Craft Room Organization| IKEA ALEX 6 Drawer Unit

Happy Sunday!  I shared a video over at my YouTube Channel the craft items that I am storing in my Alex 6 drawer unit that I purchased from IKEA.  Like a lot of us, I like to see how everyone organizes and stores the crafty goodies - and this unit is my newest addition in my craft room!

I hope this may give you some ideas of some organization in your craft space!!  I will be back on Friday with a very special blog post!!  So, stay tuned!!

New items, and changes in my craft room

Hi all! I am back this evening to share with all of you my newest addition to my craft space. Right after the New Year, my hubby and I took a trip to Springfield, MO which is about 1 1/2 hr. from me to do a little shopping and cash in on some coupons. At Michael's they were having a sale on all of their storage, including all of the JetMax storage. I bought this magazine organizer, because I didn't have anymore room in my other storage for magazines, and I knew I would be growing with my magazine collection as time went on.

Last weekend, I felt in the mood to change around my craft room some, and clean out some things. I have been purging some supplies, and things I don't use anymore, too. So now all my Jetmax cubes are all on one wall when you first come into my room.

Like many of us - we all probably have more paper than we will ever use, but I know for me - even though I have lots of paper, it is hard to say no to a 6 x 6 paper pad. They are the perfect size for card makers. It seems you don't waste as much as you would obviously with a 12 x 12 or an 8 x 8 piece of pattered paper or cardstock. Well - I just wanted to share my love of 6 x 6 paper pads, and believe me this collection is growing too.

And, I also love the way Stampin' Up has their cling stamps now. I rarely buy a wood mount stamp anymore. It is funny - when I started out doing this over 2 years ago, I only wanted wood mount stamps - and now that has totally flipped!!

I love my space. It is my safe haven for sure!! A place where I can come, and relax, and whether or not I am making something or not....if I am in my room just surfing the web, tending to my blog, or what ever it is...just being in my space makes my heart happy!!! Maybe sometime soon I will do an updated video as well.

OK- That is all from me tonight!!! See you all on the flip side!! :)

Quick Update to my craft room.

Afternoon all!!  I wanted to quickly share with you a new video I have posted on my YouTube Channel of my craft room, and a few projects I have completed.  If you are a regular reader of mine, some of the projects you have already seen through my blog, but I am trying to populate my name out there in the craft community, and thought I would share some cards and other things with others that have not seen them.

Anyhoo - here is the link to the video!!  Have a great rest of your Sunday!!  Here is also a link to my Channel -  YouTube Channel

See you soon!!

Craft Room Videos are up!

Hi all!  Well, I have finally come through with my videos!  First- Happy Valentines Day to you all.  I received lovely flowers from my hubby today at work.  They smell so good!!  I am leaving them at work because I can enjoy them more there and at home where my cats would get into them. 

 I have been promising for a couple of months now that I would do some videos on You Tube, and I finally broke the ice with doing a Craft Room Tour.  I won't lie- getting the videos loaded onto You Tube was a bit of a pain, but that is because of my own ignorance in not knowing how to do it at first.  Now I shouldn't have any problems. 

So- here are the links to the videos.  Enjoy everyone!!  I will be back in the next day or so with a card share!!  Take care and be good to one another.

Stay Inspired!

New craft storage

Hi crafters!- I just wanted to share with you my new storage cubes I purchased yesterday at Michael's.  They were having an awesome sale on just about everything.  I had printed out some 40% off coupons, but did not need them, because they already had these jet max cubes for 40% off.  I was so happy.  I am just starting out with 6 cubes, which is good for me for now.  I have of course seen them everywhere and just hoped one day I could have these clean looking storage cubes for my craft room too.  So- here is my set up..what do you all think??

 

I am super proud to have these cubes.  It was a good trade.  My hubby got my old storage 7 drawer plastic containers, so he could do some organizing of his own in the back bedroom where all of his computer parts, and supplies are.  I am glad that I am rubbing off on him with this organizing thing.  :o)  Well- just wanted to share that with you.  I will be back tomorrow or the next with another card share.  Hope everyone's weekend has been great.  Until then, stay safe out there if you have snow or ice around in your area.  Bye for now!

 

Stay Inspired!!,

Craft Space

 **Addendum**- I have since updated my space a little bit since I purchased the jet max cubes.  I will take updated picks soon.  Not much has changed, but wanted to update this post.   - Kari 1-25-11


Hi blog readers!- I thought it would be fun to share some photos of my craft space.  I haven't officially done this, and thought you all might be interested to see where my crafting takes place. SO- without further or do....

This is the main view when you enter into my room.  It is a small room- but I am blessed to have this space.  My hubby was sad at first when I really was serious in started crafting- and "took" away his computer desk, but he is fine with it now.

The next two photos are just closer shots at where I store my punches, and my ink tools for distress inks.  Then you see my embellishment center.

In the three tiered  basket is where I store my distress inks, and my cat eye inks, and Smooch brush inks.  Then to the right in the pink organizers is where I have my clear blocks for clear stamps, pop up dots, other adhesives, and lots of other little loose things and tools.  Then, to the right of those is my turntable caddy that I purchased from Michael's with a 40% off coupon.  LOVE, LOVE this thing.  I would be lost without it.  It houses my Glue Glider Pro, the only Copic Markers I own ( which is slow growing), my We are Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, glitter/gel pens, brayers, paint brushes, etc.

This is directly behind me, and this is where I store/keep all of my paper.  I also have a BYGEL rail in the middle of the wall there and I made my own "Clip it UP".  This has most of my clear stamps, letters, and other stickers, and embellishments. Then, on the shelf above it is my mat stacks, and 8 1/2 X 11 card stock, and on the tables are my 12 X 12 papers, and my inspirational magazines.  And last but not least....

This is where I store my embossing folders, and my dies.  I bought this at Pier One many moons ago, and I used it for my CD's, but now I have only ways of storing those, and put this to good use for my folders and dies.


Well- that is an overview of my craft space.  I love it mostly.  I have areas in the room, but it is just the places where I store my stamps, and ink pads, etc, and they are in the Sterilite 7 drawer plastic containers that you can get just about anywhere.  Maybe I will do a video walk through, but for now, this will have to do!  Thanks for checking it out!  Later my friends....

Stay Inspired,
