This is where I get scrap happy.

Scrapbook room, scrap room, craft room, creative space, crop spot.

Call it what you will, but I am LOVING my updated scrap room.  Thing is, my scrapbook room is always a work in progress.  I freely admit that I have more fun organizing and rearranging my creative space than actually playing in it. Silly I know, but I like organizing. I also love scrapbook stuff, so it marries two of my passions.

My scrapbook room is a place where I go to unwind and get crafty. I have nine finished scrapbooks, and I am always working on new layouts.

So this is my scrap space. I have a dresser that houses tools, extra storage, fabric, washi tape, tags and extra adhesive. It also holds my Canon Selphy and Silhouette Cameo as well as a knock off Clip it Up from Hobby Lobby. My Ikea Expedit 4x4 bookshelf keeps cardstock and pattern paper on display with Display Dynamics ; punches, ribbon, stamps, and embellishments organized in locker baskets; scrapbook kits, finished albums, magazines, inspiration books, and other stuff. I keep a number of chick flicks on hand to watch on my new (to me) TV - would you believe I only spent $40 on this flat-panel Westinghouse? A steal, I know! I also keep all my photos organized in Iris Photo Keepers on the three-tiered wired shelf. That is also where I keep my sewing machine and Cuttlebug. 

This is what you see when you first step into my house.

In my updated room, I have a small sitting area.

I like to organize my Thickers by color. I keep kit leftovers on this 3-tiered plate stand.

A very full Ikea Expedit. The new system is called Kallax. My favorite craft movies, 

and who doesn't love to zone out with some Super Mario Bros. now and again?

A closer peak, the bottom shelf has locker baskets with ribbon, punches, stamps
and embellishments.

Old magazines. I hate that everything is digital now, but I'd hate for them to

go away entirely, so I'll take what I can get and won't throw a fit.

Buttons in a colander, crepe streamers in vintage Pyrex, and 6x6 pads, handmade
cards and other stuff from my travels and experiences to be scrapbooked
are housed in this vintage card organizer.

I finally invested in a tool carousel, and I keep brads in this little vintage Pyrex bowl.

This small drawer holds used Thickers without the packaging, and I keep

scrapbook kits that I've purchased or designed myself in this rubbermaid tote.

To keep clutter at bay, I put large kit leftovers in this yellow basket as well as my

most used and loved tools, scissors, pens, pencils and my handy stapler.

 On either side of the dresser, I have Iris Storage. The right set houses the kids

scrapbook and craft stuff. The one of the left holds Christmas/Holiday and Disney
kits as well as large format pictures and recently finished scrap layouts.

I keep extra tools in the dresser, like paper trimmers, a big bite, and

xyron sticker makers. 

I keep inks, mists, washi tape, tags, twine, and various adhesives in
these blue baskets (4 for $1 @ Dollar Tree).

Here you'll see all the fabric, that I don't know how to sew. Owning a sewing

machine does not mean I know how to use it.

Last but not least, what I am currently working on. Such a sweetie this little guy.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of my scrapbook room. Like I said, it is definitely a work in progress. Some of the things I would like to update include the lighting in this space as well as the paint on the walls, ceiling, and trim. I prefer neutrals, and well the whole atmosphere can be rather yellow in this room, making it hard to color match at night when I find the most time for my hobby.

As you can see, I also like to collect colorful vintage here and there (flea markets are my fave), so it is nice to be able to show off those pieces on a blank canvas.  And just if you're curious, there was a lot of art on display in this room. I am IN LOVE with Ping Irvin. She often comes to the Arts and Jazz Festival in Denton, and this is where my husband and I buy her prints. Her original art is AMAZING, beautiful, and it really speaks to me. It is just so unique, and I love her color palettes and beautiful imagery. Each year my husband and I buy a new fine art print from her. 

Have a great night folks, I hope that this little peek into my scrapbook world has inspired you to get to crafting or maybe even organizing! It's so much fun!
