A Pretty Place To Craft

My New Craft Room...

 

As promised I have finally taken some pic's of my new craft room.

I have spent lots of time sorting & purging things to be able to fit into my new craft space, plus a trip to Ikea was needed for a new drawer unit to keep all my wooden stamps.

 

 

In the top two desk drawers are my glues & tools, then ink pads & blocks, Fran-tage glitters & embossing powders.   

 

 

 

I have square card blanks & paper pads in the basket on my desk.

White & cream ribbons & flowers are stored in these pretty jars & all the other colours are kept in the drawers on the right hand side of the desk.

 

 

 

My Magnolia & LOTV stamps are stored in these small blue boxes. Dies are kept in the basket under my Big Shot machine. In the floral boxes are all my 12 x 12 papers sorted by company.

 

 

 

I keep my finished cards in this pink basket. My lace is kept in these glass jars.

 My magazines etc are kept in the pink files.

I need to make another trip to Ikea as I clearly can't count & need two more floral boxes.

 

I am glad to share my little craft space as I love to look at others.

 

Thank you For looking.

Hugs Karen x

Sarah Kay My Sweet Lili...

 

Hello & Good Morning I hope you all had a good weekend. We had a busy day on Saturday with shopping, haircuts & opticians appointments, so it was lovely to spend most of the day in my craft room with Jessica on Sunday.

 

This is the second card I made yesterday with another Sarah Kay stamp My Sweet Lili. Again purchased from The Hobby House a long time ago.

 

 

Papers are also Vintage Rose from Wild Rose Studio.

 Green & white roses & sea charm pearls are from The Hobby House.

 

I have glittered with crystal stickles on the roses & image but my pic's do not show how pretty it makes them look.

Hello & Good Evening.

I do hope you are all keeping well. I had hoped to post this card at the weekend but we had a very busy time. My Daughter & I went with a friend to see the Nutcracker Ballet on Friday evening at the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe. Then Jessica & I went shopping at Meadow Hall on Saturday while my Husband & Son went to watch Rotherham United at the New York Stadium. I spent most of Sunday cooking, cleaning. catching up on laundry, & ironing school uniforms, etc.
