Planning my scrap space

So this is the first month of the Scrapping Shoebox Organising challenge.

I’m going to be journaling my notes as I go along.

The first question is ‘What supplies do you have to have nearby when you scrap?

For me it’s adhesive, scissors, obviously paper and photos. At the moment I like to have a selection of bling nearby too.

Second ‘What do you use the most?’ Easy one – pattern paper. Embellishment wise, at the moment it’s bling.

‘what do you hate about where you scrap?’ Um having to pack everything up. I lost my dedicated space when Miss K was born so now I scrap at our kitchen table. Also everything is still out in what was my scrap room in boxes so if I want something I have to go look out there first.

‘How are your supplies currently stored?’ In boxes.

‘How would you like them stored?’ Out where I can get to them easily. More organised.

My Dream Scraproom

(This will happen when I win lotto LOL well hubby gets his gaming room so I  get a scrap room Open-mouthed smile)

Lots of storage – out in the open so I can see what I have.

A couple of tables with comfy chairs so I can have people over to scrap with me.

A couple of benches so I can set up my tools like my Slice, my Sizzix etc and not have to pack them away because of lack of space.

If you want to drool – check out Crafty Storage for some gorgeous craft rooms (& a few craft cubbies!)

The last bit was optional but was something I was doing anyway. I’ve been keeping the big boxes Miss K’s nappies come in (they are big enough for 12×12 papers!) and using them to sort my stash. At the moment I have one box for my pattern paper & cards stock, one for my albums and one for embellishments, which I’m sorting as I go into type (so all my ribbon in one bag, rubons in another, stickers in another etc.)

So that’s me for this month. Looking forward to March & tackling my paper stash.
