Gab about Craft Storage

So my husband agreed that it would be a good idea to convert the closet in the craft room into extra craft storage. Yesssssss! Here is how it went down.

First I removed the doors.

Then clearing out the stuff!

Then adding the shelves.

Now the fun part, adding supplies.

I am beyond happy with the results!! I can see and access all of my supplies now and I'll probably add a little wall storage soon, but the bulk of the work is done! The final thing I need to do is to mount a curtain rod and put a drape across the door so I can "close" it when it's not in use. This could work in any smaller closet, it took me about 2 hours to do, I bought that shelf at the home improvement store for $24.99. Let me know if you have any questions, happy crafting!!!

Under the Sea Shaker Card

This card was done using the "No lines" coloring technique. No video today, but here is a step out.

Stamp your image in a soft, neutral color.

This is one of my favorite stamps, a mermaid from Stampendous.

I used a few Spectrum Noirs too.

I used Distress ink in varying colors to make the "water", I used a torn paper masking technique.

Shaker sequin selection! Those flowers are from a set I got at Target!

That's all, hope you're inspired to make something fun! Happy crafting!

Hi everyone! I promised a video about making that robot card and here it is! I used cardstock, markers, a stencil, Distress Ink, a robot stamp, some miniature gears, Ranger Glossy Accents, scrap acetate, foam tape, and a glue runner. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to leave a comment! Happy crafting.

A how to for you.

Hi everyone, I have started coloring more and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. The video below is for a masked stamping shaker card that I colored.

I was so happy with this that I asked for new stamps for Christmas! I am also going to be doing some examples like this with my own drawings soon, until then, here are a few other stamps I finished.
