A peek in Lizzy's craft space

Yup! I know I LOVE taking a peek at other peep's craft areas...& there are ALWAYS ideas that we can pick up from each other, right? So here's a bit of both of these for you today:)
 I keep my 6x6 pads in a little box...inside a cut down plastic sleeve. Then even the 1/2 pages can be stored neatly without them falling out when I pull up a pad to use!

 I have a wee table near the door to 'show off' some of my work - or to place stuff I like to look at. No point in doing it if you can't enjoy it, right? It's also a storage spot for stuff that needs to be taken with me when I leave the room...just finished that page for a challenge & it needed to be loaded onto my computer! Ooops! That candle needs putting away...never said I was TIDY!!!

 Yeah, I know, I know---such a BASIC thing to do - a colour chart for your inks....& I kept 'meaning to do it'...finally did....pegged above my work space, so I USE it!!!

 To me, scrapping is about COMMUNITY, so when I get given scrummy stuff, I like to make sure I know where it comes from...also if I buy it...flair is hard to write on, but an ink marker works & I know where ALL my flair originates this way!!!!

 As for Flair storage....a couple of ways...above - magnetic strips from those dollar stores...I WILL make this 'pretty' at some stage, but I was testing if  it 'worked' for me...& it does - also hanging close by where I scrap..

 ...but I have too much flair, so the rest is stored in these babies....great for brads, buttons, resin, dots...

  I have a whole post on what I call my 'photo holder' over at LESSology HERE....suffice to say, I LOOOVE it....no more gluey, sticky, lost photos. They sit here SAFELY......

 My 'scraps' are colour co-ordinated & slip inside these files....easy. I now throw the really small bits out - unless I totally LOOOVE them!!


 Another 'nice' way of storing those smaller scrapping items - spice racks ROCK, as do these cute vintage glasses - all from the Op shop!! So is the little shelf they're sitting on. I'm going to do that up too, 'one day'....!!!

 Most of my stamps are clear, & most stored in baskets: Christmas/Birthday...vintage.....flowers......words.....Most Used...I'm sure you'll work out your own categories!!!!

 I pull out the centre from DOUBLE CD cases from the Dollar store - they MUST be double, & do this:

 Then I know exactly where they are from & when & what they look like at an easy glance!!!

And lastly, my Washi Tree - one of those old kitchen mug hanging trees...op shop again...I WILL do it up [cough] sometime......works for me!

Heavy on pics....hope this either helps, or is at least plain FUN to look at ......leave any ideas, hints, stuff you'd like to share as a comment...would love to read your ideas:):)
Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥

  5. This is fabulous Lizzy! Some great ideas! Funny how things that are important to some people aren't important to others.I think the only flairs I own are ones that I've won!
