Very excited today... Have done the 1st state of the redo in my scrap room/ Art Studio..

Moved the space over to another wall.   Went to home depot and got a 5x8 piece of plywood cut in half... (perfect size).


Here's another close up shot...  Everything was taken off the wall - I had a bunch of stickers (foam) I got off nice and smooth..
Pulled the LIME GREEN PAINT OUT.


Desk is painted... and stuff started to get moved over.




Used the cube storage and put the table on top...  Getting all that organized is for another day.


Got the shelves put up - as well as the Wall to hang additional items from.



 





Used velco and hung up a bunch of supplies.


And here's the final set up....  Alot of Green - and I just love it.
This will be an on going project - but much happier when I get everything in
in it's place...

HOpe you all enjoy.

DIY "Clip It Up" Check It out...

So while I have no issue at all spending money on a good organization tool - or tools at all....  I was having a very hard time Spending $65.00 on this Clip It Up Organizer... Plus of course I would want the top version because I always have to have it all...  And the price was just getting up... So I was searching around... and found a few DIY on Pinterest....  and came up with my own version.

Went to Michaels - they have a room decorating line that they are having 40% off (did this tonight)...  Got a lamp for $14.00

The Pinterest version was having you take out the lamp accessories... but I'm always looking for the best lighting - so I left it in to be able to use it...


Sorry I didn't take pictures during the process....  

A few other ideas where the Clips that they use in chip board albums
Or you can buy the Simply Renee...

But again the whole point was to keep this cheap so I bought a box of safety pins and then used my 40% coupon... so this whole project cost $17.72


Top view.


I hope you enjoy.. And don't forget - Save when you can... so you can spend it on quality products....

Looking forward to your comments.

Anything to help organize so you can see your supplies...

Exciting news I will be redoing my scrap area.../ room...  Will be posting from start to finish.
So make sure you check out my room progress....


Mixed Media Journal Page Love Can Bloom 3-4-13


 Loving loving how this page came out....   It was actually one of my first journal pages when I just started and after all the techniques I've been learning I really wasn't happy with it - so I did what I have seen so many amazing Mixed Media artist do... I covered it and started over...


Added Tim Holtz Tissue Paper and used Modge Podge to glue it down and then covered it and used the hot glue gun to dry it.

Then I did some spraying with Dylusions Inks and some paper towels..


Then pulled out a bunch of stamps - plus my new favorite Donna Downey Foam Stamps


Then.... Since I'm trying very hard to actually use my stash of supplies... I pulled out my Flower Soft product and glue - and my gosh how it pops...


Close up page.



Adding stickers and ranger distress inks



Now added some Gelatos
And washi Tape


The final look..

Hope you enjoy..
