Andrea's Studio

 Andrea submitted her studio a few weeks ago and immediately wanted to featured it but I wanted to do it properly so it has taken me a few weeks to find the time to do so.

The room is 11 x 10.

One thing I loved is that Andrea has a lot of tools that are usually hard to store but she has them out and ready to use without being an eye sore.

Like all the die cutting materials.

I love this trolley to store paper by colour.

Suzanne's Stamping room

Love it! I will let Suzanne explain it.


All my cabinets except those on the right wall are built on casters and actually roll into different configurations so that I can change the floor plan when I have friends over for classes.  The walls are a pale yellow and the floor is a dark black hardwood.  All trim and cabinets are white. The tile on the cabinet tops are 16 inch floor tile and are not fastened down so that I can change the configuration of the cabinets as I like.  The words on the walls are vision, art, dream, and imagination. I hope you enjoy looking at my space - I have enjoyed showing it off.

Small embelishment storage

I like to have my small embelishments visible and handy so I don't forget I have them, I also like to be able to bring most of them to my work table where the projects are so I can try several so here's the way I store them


Inside small jars on a tray that sits on my cabinet. The tray was purcahsed at a home decor store, the containers are from the beading section at the craft store, they come in a pack of 12 inside a larger square box


Here's a close up of the tray.

Card Candy Store

One of the great things about going on air on QVC UK in the craft hours is that I get to use some top products like the ones from Craftwork Cards. Last time I was on air, I did the Card Candy store.

I fell in love with it. It is so neat. Its a plastic box that contains 13 ATC boxes full of Card Candy, one of Craftwork Cards really cool card creations.

It is a pretty useful way to store them, but more importantly, at £20.51 so you basically get storage boxes for free.

Card Candy is a die cut and shaped card that you can use to decorate card and do so many different things. You can check out Julie Hickey's blog as she is the master of Card Candy.

Also, Craftwork Cards sell direct, so if QVC is out of stock you can get it from here.

What's inside?

Hi! I'm Marie and I'm so excited to be contributing to the Crafty Storage Blog.

I've been crafting and organizing for ages!

I can't wait to show you some fun organizing and storage ideas.

Have you got drawers full of stuff? Of course you do that's why you're here!

I really like this idea of using a photo of what's inside and putting it on the outside for quick and easy access.

Here's where I keep my craft sponges:

The drawer on the left has string, hemp and twine and the drawer on the right has mini pens!

Note: These are drawer inserts that go in the Making Memories Embellishment Center.

Melissa Frances

I love pretty storage although I prefer practical ones. But If you would like some of the pretty ones, Melissa Frances, a canadian scrapbooking company, does it beautiful.

Laura Vega embellishment storage

For those like me that like everything practical, Laura Vega's studio is a wonderful example of how it could be.

I particularly like how she stores her stickers and other similarly packed embellishments in little pretty baskets.

Or in pretty jars.

Making Memories Blog

Making Memories blog should be visited often as they do sometimes entries about storage.
Here you have two samples from Wendy. As a proud owner of desktop organizer I can tell you that is lovely and very useful, specially for storing/displaying new-items-to-use-as-soon-as-possible!


Vertical storage for 12 x 12 " is my favorite too at the moment. Wendy writes about how her system works.

Right now, if I could choose a studio this one would be it:
