I am in love with all the New Prima Flowers
Here are some of the newer assortments I have been collecting for the past couple months. I am now obsessed with them. I know this is crazy- but I just can’t help my self. They are too pretty to use. I used one whole package to create the Birdcage Album I showed in an earlier post. They are too pretty to use I just all I want to do is look at them.
Old Sewing Machine Drawers
About a year or so ago, my husband took the drawers out of an old Singer sewing machine that had belonged to his mother. The cabinet was not salvageable, but we kept the drawers. I saw them sitting in my husbands shed out back and decided it was time to redo them and begin to use them again in my scrapbook room. I wished I had taken before and after pictures. What was I thinking! Oh well, I am happy with the results and love where they are now displayed in my newly redone scrapbooking area. Perfect spot for them!!!!!!!!
The lighter pink is more the true colors. I guess it is just the lighting at the time my flash was on that gives the peach tint to them. I painted them white and then sanded them, applied pink acrylic paint and then roughly sanded them to bring out the under coat of the old walnut stain and gave them a shabby chic look, I really love they way they turned out. They hold a lot of fun things to create with.
Great Idea to display Ribbons
I recently saw on a blog that I follow an idea to store ribbons. I love having my eye candy out to inspire me to create and use up some of my prized embellishments, and ribbon and laces are my weakness when it comes to embellishments.
I changed it up a bit from the one I saw on the blog. She used chipboard and cut the partitions in the shape of a spool, which was a really cool idea, however, I had a lot of scrap clear acrylic that was left over from one of the classes I taught and thought it would be perfect to be able to see through the partitions and really show off the vibrancy of my ribbon and laces. Of course, this is not all my stash, but some of my favorite ones.
Below is my version of the above idea. I went crazy and made two. I love how they add so much color to my shelves. I am so loving them.
Maya Road Birdcage Album I created April 2010
I recently purchased from Scrappy Gourmet some Prima Flowers, Maya Road Birdcage album. I was anxious to work on this project just because I love the whole birdhouse craziness. I am awaiting some Spring photos from Tina to complete my album. I am having lots of fun creating with the new Prima Flowers, there are so many gorgeous new flowers to choose from, way too many for my budget.
I have a few more ideas in my “head”, not yet started, but soon!

More Reorganization
Recently my friend, June, employed me to take on the challenge of re-organizing her scrapbook storage closet. This is a work in progress. This job mostly consisted of un-cluttering in front of her existing closet. After a few hours she was able to access her closet. Future plans are to incorporate the 14x14 white storage cubes purchased from Michaels Craft store.
I will share a few before and after photos of the “work in progress!”
