All Tuckered out!

 

Hello Friends!

 

 

It's been a while since I've posted, I have been busy getting the house back together before I start school on Oct. 1..I have 2 more rooms to clean! LOL

 

 

 

I used the All Girl collection from Echo Park.I once again used the negative of a previous project. ( The bird paper )  This picture is of my stepdaughter, Lindsey.

I also used Tim Holtz's Rosette die to make the rosette flowers.  Other flowers are Prima, American Crafts. Buttons ~ Unknown.

 

Make sure you save those papers that you diecut large shapes out of..You could easily use then for another project!

Happy Sunday!

 

 

I wanted to show you a LO that took me 2 days to complete..The photo is of my grandmother, my Dad, and his siblings..I had this photo in an old Daisy D collection kit for oh about 8 years and never knew what I wanted to do with it. So, I got it out and put the kit away and went to my newly organized papers and went to work!

 

I found this paper and was immediately drawn to it..

 



 and I decided to marry it with these..

Inching closer to fall and I love it!!

Today I wanted to show you some of my layouts I have completed in the last week..Yes, I said week!! I have been a scrapping fool. It's so much easier to create when you are not spending half your time looking for something you KNOW you have!

I finally completed the pile of Easter photos that have been sitting on my desk forever!!

Here they are:

 

Still using the Easter paper from Making Memories. The vellum title is from Leaving Prints. The eggs are cut from the Easter 2010 Cricut cartridge. The journaling block is old Prima packaging. Finally the ribbon is Tastefully Tattered Monochromatic collection in Bahama Trio by MaisyMo Designs.

So there ya go! My creations from last week!! I'm off to create some more. I hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!

 

 

 

Organized!!

Hello!!

 

I have been on a cleaning frenzy the past few days! My studio was a hot MESS..and not in a good way either. I couldn't get into my closet, I had tons of crap laying in front of it to put into it! So I decided to clean it all out and then once I got into the closet I decided to get rid of some things..I have to be careful what I put into it because the bottom  is broke so nothing real heavy goes into the bottom. Well, it just snow balled from there..Before I knew it I had everything all over the place.

 

This is a picture of my desk before..I moved things around a bit and now have more room!

 

 

 

Here is my desk now..with some rearranging I have lots more space..I can even put my paper cutter on my desk. Something I have never done. as you can see from the top photo, I always put it along side of me!

 

I simply moved the pink and black organizer down to the corner and tilted it! Voila! More space!

 

 

I moved my Ikea Alex drawer unit where I sit my Cricut to the other side of the room so I could access the slim chest of drawers where my TV is. I had 4 drawers that were empty because I couldn't get into them!

 

From a different angle..

 

Here it is now! I put my cling stamps, Masks, and other painting supplies in the drawers. All the drawers are labeled!

 

Next task was the large pile of Deep sweater boxes I had of old kits from Scarlet Lime. I decided to finally take the kits apart and separate all the products..Well, it was quite an undertaking  but I did it and LOVE the results!

 

Believe it or not, all the paper from the 2 years worth of kits I had stored fit into ONE Cropper Hopper paper organizer. When I separated the paper I first separated into shapes and floral then I separated the piles into color. While I was here I took all the prepackaged kits that I had that I also had bulky embellishments for and put them in one of the sweater boxes. It freed lots of space on my shelf and they didn't need to be on the shelf because most of those I bought for specific projects!

 

Scarlet Lime kits come with lots of different type of Embellishments so I decided to also categorize those as well. I have places for chipboard, run ons, flowers but not for stickers..So I had these 15 qt. clear totes and decided to use them. One has stickers of words, journaling blocks,trim, and edges. The other box has theme stickers and seasons. I actually had a drawer left over in my pink and black wood organizer ( on my desk) and put all the floral stickers in there.

 

I went from 4 boxes down to 2 ! One of theme/ manufacturer kits and the other has  a collection of stuff for specific projects..like Disney, Halloween, Travel.

 

Finally I come to the best part of this project..I decided to float my paint table in the middle of the room! It's a small student folding table I got when I first started scrapbooking 12 years ago. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner! It fits perfectly and it allows me to get into my closet if I need to!

Here is one final look at the finished room! I can't wait to start creating in my improved space! The best part..I didn't spend ANY money!! Just some ingenuity and a lot of sweat!

 

Family Blessings

I'm slowly getting 2004 Easter pictures scrapbooked! This LO took me very little time to put together. The background scalloped circle was from another LO I completed some time ago and decided to save the negative!
