Siobhan's Scrap Envy Cave!

We have recently stimulated the economy and bought some furniture...I was able to get some shelves that were more functional in a scrap room!
Looking into the scrap room from the dining room. The living room is just to the right of this view and the kitchen is directly behind. My house has a really open floor plan so I had to make sure that everything flows well together.

This is a second view into the room.

Another view looking in from the kitchen/dining/living room...

Cardstock storage and yummy massage chair~a girl must unwind! LOL! The closet in this room is mine too and there are shelves in it that are the complete width and depth of the closet but they are a mess and you don't get to see them~! LOL!

My scrap desk. It is a ScrapNCube set up and I LOVE it. My DH bought it for me a few years ago. The desk is 60" long and 26" deep! Each cubit houses it's own goodies and the cubit on the upper right houses my patterned paper. It is almost full but I can supposedly get 700+ pieces in there. In the others I store my metal embellies, buttons, ribbon, fibers, punches, embossing powders, stamps, inks, misc die cuts, Crop o dile, stickels and chalks. I store my ATG in the MM turntable now so the holder is an actual kleenex holder now and the paper trimmer is my one and only Craigslist find...a fairly local lady decided she liked her CM one better! $20 bucks! Hee hee!

E rack. The top shelf is reserved for my lappy when I am scrapping so that I can have it close but not taking up valuable desk space!

My large format Epson printer compliments of the Colorado Lottery!!! We won $200 on a scratch ticket and when I gave Shawn half he wanted his half put towards a good printer!!! Yippeee, we both won! This Expedit has small albums, Mommy's movies, magazines, Xyron, primas, skittles, and my Cuttlebug!

Middle Expedit has completed albums, video games and eletronics and of course a TV.

Another Expedit shelf with photo storage, cards, DCWV stacks, LO waiting for album homes, alchol inks, and embellies storage. I also have a tool caddy on the top which I store letters in

How my scrap room usually looks with Hunter playing video games!

This card was made for Amanda's Easter basket. I just thought the idea was too funny and knew I could recreate this in a card. The funny thing was, Amanda used the very same concept in her good morning message on Easter, before she opened her basket! Great minds think alike and I just loved being Amanda's partner!

Sympathy Card

My wonderful assistant Kathy recently lost her beloved aunt. This sympathy card is for her. I used alcohol inks and some cool mirrored paper that I found in Kansas City at a little stamp store. The butterflies are Cuttlebug.

I recently participated in an Easter Basket Swap on the Cricut MB, Night Owl thread. My partner, Amanda is just the sweetest gal! I made these cuts for her to include in her basket. Several of them I tried to personalize the best I could. Amanda I hope you enjoy them! I had a blast making them for you!










Tammy's Place Blog Candy

New Thank You Card

During spring break my Mom, the kids and I took off to Kansas City to see the cousins. This thank you card was made for my wonderful aunt who put up with us...err...hosted us! We had a blast in KC as always...and it was great to see everyone again!
