My Scraproom

Welcome to my scraproom. I wish I had more time to play in here! I try to keep it super organized so it is easy and inviting to work in. My dad did most of the work in here with a little help from Ry. He installed all the drywall, shelves, cabinets, and countertops. This is still a work in progress-we need to install the trim and the drop ceiling and some other finishing touches. I didn't have a lot of room to work with--the other side of the room is the laundry area so I tried to make the most out of the space. This works out well for me anyway because I like to have everything at my fingertips. I love the height of the counters because they are low enough to be able to use a tall office chair but high enough to stand up and work, which I recently started doing a lot.

These are the supplies I use the most. I wanted to have both open and hidden storage so I could display the things that inspire me and keep the messier or unattractive things out of sight. The tall cabinet has household items and wrapping supplies. The two boxes on top of that cabinet hold all my pictures. I try to keep these very organized so it's easy to just pull out one event and scrap it. The top shelf holds all my ribbon and stamping supplies and the black boxes hold small embellishments. The second shelf holds all my main supplies: paper, letters, rub-ons, paint, flowers. This part of the countertop holds my must-haves. My paper trimmers, cutting mats, etc... are stored on the left by the cabinet. More on the rest later!

This is my main work area. The cabinets hold all my punches, extra adhesives, card making supplies, fabrics, glitter, paint brushes and lots of other odds and ends. The ledge holds all my buttons and more ribbon and some favorite pictures. Kiki's food bowl sits up here so Bruno can't get to it. She usually sits up here while I am working and keeps me company. To the right is a small t.v. and a mini fridge for beverages! My tool caddy holds all the everyday tools like scissors, adhesives, crop-o-dile, and pens. I like my area to be really clean when I scrap so I keep the paper towels handy! My paper and cardstock, sorted by manufacturer.

Buttons and ribbon. Acrylic paint. I haven't even used half of these but I love the display. Having all the bright colors around is definately inspiring!
Journalling spots, alphabets, rub-ons, and paper embelishments. I have a few of these white baskets sprinked around the room. I like that I can see everything in them but the supplies are contained.

Another basket--flowers in this one.
Chipboard and acrylic alphabets. I have them stored in hardware organizers found at Lowes.
The frog prince was one of my favorite stories when I was little so this little guy was an awesome find!
