Some photos of my scrap space

This is some of my scraproom/dining room. We still use it as a dining room, but since we only eat in here for special occaions like holidays and birthdays it's used more as my scraproom. Oh, and MJ does his homework in here everyday. I ran out of light and MJ was doing homework while I was taking photos so I didnt get to show the table or full shots of both of the Expedits. That will come tomorrow hopefully.














This is showing some of my big Expedit. You can see my photo files on top. They don't hold photos but theme stuff, like Christmas, Baby/Family, Love, Fall, Summer, Vintage/Vintage style ephemera etc. There is also two containers with most of my Sizzix dies in them. On the left top is my three hole punch and one of my vintage blue milk glass containers.














This is on the top of the big Expedit in the right hand corner. I have my sequin in the antique ball jar and my Christmas reciepts in the vinatge blue milk glass container. Behind that is my blue Bind-it-all.















This is on the second shelf of the big Expedit. It has my Prisma colored pencils, my old EK markers and some of my 7gypsies stamps. The container I have the pencils and markers in is from the green room at Ikea. It's supposed to be a planter.

















This is most of my frequently used tool. I have all of my blue scissors and rotary trimmers in here. I also have some of my small shaped brads, some blue glitter and metal buttons in the white jar. There is a vintage straw holder in the back with my chalk pencils and in the front is an antique letterpress block with the cutest little girl.














This is one of the top shelves of my big Expedit. It has a pretty green box, a little blue sewing machine MD gave me a couple of years ago for Christmas, and my N cup that I LOVE. My little Wubie gave it to me for Christmas last year. It has an N because she calls me Nennie.














This is one of the top shelves in the big Expedit. It has a pretty little container I made at the Melissa Frances booth at CHA last winter, a bunny that stores the ribbon I plan to use to tie the tags I'm making to label the Branas baskets in the Expedits, my Ranger Spinner, an album, and a few other things.















This is another one of the sheleves in the big Expedit. It has all of my SEI buttons, my pink buttons, some beads, my SU watercolor pencils and some of my gel pens. I really like the B mug and the vintage blue tumbler.














I collect buttons. This is just some of them. I use so many of them when I make my Button Frames that I can justify having so many :P.














I really like the blue scale. How pretty is that?!:)














This is the top shelf of the small Expedit. I have some of my blue albums, buttons, beads and a couple dozen blue pencils in there too.






















This is the place I store all of my smaller things. It's my fabulous Library Card Catalog that I got from Cal State San Bernadino a couple of summers ago. Of course I had to label the drawers with blue.














Ribbon, ribbon...














and more ribbon:) I love ribbon.














Lace and extra 3x5 chipboard cards for more ribbon. I love this photo.














Multicolored ribbons.














Blue and Green Ribbons














Lavendar/Purple, Pink and Red ribbons














Orange, Brown, Black, Cream, and Yellow ribbons














Multi Colored ribbon. This drawer has holiday/occaision specific ribbons, like Chritsmas, Fourth of July, Baby, Birthday, Valentines Day etc.














I have a thing for playing cards. So, I have a whole drawer full of them.























Smaller containers of glitter














Pigment powders





















Large Bookplates













Watercolors and chalks in this drawer.














E beads. I use alot of these when I make my Button Frames.














Seed Beads and a little bling. I use the seed beeds when I make Button Frames too, and I have been known to spend over 5 hours beading a layout :0.





















Chipboard tags.





















Journaling blocks. I have most of the journaling sticker blocks filling one of the Branas baskets in the big Expedit.














A drawer full of sanding blocks. Looks like I have a lifetime supply.














Metal signage. The dog tag tin is full of Lil Davis and Making Memories signage and I have more on my lazy susan.














A Drawer of Bling. Not all of it, theres a bunch of it in my scrap bag, tool bag and on my lazy susan in old spice jars too. That photo will come tomorrow. I ran out of light to take all the photos I needed to.














Replacement blades, rotary blades and a rotary blade sharpener. If you don't have one of these and you use a rotarty cutter, this product is the best. It saves so much money on replacement blades.














Big jars of glitter and small jars of embossing podwers. I can't fit my big jars of embossing powder in here unfortunately.














This a little bit of my dry adhesive. I don't keep my atg refills in here. I buy them in bulk so they need their own drawer.





















This is the bear my little Wubie and MJ gave me for Christmas. They bought it at Build-a-Bear and spent much too much money on it. MJ chose the bear and the name; Sparkle (because she has sparkly fur) and my little Wubie chose the outfit; naturally sparkly and fluffy. It's my favorite color and I love it. I haven't decided on where it will go.
