Let's get Organized :-)

By Cindy
Hey kids!  Can you believe it's March 1st already?!  I can't.  I'm going to share some organization ideas with you today.  The first one is for paper kits or small collections of paper and embellishments that all work together.  I am lucky enough to have an extra bedroom in my house that is my craft room.  And I recently cleaned out the closet and got it all in order.  Phew, what a job.  I should have taken a before picture.  But, trust me-- it was bad.  Over the years, I have gotten a few warehouse boxes of goodies and Santa sacks from October Afternoon.  So, I went looking for big baggies to store things in.  Found some at Target.  2 Gallon size.  Life changing moment for sure!!! LOL!
  
And I bought clear skirt hangers at Target as well.  They come in packs of 4 (I think they were just a little over a dollar a piece).  And here's what I did :-)


I put a label on the first hanger in each section to separate the brands.

And here they are hanging in my closet.  Nice and neat and dust free.  I can just look through really quick and get what I need.  Now that I can see what I have I'm using it all so much more.  So happy!



And here is a pretty basic one.  You've probably seen this before.  Just in case you haven't.  This is how I store my extra basic crafty supplies and some of my kids crafty stuff, too.  It's really a shoe organizer.  Got this at Target, too.  Love the pink :-)  And it just hooks over the door.  Easiest DIY ever!
 
Well, I hope I've inspired you to get organized or given you some ideas.  Thanks for stopping by today!

    What an awesome idea!!! I have my scrap papers (bigger pieces) in Ziploc bags and sorted by category (masculine, feminine, etc)....they are taking up room on a shelf right now, but I like the idea of hanging them MUCH BETTER!!! That would make them eassier to see and to get to. Thank you so much for sharing this AWESOME and CREATIVE idea!!! :) Hugs...Janie

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
