Scrap Space


There have been a few discussions about scrap spaces and storage lately. We have a small house for the five of us so my scrap room is also the dining room and the living room with a kitchen in there too. I have taken over the corner around the dining table with my workbench (with a book shelf underneath) - it's made for me (vertically challenged) to stand at. I recently dragged the long shelf in from the carport to put some 'overflow' in & we altered a shelving unit by adding doors and some horizontal shelves in to keep the majority of my bits - it isn't often tidy -as you can see by these pics - but it works for me and means I can scrap and be in the room with my children - I can also keep an eye on dinner (when Jase won't cook or I feel like being a nice wife & moher) while I play!

I like your scrap space Lara. Mine too is the dining room table and a couple of shelf type things but it isn't as organized(or tidy) looking as yours lol

That looks great Lara, do you really scrap standing at your bench or do you grab a chair. My stuff has well & truly taken over my office...lol, the only embarrassing part was when I had an office lady last year and she could see how much stuff I had...lol, I think she realised I was obsessed to say the least!

Thanks for posting these pics Lara. Have lots of plans but first up, only temp ones as we might shift. My family are resigned to me cooking while painting things on one part of the kitchen bench LOL.

Wow, love to see others scrap areas. It looks great. We've been thinking of moving for a while now, so I keep putting off getting an actual area. Poor hubby gets to eat dinner on his knee most nights as the dining table is under a pile of stuff from the last few LO's. LOL. Its been great seeing what great ideas other people have.

Yes - I prefer to stand Lisa - I use my work bench (top of book shelf) but then often sit to ponder my journaling at the dining table. Sofa's are best for research (aka looking at magazines).

Great to hear your news about the DT.
Just to answer your question on my blog - I have a new job in a scrapbook shop therefore sadly having to give up KS consultancy.
My scrapspace is so small you couldn't swing a cat in it.
Cool about your camp too. Sounds like it will be heaps of fun.

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Camping with Jack

Welcome to our Jack Blog Hop! We are going to share with you, items from our Jack Paper Pack with various projects created by talented Close To My Heart Consultants.  If you are visiting from Brenda's blog then you are on the right track, if not please head back to visit Carol's blog where this blog hop begins. Jack papers were a bit of a challenge for me, especially after my enjoyment of working with Prickly Pear last month.  Luckily I enjoy a challenge and have one layout, and a process video, to share with you here (there are some other pages and projects shared previously on my blog - after the blog hop you can pop back and check them out). The challenge here was using 3 photos.  I have become adept at choosing just one photo that tells a story and adding journaling so I don't always need lots of photos on a page or two. But as this was about an event, there were more photos to place.  I made use of the Camping Life stamps for embellishing and addi...
