The new scrapbooking space

New space, new configuration for furnishings. I love this unit on the right. The day care next door had to dispose of it because some of the plastic shelf supports had broken, making it hazardous for the little ones. We brought it home and added another set of shelves across the middle using angle irons and some recycled wood from the cellar. The small shelves on the end were made by my talented brother-in-law from a design by my sister. We added quarter round to it and now it holds my embossing powders.

No. 1 Grandson, older brother to Never Slows Down, joined me this week to work on art projects. He created a birthday card for his aunt as well as some coloring pages for his younger brother to color. With my table cleared, it's easy to find space for the boys to be creative also. Never Slows Down likes to turn the handle on my Big Shot and make letters.

Moving is soooo unsettling

In order to work and still have time to chase Mr. Never Slows Down, I'm in the process of moving my workspace down to the main floor in our house. Since it's shared workspace on the second floor, I'm having quite a time sorting and re-organizing.

This will be my inspiration area (Christmas projects and the holiday fair at church are year long efforts in my household). The playroom is through the doorway on the right. So much more to bring down and organize - sometimes I think I'll never be done.

Finally...the layout complete!

After sick children and busy days and moving my scrap area from the second floor down to the first, I was finally able to finish the page to go with my inspiration photo post! I haven't even finished sorting out and putting things away, but I was itching to get this done.

Tomorrow, both grandsons will be here - it's school break again.

Today's layout used alphabets by Jillibean and Thickers, die cuts from Kaisercraft and Creative Memories,journaling card from Bazzill Vintage Marketplace and some Disney papers that have been in the stash forever. I had seen the use of a banner as photo mats but it took me so long to get this done, I don't remember where I saw it.
