Welcome to Jackie's Craftroom

Welcome to my blog. A place for me to share my love of cardmaking, scrapbooking and bug covers with all my friends. Take a look around and see what I have been creating. I am a member of the Cricut MB, it is almost an addiction ;)
I love designing and making cards, dabble in scrapbooking and make the original reversible covers for all types of crafting gadgets.

My Happy Place = My Craft Room :)

Craft Room Sneak Peek #3

Here are the storage unit I have chosen for my all papers, I have two of these. Yes I have way too much paper. Did I just say that out loud LOL.
They are from http://www.bestscrapbookshelf.com/?action=view_catalog&Join_ID=106418 (Us distributor) I got mine from the Australian distributor, http://scrapbooking.arnolds.net.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=193&osCsid=88akoc4ok8egv7tgbs400555p6 They have great service and Karen is a great person to deal with.
I will have my two units set up to hold all my papers, but there are drawers available in 1", 2" and 3.5" depths. Which you can also add the drawer inserts, great for all those small embellishments and the like.

Guess how many of these little suckers I need to use in the the two units, 696 of them and they just don't slip in, no! I need to gently persuade them in with the hammer :)


I finally got the second unit together. I might have to start filling it up SOON :) As always Mutley had to get in the picture. But isn't she cute, yes Mutley is a girl, with a boys name.

Craft Room sneak peek #2

Here is another storage system I am adding to the room, there will be two of these. They are meant to have backs in them, but I want the wall colour to show through the holes, so I have left the back off and added some stabilizing brackets.

Craft room sneak peek #1

The house repairs are alomst finished. We hope by the middle of August. Last week the tilers put down the tiles and they look great. The painters are in this week, they have almost finshed and the craft room looks fantastic.
Here are two sneak peek pics of the craft room.

Craftroom renovation

After coming back from my trip to the US in April 2007 my Husband surprised me by knocking down a dividing wall between my existing craftroom and our spare room, making a HUGE craftroom. Well it has taken some time but I am starting to get it looking like I would like it to.
I painted the walls to match the existing room and have almost completed with one wall of storage. Yes it's only one wall but it is a start. Also as you can see we haven't finished the ceiling yet.
Here is the progress so far :)
