Linda Romero's Craft Space

Three tables and it's still not enough. I've been collecting crafting things since I was a kid and it is all with my Scrapbooking now. I have cards, several scrapbooks going, and a shell project. Just added a project for the Westminster marching band.

Kat Blue's Craft Space

My space is in the basement of our house. My kids come down and do crafts, homework, watch tv or just hangout with me if I am crafting. I wanted my space to be comfy and it had to look like an extension of my house. hide a lot of my supplies in baskets or in the cabinet that is against the wall. I display a lot of card and tags and special presents that people gift me to inspire me as I craft. :):) The only thing that gets messy is my round table but I usually clean it once a week.

ps-my husband swears this is messy

Lisa C (Flat Lisa)'s Scrapbook Room

Lisa C (Flat Lisa)'s Scrapbook Room 

This is my work area in my office where I can overlook my pool. Ikea shelves hold most of my stuff. Plus I hide many totes of papers my theme under the desk (ssh! My hubby doesn't know!)



More storage in the corner and a tv on the wall.My first scrap space was a built in closet next to our bar (just a coincidence!) in the basement. Now I prefer to be upstairs in the hub of the house.



This space is now just a dumping ground and holds overflow. My favorite part is the floor to ceiling paper trays that the builder made to my specifications.

I also have slat wall that I got when Second Floor Scrapbook store moved to the Princesss Shopping Center.

More Customer Craft Spaces

We had some more customers show us their crafting spaces.

Karen Steiner Dolbow says "This is just part of my room..."

Christine Rebbert shows us her messy desk and environs... (her words not mine.

Patricia Martin's craft area.

Patricia Martin was nice enough to share some photos of her craft space on our Facebook page.  She said, " Here are a few more pics of my messy desk area. At least,  I made 3 little wood halloween girls from the mess!!"

I just make stuff for fun then I get bored and move on.

Tracy's Scrap Desk and New Storage

Hi Everyone,

My name is Tracy and I am addicted to scrapbook supplies.  My hoarding started way back in 1996.  It was actually Kirstin's fault for being born and taking such cute baby photos. Kids!  My love of pictures led to this point.  Along the way, I added a desk, then a file cabinet, another desk, another file cabinet, cube shelving for albums and lots of bags (I am the original Bag Lady. Gina P is a close second.) 

 Recently, I added a smaller work desk which I actually keep relatively clean and a new storage cabinet.  When I am working on a project, I just rotate the supplies I am using.  Cards, bring out the Copics. Mini Albums, paper and rolls of pop dots.

Same desk, last week finishing up the Christmas SNAP book.

I have lots of bags that I use to carry projects back and forth to the store.

Here is my new storage cabinet.

Gina Painter is Throwing Down the Gauntlet

Hi Everyone

Let the messiest desk contest begin! I challenge my fellow crafters to "share" their work space and see who gets the most likes! Maybe Tracy Beck will give the winner a trophy from photo scraps to sit proudly on the winners desk! Good luck!

Can you find the desk in these pictures?



I will give you a hint, it's hidden under a couple pieces of paper and some other scrapbook supplies!



Disclaimer: no desk was cleaned in the taking of these pictures, only one pile of paper was moved so the desk surface would be visible!

Lisa C wanted to know if anyone actually thought Gina cleaned up first.   It looks pretty organized to me but my office is much worse.

Tina took on Gina's challenge for the Messiest desk

Hi everyone,

This is where the magic happens... My "craft" room, also doubles as an office. When I sit at my work table directly behind me is my desk. Now a couple of important disclaimers... Please ignore the really ugly (but really cheap) table cloth protecting the table... And second of all rest assured, it almost never looks like this! I have also included a picture for you to view the chaos in which I create!

The second picture shows how my work space looks at this very moment! It shrinks down to a 10"x15" space so that when I use my paper trimmer I have to stand up and put it on my chair!



I am prepping for classes as well as a craft show! So here it is: I am rising to Gina P.'s challenge to not be afraid to post our messy craft room! Please like this post! (Not that it's a contest...)

Oh and for all of you who think you have too much... This is only a glimpse.., but I have include a picture of my punch shelf... Later maybe the dies and stamps... I say there is no such thing as too much! Especially when Photo Scraps keeps luring me in with cute new items I can't live without!

October's Demo Day cards

Join us Saturday October 19th from 11-4pm for Demo Day!  I will have 2 offerings at my table:  a quick and cute Halloween card (my favorite holiday to create for) and a lovely sunflower card (good for lots of occasions).  The sunflower stamp set is from MFT and I am just loving it!!  I see lots of possibilities for it, from a standard sunflower to a variety of colors for Gerber daisies.

As always, I will have a bunch of sentiments on hand in case you want to stamp something different from what I have done.

On a side note, there are still just a few spots left in my Autumn Cards class.  Call and reserve your space soon before it's gone!

I'm looking forward to creating with you,
Cindy

Project Life Crop Saturday September 28th 6-Midnight

"I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!" I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it!!!" Raise your hand if you remember that song! It popped into my head today when I was thinking about all the fun I'm having using the Project Life products right now. This picture shows just two of the pages from an entire album I was so excited to complete using this fast and easy style of scrapbooking. I love how quickly things come together, yet you still have the freedom for creativity. If you are new to scrapbooking or feeling overwhelmed by the idea of starting a big project, or just want to add a new dimension to your current scrapbooking style, sign up for the Project Life Crop on September 28th. You can work on any of your crafting projects that evening - scrapbooking, card making, other paper crafts, - but during the night I'll be showing you some Project Life pages plus other products that work well with that system so you'll leave with lots of good ideas AND a fun make & take! Hope to see you on the 28th! Gina A. Gina & Scott Adolph

My September Demo Day cards

Join us Saturday September 21, 2013 from 11 - 4 pm for Demo Day!  We will be creating what may be 2 of my last butterfly cards for the season at this Demo Day.

I cannot seem to let go of summer and butterflies even while everyone around me is focusing on Autumn and Winter, so we will be making 2 very different butterfly cards at my table using one gorgeous butterfly stamp set from Sweet & Sassy.  I love how I can get 2 completely different looking cards from this set!  As always, I will have a variety of sentiments on hand for you to choose from.

And on a side note...if you have not been to the Photo Scraps blog in a while...go check it out!  Tracy has been hard at work updating the blog and it looks fantastic!  It is bright, fresh & trendy...I love it!

See you soon!
Cindy
