soon as she graduates or I finish those albums this tower will move.  


My cutting workstation, fridge, and smaller stamp storage towers.



This unit is a bookshelf on it's side.  I just bought the fabric bin's and now I have a great little storage chest for the memorabilia that I save each year for our "family albums"   

My ink and DMC thread "lazy Susan".  I found this at Amazon.com many years ago and I use it everyday!  

My crafting world changed after I started sorting all of my embellishments by color.  Seriously!  Now I just pull out the drawer with the color I need and I have all of these possibilities for page embellishments.  


This is my little workstation that my husband build for me. The table is "L" shaped so I have a long counter to work on.   It is covered with sheet metal so I can work with paint, heat & glue and not worry about the surface.


I never used my sponge daubers until I put them on the wall!  Now I have a visual reminder to use my inks.  I have one dauber per ink color because I am too lazy to wash them after each use.  The spare pegs are also great for washi tape and scissors. 

This is a long view of the whole desk my husband built.


One final tip:  Get some sort of "scrap bin"!  It will save a ton of money and if you use file dividers, one color per divider then you will not go crazy trying to find your Glacier cardstock scraps. The left bin is current colors and the right bin is retired colors that I am still using.  Sometimes I have older paper packs I am still in love with and want to use.
