The Big Reveal


After several days of sorting, cleaning, organizing and dumping, I can finally reveal the new office studio! Ahhh...it feels so much bigger in here! The armoire is now home to the papercrafting supplies.



I managed to fit quite a lot in here. The drawers and cubbies hold supplies and embellishments. The shelves hold papers. Nice and neat!



And inside the armoire there's a nice area to do the actual stamping and card making. The best part? If I make a mess, I can close the doors and it disappears! Now you may be wondering...where are the stamps? Well, I put the two shelving units in storage, and I'm storing quite a few sets there. In my nearby closet, I have a much smaller shelving unit where I'm going to keep my "go to" stamps and the seasonal sets. I can rotate the stamp sets every few weeks, or just walk down to storage and grab a set that I'm looking for.



My desk area is now an actual working desk! I can type and print and talk on the telephone, and best of all, I have a great view of the rest of the house and the window to the front yard.

I was so inspired by my cleanliness that I made a clean card today!




This sketch was inspired by Mary Fish, SU demo and stamper extraordinaire. Mary has a really fresh approach to stamping. I love her clean and simple lines.

{recipe: stamps from Amuse Art Stamps, amuse twinkles, river rock ink and card stock, old olive and poppy card stock, SU paper, small oval punch, prisma markers}

Did you catch the photo of my desk? Did you happen to notice my awesome new desktop wallpaper on the laptop? That's a free download from my favorite friends at Gooseberry Patch! You can download a fresh desktop for every month! This month's holiday wallpaper is available by visiting their blog (you can find the link on the right under Inspiration!)



I hope my craft room makeover has inspired you today! Thanks for visiting the cafe!

  2. I couldn't resist reading about your 'edited' crafting space...what a breath of fresh air! I repurposed my Art Studio this past spring. It was
    taking over our whole family room and I felt that was not fair to my DH and DS's.

    So I took our step down pantry which is double door width and floor to ceiling shelves for my 'studio'. I can close the doors when I need to not see the creative 'mess'.

    Have fun creating in your new space
