My Scrapping Space

Over on the Cricut messageboards, we like to share our scrapbooking spaces for inspiration. I figured I'd post it here as well.

Below is my supply shelf (Ikea Expedit shelving) and my sewing table/spare scrapbooking table for when I have people over. My chair is over by the windows, so I hang my Cricut mats on the wall for easy access:



Here is a view of my husbands desk (I try to share the room. =P), my desk (on the left), and the spare table:

Up close view of my supply storage. I got all the cute green organizing containers from Target. They also came in blue and recently I saw purple. I use the green binders for clear stamp storage and printing Pagemaps (sketches). I use cropper hopper drawers for ribbon (right side, second shelf down) and matching paper organizers by Making Memories for my scraps:

Here is my paper rack I got off craigslist and a Michael's cube below. I intend to add one more cube to this stack for more paper storage:

And finally, a close up view of my desk. My computer sits to the left. I got a large Martha Stewart cutting mat to protect my desktop:

Scrappin Buddies

Here is a picture from the last ScrapMania I attended at Archiver's in Austin. I soooo miss scrapping with my friend Jennifer. One special thing about this layout is that it matches Jennifer's layout of the same photo. I used the same main scalloped page and added the branch embellishment that she gave me in a swap.

Details: Scalloped patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye Penny Lane collection. Orange patterned paper is by Crate Paper. Branch is Prima. Flowers are a random collection, mostly Prima (including the blue burlap flower). "Scrappin Buddies" and bird were cut using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge.

Shoe Fetish

Oh, my silly cats. Just some more photos of them being cute. For whatever reason, they love our shoes... maybe because they smell like the outdoors?

Details: Patterned paper is from the Bo Bunny Petshop line. The orange sign (the cat's meow) is by EK Success Phrase Cafe metal signs. The cat brads are by Around the Block. Journaling block is by Scenic Route (thanks for the perfect addition to my page, Jennifer!). "Shoe Fetish" was cut using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge (Jack Sprat feature).

Our Big Move

I found this awesome Texas paper at the scrapbook store in Fredericksburg and then a few months later my friend Jennifer gave me the matching California sheet. So I figured I would make a layout to represent Warren and I's big move. I add journaling blocks to write details I like about each state.

Details: Paper is by Stamping Station. Journaling blocks are by K&Company Blue Awning line. "Our Big" was using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge ( Italic Monoline feature). "Move" was also cut using Lyrical Letters (Jumbo feature). "Nov 2008" was written using Making Memories glitter alpha stickers.
