Jayne's craft space challenge

Well, Jayne from BBTB2 has challenged us share our craft spaces...For me, that meant clean up ASAP! When I first started making scrapbooks, I stored everything on a shelf in my bedroom armoire...and lugging everything out while the kids were sleeping wasn't fun...So I decided to claim some space on our corner computer desk...Well, I soon outgrew that and became fascinated by IKEA storage all over Pinterest and picked up some storage units. Love the bright white cubes, esp down here in the playroom where it is often pretty dark. Still have to clean up some more (didn't take pics of the mess) and paint the walls...But this corner of the downstairs is my space -- I love it. 

Above is my embellishment center -- loved corralling all of those little itty bitty things and being able to grab the right shade of the right flower, button or brad without making a much of mess. I also don't expect that I will ever use it all, but ever since sorting my bling I have stopped buying,  knowing that I have enough, no matter how good a deal is.

Above is my cricut and tool center...With enough space to always find and access my toys. You can see that I am old-school when it comes to my cricut. I will run my cricut into the ground, using real carts (not digital) that I have collected -- at bargain prices. I have NEVER paid full price for a cricut cartridge. Some of them went for $100! My collection is feeling a bit obsolete, as the new machine and cloud technology means that others can digitally access my collection for a small monthly fee. In the meantime, I am using my investment and having fun.

Here is a tall photo of my back wall -- I also have my ribbon in mason jars, and love them corralled there on that wall shelf. No more finding ribbon everywhere!

Share your photos -- with us at BBTB2 and here -- don't be shy, we'd all love to see your scrappy escape!
