My Craft Room

Here it is!  My craft room is pretty well put together.  It's organized chaos.

Bear with me as I'm going to describe as we go.

This is the SE corner - looking in across the room from the door. 

Here's a better view of the bookshelf. It's holding photo organizer boxes, jars of flowers and albums waiting to be started. 

This is the inside of the cabinet my TV is perched atop. The boxes are full of photos waiting to be organized and scrapped.

Next we move to the right - lots of paper and ribbons.  Yes, the dressers are FULL too.

Here's another bookshelf - full of plastic shoe storage containers - they are holding all my wood-mounted stamps, just-right stamps, stampin up stamps and inks.  The two teal containers are drawers holding all my Cricut books & overlays. The cartridges are in a container right on top of those drawers.

The still-life picture was painted by my dad. The farm scene with the dog is a painting from a former boyfriend's mom. I gave her a photo of my dog I grew up with and she painted him into this farm setting. She named it "September Song with Prince". She didn't know he was born in September

Here's yet another dresser - yes, FULL. Above it is a shelf just showing off some cutesy stuff & a picture my dad painted before I was born. I've always loved THAT clown.  I have a shoe bag hanging on the door holding all my border & corner punches.

As we come around to the right - here's a closet - on the far left in here I have all my totes piled up.  Next I have a file cabinet in here that's not organized yet.  I'm going to store all my paper scraps in one drawer and all my alpha and numeric stickers in the bottom drawer.  The small bookcase has all my idea books and magazines stored on it.  This closet still needs a lot of work.  The little white boxes have my cuttlebug folders in them - alphabetically.  

 

In between both closets I have a rack that holds CDs - all those cases are full of unmounted stamps and my Nesties.

The next closet over to the right is probably the most organized spot in the room.  I have a pants hanger with "clip-it-ups" holding all my loose ribbon, a 9-cube cabinet holding lots of goodies - more detailed pictures below.  There's a bookshelf in there and organizers hanging on both doors.

My totes/cubes hold:

Christmas, small paper stacks, 8 1/2 x 11 paper

bling, chipboard, stickers

words/phrases, die cuts and scouts.

And of course in front I have my baby's bed.

Ok..... guess that's all the further I'm going to get tonight.  I'll work on posting the other half of the pictures/tour tomorrow.  Thanks for visiting.  If you have any questions about what's stored where or want a more detailed picture or description, email me:  pprice723 gmail com.

Get Well Soon Card

A family member recently took ill and my husband and I decided a home-made card would be much appreciated. I went through all my images to find just the right one for her - it came from Dustin Pike. I used an Action Wobble (trimmed way down) to give action to the monkey's head. I have to admit, tho, I didn't do the best job stamping MONKEY, however, I know she'll love the card anyway. 


I even remembered to keep track of which Copics I used!

Friendship in Bloom

A friend is celebrating her birthday soon and I needed to create a special card for her.  She loves flowers and to work in her flower garden.  I've seen cards flowers made like this before and decided to give it a try.  Sorry, I'm really bad at keeping track of where I get my items I create with.  Friendship in Bloom is a rub-on.  I am quite pleased with how the card turned out. My friend loved it!

My Sister's Birthday Card

I purchased this image and decided it needed to be distressed. I crumpled the picture and roughed up the edges then added flower soft to the girl's flower basket. I also used Core'dinations Whitewash cardstock behind it - crumpling and distressing the edges of that as well as running a sanding block over it to bring out the color a little more. "Forever Young" is a vellum phrase that I added by running it through my Xyron "X" Sticker Maker.

Needless to say, my sister loved the card!

90th Birthday Card

A friend asked me to make a birthday card for her uncle who was turning 90.  WOW! Where do I even begin???  Well I had seen an idea long these lines out there some where and decided to find a car image and go from there.  She loved it and so did everyone else! WHEW!  

For my little Valentine

This is the card I made for my little 2nd grade pen pal. She's such a sweetie! I love how the bee can be colored in so many different ways and still look darling! Hope you enjoy!

Almost Valentine's Day

A friend asked me to make a few Valentine's Day cards that she and her husband could send to their 2nd grade pen-pals.  I love this little bee.  It's perfect for many occasions! The top card will be sent to a little boy and the bottom obviously to a girl. I think the kids will be thrilled - they love to get mail!
