Scrap Your Space

Happy Monday! You know what that means.....it's a new challenge for Scrap Tiffany! This week's challenge is to create a layout about your scrap space.

At first I thought I might just skip this one....I don't have a huge scrap room like others I've seen with all the latest and greatest storage options and huge counters....I have a little alcove off of our living area. But then I thought, wait a minute, it doesn't matter how big the room is where you create....all that matters is that you CREATE!

Before we moved from California, I used to have a big room all to myself! My very own room with shelves and tables for creating, with a closet for lots of storage. Then we we moved to Tennessee, we moved to a much smaller place, which was only a temporary place until we found something larger. Well, two years later, we're still here in our small home. It wasn't long after we moved, that I began to get crazy because I couldn't make stuff! I hadn't unpacked any of my scrap supplies because I thought it was going to be so short term and since I didn't have a place for it all, I just left it packed up in storage.

Well hubby knew I needed to get my hands back on my scrapping. He suggested we use the small area off our living room and just take out a few things that I really needed to keep me scrapping. I could never unpack it all because I had so much. So that's what we did! I have ended up adding even more since then because I'm in full swing scrapbooking and creating! And you know what? I love my little space. It's my little corner and my family knows to stay out! Don't be using my scissors, glue or anything else, without asking! So even though it's in plain view, I don't mind because it's what I do.

So, here's my layout about my li'l corner of my world!

I'm so very grateful for the space that I have. Because even though it's not the biggest or the greatest, I know there are others that struggle to create in areas even smaller than mine and others would love to have even the small space I do. So, I am grateful for my little corner!

Can you tell I like red? When my sister was here visiting last, she helped me reorganize everything. I purged soooo much stuff. We found these great red canvas boxes that are wonderful! I love how they look on my shelves and they hold so much.

For my layout, I created my own background paper using some gesso, some acrylic paint watered down a little, and some color wash sprays. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like how bright and "rainbow-ish" (is that a word?) it turned out but once I got my photos, papers and embellishments on it, I liked it!

So, now it's your turn! We want to see your space! Complete a layout or project about your space and send it to Tiffany so she can share it on the Scrap Tiffany blog! Come on....we want to see!

Have a great day!
