Funky Storage!!

So...these past couple weeks I've really begun to notice that I'm totally growing out of my craft room!! I've tried to get my hubby to let me "take over" the dining room...but it was a no-go!!! Bummer!! So I've been really trying to figure out how I can store all my things, but in a really fun way!! And look at what I found after browsing some rockin' blogs!!

Remember these??



They are milk crates...aka filing box, toy box, the uses are endless!! Well take a look at this fabulous tutorial that I found to dress them up,here!! The best thing about them...they are stackable!!!

So, this is what I did with mine!! Of course I HAD to have the bright funky colors!!! I absolutely LOVE them!! I will totally be making more as I get my craft room arranged the way I want it!!




And then I made this too....to store my ribbon!! No, that's not all my ribbon...lol it's what I bought the other day!! They were having a fabulous sale and I went a little overboard (I've already used 1/2 hehe)!!




I will take more pictures once I get my craft room all pretty!! Right now it looks like a tornado got locked inside!!! EEk!!

On Cloud 9

I am beyond excited today!! It has been a very AMAZING day!!
I have been busy competing in the ScrapStreet Star contest for the past couple weeks now!! The challenges were amazing and very inspiring!! Well, I'm excited to say that I was announced the "ScrapStreet Star"!!!! I was completely speechless when I saw the thread!!!
And to top it off...I was asked to join their magazine staff!! So make sure you head over there and check out this amazing magazine!!! They are full of FABULOUS ideas and the group of ladies in the forums are so much fun!!!!

Where has the time gone??

Wow...has it really been 2 weeks since I updated last??
With my son starting soccer...my husband (me) hosting a bi-monthly poker night, a weekly parenting class (Growing Kids God's Way...absolutely AMAZING and highly recommended!!!!)...the weeks have seem to be flying by!!
Can you believe April will be over in just a couple days?? Crazy!!

So...with the start of May, that means Mother's Day will be drawing near!!
So make sure you check back later this week and next for some more Mother's Day cards!! I've got lots to make (for all the guys at my hubby's work) so there will be lots to share!!!

Showing it off....

So these past couple days I've been really thinking....
"Do you show off your work around your house?"

I it hanging on the wall or out on display?? I'm really horrible about this!! My albums are all tucked away and I'm sure no one but me (and maybe not even me) knows where they are!! I rarely make little "wall hangings" of my children!! Well...that is going to change!! I really admire my work and want to start having pieces around my house!!

This wall hanging I made for the April "How To" class at Paper Popsicles!! I totally LOVE how it turned out!! These past couple weeks I've been "slowly" re-decorating my kitchen!! After the gloomy winter this year I needed to spice things up with bright colors!! So this will be proudly displayed on my wall!!!

CD case mini album

First of all I'd like to apologize for "falling off the face of the earth"!! It litterly happened!! My laptop took a dumper a couple weeks ago and just now got it running again!! It still is having a little issues, but hopefully we can get those fixed really soon!!

Anyways, last months "How To" class over at Paper Popsicles showed you how to make a CD mini album!! And let me tell you...what a blast it was!! Here's how mine turned out...ummmmm, most of you know that I can't exactly scrap "flat" so I had to add a ribbon tie so it would close!! lol

To learn how to make one stop on by the "How To" forum!! And while you are there, take a look at this months class!!!
