My Studio

I thought it was high time I shared with you where I spend many hours of my day.

So ... welcome to my little studio.

This is where I love to create hours on hours. I would love to have 2 desks but the room isn't big enough for that because I have my piano on 1 wall. One day I hope to have one though. When we first moved in we went to Ikea & purchased the cabinets above my desk and on the side. I really like them as they can hide a lot - I hate seeing a mess on my desk .. and believe me it happens often.

Behind my desk is a bookshelf that (I am in the process of re-organizing right now) that holds my Canadian Scrapbooker schtuff (ribbons, flowers, stamps,magazines) also my Cricut Expression and cartridges.

To the right side of my chair is a cabinet (from Ikea) that holds my printer paper, ribbons (which I've organized in embroidery floss containers), paints, Coluzzle templates, stamping inks) and on top of it is my printer and another basket full of Canadian Scrapbooker supplies.
The closet stores all of my patterned papers in 2 large racks. I used to have my cardstock (in 12x12 Cropper Hopper folders) in there as well but I moved them to my wall cabinets now.

I store many little embellishments for Canadian Scrapbooker in 1 of the Iris carts. Another Iris cart stores all of my Imaginisce products (from flowers, ribbons, stamps, i-rock & i-top tools & accessories, chipboards, to stickers) as well as American Crafts in 1 drawer. The other iris cart contains some sewing notions in a few drawers, stamps and liquid adhesives, inks, embossing powders, etc.
The baskets above the wall cabinets hold various things such as ribbons, my massive card collection (which I need to go through and use!!!), Stix2 products, my mini album collections and some unaltered items.

I've added the white cubes (from Michaels) that hold chipboard alpha, my brad collection, rhinestones/gems, chipboard , etc. I'm still working on filling up some of the drawers by re-arranging some of the things I have elsewhere. Plus on the bottom sections I hold my Core'dinations cardstock separate from my other cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my studio. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
And remember to always .... Live Love Laugh!
