My Craft Space

For my Use It Tuesday post, click HERE

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!

The Craft It Up & Link It Up #6 over at Craftin Desert Diva's is all about showing our craft rooms so here it goes, haha!

My space is a small space. My daughter is away most of the year at college and I outgrew the living room so my loving daughter suggested that I use her room since she isn't here most of the time anyways.
I couldn't bear to take her whole room, so I limited my space to one wall and corner. 
That way she still has most of her room when she is home :) 

Here is my main area. I just have a fold out table for a desk, which seems to work fine for the space that I have. The bookcase to the right of my desk, holds all my paper and cardstocks as well as my cuttlebugs, cuttlebug folders and ribbons. My hubby made me that awesome little ribbon rack. It is 2 sided so there is the same amount of ribbon on the backside. Under my desk, in the white sterlite drawers is more paper. 
That holds all my 6x6 and 4x6 paper pads. The purple sterlite drawers, holds some of my stamps, extra spools of ribbons, stickles and wood stamps in the bottom drawer.
My dog Chief is my crafting buddy and is always back here whenever I am lol!

This corner by the wondow is my die cut corner. I have 2 bookcases that I positioned under the windows to hold my cricut cartridges. On the bottom shelf is my Cinch and my seasonal paper pads (mainly Halloween and Christmas). On top of the bookcases is my Silhouette, Cricut Expression and Printer. 
I also have a homemade "clip it up" that I made out of a show organizer on the left hand side of the bookcases.

 This is the little shelf that hangs above my cricut.
It holds all my Pearl strands, Tulle and lace.

These are the shelves above my desk. 
They hold more stamps, flowers, markers, spools of twine and adhesives. 

This is how I store my punches.
I just use one of those shoe organizers that hang over the door. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!
I really appreciate it!

Use It Tuesday #55---Can't touch This!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
Are you guys ready for another wonderful challenge from

Challenge #55--Can't Touch This.
Use a beloved favorite

I decided to make a little nugget tin that has a little encouragement to send to my daughter at college since finals are approaching. 



My beloved favorite, as well as hoarded supplies are:
  1. Nugget Tin from PTI. I absolutely love these little tins! I have a tendency to hoard them though cause I am so afraid I will run out of them lol!
  2. Patterned Paper from SU!. I received this paper from my bestie at least 2 years ago, and I love it so much that I never wanted to cut it up. 
I hope you will head over to Use It Tuesday and join us in this super fun challenge!

Always Be Yourself

Hi guys!
Happy Saturday!
Today I get to show you a fun little card made with those awesome CTMH stamps and the cricut for
 Dr. Phil Scraps.


I think this card is so darling to send to someone, no occasion needed :) 
For my card, I made my A2 sized card base out of purple cardstock. Then I simply stamped a border along one side using the houndstooth pattern from the Distressed Backgrounds (D1544) stamp set. I then cut a black rectangle and a white rectangle and layered them together and adhered to my card base. My dress/dress form was found on the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge and was cut out at 3.75". Before I adhered the dress to the dress form, I stamped my dress with the same houndstooth stamp and added a small bit of ribbon along the bottom on the back side. Then I adhered everything together and attached to my card and added a little bow to my dress. For my sentiment, I stamped "Always Be Yourself", which can be found on the Dream Big Stamp Set (D1399) onto some white cardstock and used a circle punch to punch it out and layered it onto a purple and black circle. Popped it up with some foam adhesive and added a few pearls to the exposed corners and Voila! Super cute card!

Here is a close up:
