My Challenge Card and {organized} Stamp Room…
Apr 30th, 2008 by Jen
**FIRST…THANK YOU to all of you that commented on my post yesterday. I will have more commentary about all your suggestions later, but I just wanted to say THANKS. You all are AWESOME**
HOORAY!!…
I got to do the sketch challenge today and my stamp room is all put back together…not necessarily in that order, tho. First, here’s a pic of my card that I did for the SCS Sketch Challenge for today…
I had to change up the dimensions a little bit, because I was using an 8×8″ piece of patterned paper {DCWV Nana’s Nursery}. So, the long side measures 8″ instead of 9″. The stamp is from Hero Arts. I passed up purchasing it several times, but last time I saw it I knew it was meant to be. Don’t you love when that happens!?! It’s almost as good as when the stamps just leap off the shelf into your cart. 
The ribbon and ink are SU!’s Regal Rose and are a perfect match to the flowers on the DP. Again, love when that happens! As I sit and stare at this card, I think that I want to add some crazy stitching around the white on the inside. I’ll have to ponder that some more and maybe give it a go. I’ll be sure to re-post if I do.
Now, here is what I have been doing for the past couple of days. THANK YOU Susan for coming over to help me get through the “Oh my goodness, what have I started?” stage!!
Looking into the room…
From the top…stuff, stamps, paper, clear/unmounted stamps in cd cases, embellishments…
Pretty good shot of the stash of paper and ribbon I have. The stuff on top of the shelf going across is PTI stuff, ribbon scraps, magazines, more ribbon and a 3 drawer organizer with envies, bags and such in it…
Different View, a little more to the right…
The desktop…
From the top… stuff, random tools {light table, heat gun, glue gun, etc.}, Cricut and Cricut stuff, Cuttlebug and Bind-it-All and their stuff, Janome Sew Mini and sewing stuff.
Have I mentioned RIBBON!?!…
I have tons of alterables hidden away in cabinets and drawers, too. That is why I started ABC Friday…LOL!…to make myself work with all those fun goodies. Well, I hope you have enjoyed a peek into my stamping world. I am going to work on challenges tonight and hopefully have 2 cards for you tomorrow.
Great job on the re-organizing. I love to do that, you always find stuff you forgot you had. Also, I meant to comment yesterday, but….. anyway I love your blog. I’ve been hoooked on it for about 4 months. I love your inspiration and challenges. ~Julie
To start…LOVE you card and what a FAB room. Secondly, you were SO not kidding about your ribbon stash. I remember you were telling me about it at CHA *smiles*. Hugs girl!
Oh that is HEAVENLY!! Your room is so organized and just bursting with color. Thanks for sharing these photos. So inspiring.
Looks great! When can we all come over and play? :O)
Where did you get that great paper organizer? I must look into that… once you tell me what it is.
Enjoy your organized space!
Great stamp room. I’m jealous!!! Quick question…from the picture, it doesn’t look like all of your ribbon is stored in drawers. (There’s something with ribbon sitting on top of the drawer unit.) What other type of storage do you use? Again, great room. Thanks for sharing.
I love your stamp room. I’m soooo jealous. Quick question…It looks like you are storing some ribbon in something other than the 3 drawer unit. (It’s sitting on top of the three drawer unit with the ribbon.) What else do you use for your ribbon storage. Again, I love your room. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!! My room is so tiny compared.
Thanks for showing!!
Holy Crap! I am soooo jealous! Will you come organize my craft room???
That card is so pretty! Sweet and simple without being cutesey. Good for people who aren’t into super cute but do want something sweet.
And holy crap I love the stamping room. Can I move in? Some day I will have a room for my crafts I swear. And I’ll be organized enough that I could put things away. I vow this! For now I’ll just daydream about having your room!
Love the room! Mine is on its way to being that organized!!! Anyway, where did you get your paper holder?
I just love your blog! Thanks for sharing everyday!
I am now a fellow Texan, over in Rockwall! We just moved from FL.
Your room looks fantastic!! Can you come help with mine??
Thanks for the sneak peak. I love seeing how other people create, and where they do that creating.
fairly new to your blog. great cards and I LOVE how you organized!
WOW; you are SO organized….I’m getting there. This looks fabulous! Love the card too!!!
Ok, now I’m not only jealous of your stamping talent but I’m also jealous of your stamping space! LOL Awesome and kudos to you for getting it all done.
Ok, first with the card…LOVE the simplicity and the colors…your DP is just too fabu! Then on to your stamp room! Can you say smokin’! I LOVE the deep colors of the room. So relaxing. I have a room, but have put of decorating it because I don’t know what kind of storage to get and I devfinitely don’t know what color to paint it, but now…I’m leading towards a dark gree! LOL…
Thank you for the little peak into your creative spot!! It looks awesome…great card, BTW!!
The room looks welcoming. Everything looks easily accessable.
Do you always remove ribbon from the spool and roll it on the floss holders?
With the large window allowing the sun shine into the room, how do you prevent the card stock from fading?
Supwer sweet card…perfect colors! I *love* your stamping space!!!! It totally r*o*c*k*s!!!!
what a very sweet card. I love it. And what a big scraproom you’ve got. I think it’s just as big as our livingroom. My room is smaal and also our spare bedroom. But I’m proud to have my own room.
Jen, love the card, especially the scallop hanging off the side…will have to give that a try. Your workroom is great…thanks for giving us a look at how/where you store things…looks fabulous. Hope you enjoy your new organised environment. Cheers!
First of all, your card is adorable! It’s so sweet and girly!
Secondly, your room is fantastic! You have lots of cool toys!!! Can I come over and play?!?
WOW! That room is SO AWESOME! It must make it so easy to be inspired to make such great cards when all those things are at your fingertips! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas with us!
Blessings!
