I am toying with the idea to do a "how my craft space works" post, with pictures and ideas how I store my stash and have arranged my work station.

I will follow it up with your ideas if you would like to share them....

Please comment on this post if you would like to see some craft space ideas.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Trying out my new craft space

Hello!!

Even though I have had a bustling household, with all my extra, very special guests, I managed to steal a little of scrapping time over the last few days.  I had a DT Challenge for Scrap Inspire Create which is due today.

I love my new craft space!!!  The lighting is poor, but with a little help from a desk lamp, I am able to craft happily!!!

I am looking forward to many happy hours in my happy place!!!

Happy Scrapping

Some Layouts

Hi!!

I would like to share a couple of my older layouts with you.


This is a photo of Amy, my lovely little daughter.  She dressed up as a fairy for Halloween 2008.  We were in South Africa for a family wedding.  I love this picture so much, and it really didn't need much, just a nice title, some ric-rac ribbon and my all time favorite and often featured, prima and silk flowers!!!

This picture was taken soon after we moved to Dubai.  I just love the way Amy processed the sand...I printed my journalling on to cardstock, then cut it out and placed it on the page.  I created a "filmstrip" on the left hand size, by printing pictures the same size, attaching to cardstock and trimming accordingly.  I attached paper clips to the "filmstrip".

Thanks for your continued support during the "baron times" on the blog while I have been moving house!!!

Be creative!!

Jo

Khallas!!!!

It is so. I am done inshalla...no really, I am done, finished unpacking!!!  My new home is awesome, I am such a happy bunny!!!  I have a lovely garden, the grass is still growing in, but will be awesome in a couple of weeks.  I have a lovely craftroom, with an en-suite bathroom!!!  Before you drool, I have set up camp in the maids room (hence the bathroom attached!!)

I have a string of visitors arriving from Istanbul, London and Johannesburg within the next week, so I will be busy tour guiding around Dubai.  I can't wait to show my family (the ones who haven't been here yet) my home!!!

I have a few projects up my sleeve, including a video tutorial  with products available from Creative Hands.  It is guaranteed to brighten your craft area and make you smile....keep watching!!!

Please keep your layouts coming.  I would love to showcase your work in the Follower's Gallery!!!

Happy Scrapping
