Scrapbook Studio

The items pictured here inspire me so! The little cream buckets and rack came from the Ikea kitchen section. The little jars are filled with my small flowers. I am in love with Prima flowers, when they first put them on the market they came in the cutest containers, like the cute clear buckets shown here. There is a section on top that holds matching buttons for the array of colors. I found the little cream tray that fit the bottles of Prima mini flowers, even the lids are adorable. The black frame sectioned shadow box to the right holds various embellies. I found these at Hobby Lobby and painted them black. There is a nifty latch on the side that holds the door closed so it can stand up. The container keeps things in view for inspiration!

Paper Storage, Paint Storage

I have a lot of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock left from when I owned my scrapbook store and there was no 12x12 paper out there. I still use the sheets on pages. The file drawer is perfect for the paper to be easily accessed. The pink boxes above are wooden and come unfinished from Ikea. I have specialty 8 1/2 x 11 papers in these, such as vellum, parchment, ivory, black and white.

For the Making Memories paint I purchased an expandable tiered teak shelf riser from The Container Store and used half on the top shelf and half on the bottom to give me clear access to my scrapbook paints. I love customizing my chipboard with this paint. I can add glitter to them as well. Sometimes I drag out my Tim Holtz and distress them after painting them. Scrapbooking is such a great creative outlet which melts stress!
