There was a recent discussion on Stampin' Connection about people's stampin' spaces. So I decided to take some pictures and show mine. I am so jealous of some of the other stamp rooms I saw on there. Part of me wishes we lived in an area where we needed to have a basement. I know that is a horrible reason to want a basement but then I could have a basement full of craft stuff. Maybe God will give me a great big craft room in heaven.
Believe me when I say it took me a couple of years to get my space to look even remotely decent. It is still always a mess but at least I have a place to store all my stuff. I only get half of the room because we use the other half for our computer, Eric's play station, our photo equipment, and a book shelf with all our books.
I purchased the white cubes from JoAnn's fabrics when they still sold them. Eric says I am famous for buying stuff right before they decide to retire them. I bought about half of the white cubes when all of a sudden they were no longer restocking them, thank God I found what I needed at my local scrapbook store and they were 50% off. SCORE! I then found the two white cabinets at Walmart. They are deeps so they are great for storing scrapbooks and much much much more craft stuff! It is amazing what I can fit in there.
I hung a couple of decorative scrapbook frames with scrapbook pages with my baby boy, my puppy, and Eric and I. I got the ribbon wall thing at Micheal's. I wish it held more ribbon because I love ribbon. I have more ribbon in my cabinets.
Well that is about it for my craft space. Hope you enjoyed seeing area where I create, although sometimes I have to move out to the kitchen table because I need more space.
Here is the final Flower Garden sample I made for club last week. I wanted to do simple so I embossed the Pear Pizzazz piece attached it to the Rich Razzleberry card base, tied a ribbon at the top, found a sentiment and added that to the card but it just looked to plain. So I outlined the the embossed image with a glue pen and applied Dazzling Diamonds, perfect! I wish you could see the sparkle.
I love to read so when I got a new book in April, I dug right into the book but after reading 6 chapters I thought I should save this for my vacation. I did great, I stayed away from my book but then I forgot about it on my vacation and never read it. Finally last week I got back into reading my book but someone named Malachi stole my bookmark. I looked all over for it but still never found it so when I started on making samples for the Big Shot club, I made a bookmark.
I've been pretty lazy about creating this month but when I have a class or a club meeting I am forced to get out of my rut and get to work.
There is hope for me, I am blogging again. Although now I need to get to creating. I haven't been stamping much lately. I do have a Strength and Hope Card Class next weekend, so I do need to design a couple more cards.
So it might seem like I went on vacation and never came back but I have been home for the past week and a half. Honestly I have been lazy. I keep thinking, I need to update my blog but then I think, I'll do it later. So later has finally arrived.

I know many people that have been affected by cancer. Some have been friends, while others have been family so when I found out that SU! was releasing a stamp set that would benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation I knew the stamp set was going on my order.
The Big Shot club meets once a month. At Big Shot Club you will make a project using a Big Shot die or embossing folder. You will also get to take home either a die or embossing folder. Each month will be a new die or embossing folder.
