My Scrappin'/Craftin' Space

Well, after the move, I think I've finally got my scrappin' space arranged the way I want it (for now)......lol.  It seems like I change something every other day.  It's amazing how much stuff you can fit into one room!  But, this is where I spend the majority of my "home" time.  As you can see, I have tried to make use of every shelf, drawer, bin, and wall space.

This first pic shows my tv, printer, paper stack over in the corner (which is actually two racks stacked), my cabinet full of goodies.  On he top shelf there is paper, the second shelf is stuff I mix up, flocking, stickles, and adhesives.  The next shelf is embossing powders, glitters, and adhesives. The next shelf is my sewing machine, slice machine, acrylic paints, and in the box is markers and pencils.

The bottom shelf has paper packs (imagine that!), large punches, and sprays (adhesive, shellac, hairspray, etc).

This next pic shows brads, brads, and more brads.  The last shelf has punches, alcohol inks and the bin holds my cricut pens and misc. items.  Under the shelves is my "covered" cricut expression, and little 4 drawer bin that holds various stamping items, and on the shelves under the cricut is where I keep my mats, various threads, beading, and punches.

This next pics shows my wall hanging storage compartments.  I got this at Home Depot and it was supposed to be for nails, screws, etc.  Instead, it holds embellishments, puffy paint, glitter, twine, chalks, metal frames, etc.  And, the wood shelf next to it holds all of my ink pads.  Under that is more paper (OMG!  how much paper do I need?....lol).  In the bottom of that area is misc. ribbons, materials, and books.  Next to that the boxes on top hold ribbons, and of course the other wall hanging is ribbons!  The container under my "covered" cricut create is ribbons!  Over in the corner is my notebooks with all of my clear stamps.  There is more than meets the eye!  In he drawers of the multi-colored storage bin there is paper (of course), adhesives, and embellishments.

This next pic shows my tool holder, and under that is misc. items.  (There sure are a lot of misc. items in this room.....lol).  In the plastic cabinet are large stamps and stamp around the page items.  Next is the cutest little storage cabinet that I got from LTD a long time ago.  I have tried to keep stuff in the drawers as they are listed on the cabinet.  There are some differences, I have jewelry making tools and misc items in there also.  Hanging above is my heat gun and glue guns.  In the jars are just misc. embellishments.  Over in the corner are some of my cricut cartridges.  These are the ones that would not fit in the jukeboxes that I am using for cartridge storage.  I don't hardly ever use cartridges any more since I have discovered svg and also my gypsy.  Let's not even discuss what's in that closet....lol.

This next pic shows my spice rack turned into punch holder, my inspiration shelf and board.  Just where I put things that I make that I want to keep and also things that my crafty friends give me.  The small shelf hanging on the wall holds perfect pearls and alcohol inks.

The final pic shows my cricut imagine, and my cutters.  I won't even say how many are actually on that cart....lol.  Th next shelf has my Your Story, embellishments, notebooks with various items (borders, instructions, pictures) and boxes of pictures that I am going to put into a scrapbook one day.

 Well, there you have it, my haven!

CRAFTY WEEKEND

This past weekend was our annual Friends Day, hosted by Pam!  (Thank you Pam!)  There were a group of wonderful, crafty ladies, good food, and lots-to-do!  We made cards, jewelry, a dish, a coaster, etc.!

The theme of the day was Paris and my favorite was the Eiffel Tower!  Of course Pam had a great sample sitting on the table that she had made, but here is my attempt. (sorry that it's sideways).  Pam had cut the SVG on great pattern paper and the rest was up to us!  The flowers started out white, but I sprayed and glittered until my lil' heart was content.

 
Our next project was a necklace!  Of course I had to put a crown in mine but we had the option of putting anything we wanted in it.  (Any picture, object, etc.).   I have this crown laid inside the cap and adhered with Glossy Accents.  There is actually a stone in the top of the crown, but the pic doesn't show it. I'm thinking I need to add some bling/spacers, really jazz this up a little.

My next project was a beautiful fairy card!  Now, in case you didn't know, I can't cut straight.....lol.  But, did it matter...NO!....lol.  This is my first attempt and I think it turned out pretty good.  Of course I'm looking at it thinking "ummm, what more can I do?"......lol. 

Then, my craftiness carried over to the next day!  Pam had given me this crown a while back, and I had used this paper on a previous project (even the beads on the necklace above), so I decided to put them together and this is what I came up with.  Again, the flowers were white, and again, I sprayed and glittered.

I had a great weekend and great projects that I had to share!  I'm already waiting for next June.  As soon as Pam sets the date, I will be marking my calendar!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Creative Cutting Challenge - WEDDINGS

The challenge this week at Creative Cutting Challenge is weddings!  I chose to say "congratulations" with the church, which you can get at The Creative Pointe Online Store. 

 

I enjoyed making this card and adding my own little special touches.    After cutting the card, I cut it as two separate pieces, one black, one white.  The black for the front (outside) and the white for the inside.  The black outside, I embossed with the honeycomb embossing folder which I have been dying to use! I then when over the lines with a white pen, giving it that brick look.  I then embossed the white cuts for the front of the church, lining them up in the folder. 

I cut the cross out in gold glitter, and the door to the church.  How cool is that???......lol.  Of course the "congratulations" was stamped in gold stayz on in order to coordinate.

For the windows.  I cut them in pattern paper first, and then I cut them in vellum to give them the frosted stained glass look.  In order to get the frames, I just resized and layered the windows.

Hop on over to The Creative Cutting Challenge and show off your wedding SVG projects!

CHALLENGE #12 - ANYTHING GOES!

This week the CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE is "Anything Goes"!  So, I get to show off what I've learned over the past couple of weeks.  Dimensional dress forms....yeah! 

I cut the dress form from an SVG on chipboard two times, then 16 times using various vellum papers.  After assembling, I began to decorate!  Using flowers, beads, ribbons and hot glue, this is what I came up with.  The "topper" is a stick pin I made using a corsage pin, flowers, beads, and stickles.

So, it doesn't matter what you have created this week, hop on over to CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and enter your creations!  Prize for this challenge is a $5 Gift Certificate for SVG files from the Creative Pointe's ON LINE STORE!
