Project Life Week 9 and storage ideas

Hi All, Happy Tuesday. I am back with my Project life Week #9 Post.  I am loving the Studio Calico PL Kit.  For this week's layout, I used mostly SC February PL Kit, some Studio Calico Printables (From some classes and other offerings). I also used some Printables (That I cut out in advance), some SC Here and There Die Cuts also on this week's LO.

This week was a pretty slow week and I did not have too many photos, so I did use quite a few filler cards this week, which I love...:))

As usual, I am playing along with Kristin's Currently Challenge and I am also linking this up to "The Creative Mom" Blog. Sadly, I do not have a freebie today either. It was a bit busy week.

Here are some Close Up's from this week,

Now for my storage idea...I saw Ikea Raskog Cart in Pinterest a while back and lot of Studio Calico members have been buying it and it looked like the perfect idea for PL Storage. So, without further ado, I went to Ikea and picked up the Raskog Cart yesterday and today morning, I assembled it and organized my stuff as well. Felt so good. Here are some pics.

The cart with my PL Goodies,

The Top Shelf has two Krus (9x7x3) Containers with dividers and it holds all my stickers, labels, tags etc. The front two portion of the shelf also holds my ink pad, date stamp, some washi tape and some left over card stock etc. The side has my corner chomper and Tim Holtz Stapler.

The Middle Shelf has an Antonius Insert and it holds most of my PL Cards (From Becky Higgins Kit, Studio Calico Kit, Snap, AE Journaling cards etc). The front center holds all the different flair buttons that are still in the package. The back portion also holds my 6x6 paper pads and some other over sized items.

The bottom Shelf for now holds a mug with some of my pens and tools and a Godmorgon Storage Unit from Ikea (Totally inspired by a SC Member, will look up her name). These are thin sheleves and I use them to store my die cuts, flair and other knick knacks. I printed a bunch of printables esp labels and cut them out and this is the perfect storage for them. there is some more space in the back for some paper pads etc.

Here is a close up of the die cuts and cut out printables,

I am so happy and excited about my storage. I hope you like it as well and would love to hear form you about your storage for PL.

Thanks for stopping by,

New Craft Room

**Warning - Picture Heavy Post ***

I recently moved my scrapbook/stamping room from the guest room into the game room. My dear husband did the majority of work with the painting and putting laminate flooring in the game room. I was lucky and blessed to get some Ikea furniture for storage. So, without further ado, here are some pictures of my new craft room.

On the right hand side corner of the room, I have a Billy Bookcase from Ikea filled with SU, GKD, Ippity and Verve Stamps, Ribbon spools and some misc things. I also have a 1x5 Ikea Expedit Cube to store my papers in. I have two IRIS Storage carts stacked on top of each other. These store themed embellishments and stickers etc. There is an Antonius cart from Ikea next to my desk in which I store Glue/Brads etc.

Here are some pictures of my table, with ink and copics, PTI Stamps, the corner Galant table that we got from Ikea and the Alex Drawers.

I have some of the older Michael's storage cubes and the bigger expedit in the other corner.

I am so happy with this new place. I will post more on how I have organized things and also the contents of the drawers etc.

Last but not the least, Bella happy in the new place as well,

Thanks for stopping by and having the patience to go through all the pictures :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday,

Organizational Friday

The new buttons introduced by PTI has been awesome. First of all it is a variety pack, so you can play around with different styles of buttons and second it matches with their card stock making it a breeze to use in cards and scrapbook pages.

I was just keeping those buttons in the small zip lock pouch it came in, but was not totally happy with that storage idea. Yesterday as I was grocery shopping in Wally's, found this real neat Spice Rack - stainless steel with Glass Jars - 18 of them and fell in love with it.

I took out all the spices, washed the jars, dried them and viola - a cool new storage for the PTI buttons.



I stuck the corresponding color CS on the lid of the Jar to cover the spice name. Each color button sack needs two jars. So I can for now keep 9 colors in this until I need to buy another one. Here are some pictures,
