Jennifer Mcguire (one of my favorite stamping designers) has a post here with storage questions and answers in her blog from her readers. Worth a look!

Jenn's studio

Jenn has lovely and simple storage ideas and you can see loads of photos here (Flickr)
I love how Jenn has decorated her drawer set to sort die cut alphabets shapes, here, and the rail system allows her to have at hand paints and tools, here.

Just because...

... I have received some emails and comments on other websites, I need to make some changes and made things clear in this blog.

The intention of this blog is to share ideas on how to store craft items (scrapbooking, sewing, stamping...) from crafters. The intention was to post ONLY photos and text sent in by the authors or a friend with the authorization from the author. As it happened, more than once that didn't happen. I posted things thinking I had the permission from the author without having the written consent and therefore got into a little bit of trouble.
When I knew I did not have the permission I said so in the blog and commented that if the author had any problems with the link and photos being posted here, they should say so as there wasn't a way to contact them. I also would like to make clear that I never Hot-linked as I always download the photo onto my computer.

However, if someone posts something in Youtube they have to assume it can be imbedded in any blog, website that allows Youtube posting. It is not stealing ideas or anything. It is not a thing that is possible with Youtube, it is something that Youtube facilitates, actually I would go further and say that Youtube encourages embeding videos in other websites. Therefore, I assume that if something is in Youtube it is ok to posts as long as I don't receive an email saying the opposite.

So, for the future, I will only post entries that are one of the following:
- have been sent by the author of the idea.
- videos from Youtube (unless I receie an email requesting me NOT to do so!)
- and for all the others ideas just plain old links.

Of course that will mean much less entries, less pictures and so on. But I can not spend my time looking for pictures, then asking for permission, witing for it, and if they care to reply then post it. It takes too much time.

So, please send your ideas or just pictures of studios. They don't need to be pretty, nor amazing nor huge, just real life crafty storage.

Thanks to Renske and Debby for the award. I know it has rules in which I have to link to five more blogs. So just just have fun and go to any five blogs listed here!

Betty's Stamp Room

I think is worth to note that it is an small room (for US standards) but it is pack with products and lovely ideas on how to make the most of the space and store all the essentials.
Enjoy!

PS: I found the video in Youtube, so I have no link to the blog/website of the owner of this studio. Since it had the option of embedding the video I assume it is fine to post it here, but if you are Betty and are not happy about being featured here let me know!

Susan K.Weckesser' Studio

In Susan's words:

This studios came about because of my love of crafting and art and my concern of how the world is changing around us. I teach classes to all ages bot in my studios and online. I also travel a bit in order to kit. I like to emphasize the power that the scrapbooker really has. We see some many things through are camera that many other people don't see. As it says in my website we have the opportunity to do good with are work. This is what my studio and I are challenging all scrapbookers! We can do it!
