I am looking for your fave stamp/scrap room tours as I am planning to revamp my area a bit. Can you share your favorite tours? I've seen Jennifer McGuire's. Thanks!

I'd love to see some more tours too, but especially of smaller, less dedicated spaces and/or people with far fewer supplies. Somehow I don't find it that much easier to organize when I only have 5 punches - I'm not able to dedicate a whole section/solution just to one thing, but I don't have so little that organization doesn't matter.

I scrapbook at one end of our long, narrow LR. Here are two photos. I admit to having more Iris case/drawers in the basement!  20170718_101714 by Mikk Lynn, on Flickr  20170718_101704 by Mikk Lynn, on Flickr |

mikklynn thanks for sharing! That looks like a great space, tucked away but still part of the action. I love your National Parks artwork. (I envy all your wall space. My house is a weird little thing - lots of big openings for doors and windows in every room. It make furniture and artwork placement challenging.) What do store in the black file drawers? Are those the drawers Stacy Julian uses for the LOM system?

I ❤️ the black drawer cabinet. Lovely space. I'll post a picture of my space today, which is also in my living room. Someday I will take over the man den upstairs as my boys move out on their own.

So I went down a YT rabbit hole for a while... Elle Wood's space is quite lovely - bright and cheery. Smart Fun DIY does a lot of organizing by color, has a lot on display. Her space is crazy! It's the opposite of what I was looking for - huge, very dedicated space, and so much stuff, even if she has reduced by 90%. She also has a lot of space devoted to filming which most of us don't need, but I liked her color drawers and shelves. Mercy Tiara has an extremely detailed (2 hour long) tour! but also a shorter version that's only 15mins. She does a craftroom tour most years. I've never seen this lady Koren Wiskman before, but she seems to have some really cool features in her space. She's not really a scrapbooker ( I think she's a cardmaker) but she has a lot of scrappy stuff and lots of markers and inks. Her video is about an hour long and pretty chaotic - kids interrupting, husband adding details - but I got a few good ideas from it (fast forwarding a bit!) Clair Matthews has some cool paper storage and kit storage, lots and lots of Alex drawers and paper trays. The room layout is less useful - they have a shop and host workshops - but there may be some good storage ideas there. OK, brain full. I've gotta go play in my space now. |

Are those the drawers Stacy Julian uses for the LOM system? The drawers are a favorite score at a junk sale. It is a 1940's green (looks black in photo) vintage forms cabinet. The drawers are 9x12. I keep buttons, flare, enamel dots, Stickles, anything small enough to fit. I love that there are label holders on each drawer. I love that art, too. My LR has wall space, but it's kind of an awkward length room. The good news is my IKEA table/desk fits behind the sofa. |

That't the one I was looking for this morning! I couldn't remember her name or anything, just her accent and the lovely room. |

All these spaces look really nice ... neat, clean, organized, and unused. Not even some work in progress. Maybe they're all tuckered out from cleaning their space.

I've gotta go play in my space now. wow. great videos. i really liked koren wiskman's space--so pretty, so functional-i dont care for spaces that have a lot of fluff, like framed "Breathe" images and such--i want a space where every inch is used functionally. i loved her metal wall that she stuck things too--i need my stuff visible or it doesn't get used, so i can absolutely see that being useful in my space. plus, i could put all my dies up on it! thank you for all these links!! |

Maybe they're all tuckered out from cleaning their space. i agree. while i want my space to be attractive, i consider it an art studio--so there's paint on the tables, scraps on the floor, and while it's organized, it is USED. A LOT. Love your space, Don. |

Thanks for sharing these links! There are a couple I hadn't seen even after my Sat morning YT marathon. I'm not a retrohipmama fan in general, but I loved that her space was genuinely small, right in her living space, and her supplies were fairly reasonable (not overflowing, but plentiful enough). She had some good simple ideas for maximizing space. I had just found one of those little shelves that she had on her desk in my basement and I'd popped a few things on top to create the little bit of extra space on my desk. Plan2Create had a lovely space too, and I loved that at the very end she showed what her table looks like mid-project. Her Martha Stewart island drawers were awesome. I loved that she had her PL album open in one of them - easy to access but out of the way. She has more drawers in that one room than I have in my entire house (literally! we are very drawer deficient). I'm close to ODing on craftroom videos but I might still give Inkie Quill a chance. My space is a folding table + a wheeled not-Raskog cart in the corner of my dining room (recently moved from the living room) and I'm trying to figure out how to make the most of it. It's a very challenging space to lay out with almost no wall space and it's basically the central hallway of our no-hallway bungalow (doors to living room, kitchen and office/bedroom). Hubby and I have a plan to rig up two folding tabletops with a gap in between where I can slide a few things out of the way. If it works we might invest in better tabletops. I still need to find a good spot for my card inventory boxes, but after watching so many vids this weekend I made a great space for my shipping supplies and two reams of cardstock. I think the next steps are to clean out my cart and the really wide drawer in the sideboard and then prioritize which supplies go where. |
