*~*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. :)

E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
