*~*My Crafty Space*~* Part 2

I'm excited to share with you the progress that I've made in the organization and set up of my craft room!  I'm still searching for the perfect "name" to my room so leave me a comment with your suggestion!

Since posting earlier in the week, I have reorganized my papers.  I pulled all my CTMH cardstock out of the file drawer that it was weighing down, sorted it by color, then put them in cropper hopper paper folders.  I put frome 1-3 colors in each folder depending on how much I have or use of that color.  Then I put them in my cubes by color (pink, red, orange/yellow, green, blue and purple.  I already had my neutrals sorted:  white, black, colonial white, neutrals and browns.  Then in the bottom cube is my random patterned papers, shaped papers and bling cardstocks. 




I also hung up my corkboard which has baggies of swap items. 



Here is the long awaited shelf/desk from IKEA!  I'm so thrilled to finally have this in my space :)  The table part is nice and big, holding my ink tower and my other essential tools and supplies.  I have not finalized what I'll keep in the shelves, but its coming together! 




Here's the view when you walk in my room.  My desk is in front of the window.  To the left of my desk is a whole lot of stuff that needs to be put away still, then a file cabinet, then the closet. 



And here's the wall that I face when I craft!  I LOOOOOOOVE having some of my favorite layouts framed!  I have them in a couple different rooms and they make me HAPPY! 



I'm working on putting something 3 more wall decor items- the first being for the wall above my cubes.  Its going to say CREATE. 

Stay tuned for more.....

Great room! I have the same desk from IKEA and LOOOVE it. I actually have a slightly bigger shelf system and surprised at how fast I filled it up. :)

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
