Lasting Memories Challenge - "Happy New Year!"

It's that time of the week again for a "Lasting Memories" Challenge!

The challenge this week is "Happy New Year!"

Now, first of all, I am no exception to scrapper's block, and I waited until what I thought was last minute before I realized I had one more day left...LOL! This was a really tough challenge for me at first because I haven't scrapped pictures of myself since 2007. After that I took a few years off and completely lost my scrapping mojo until my daughter was a few months old. Ever since then, all layouts have been of and for her. I avoided my desk all week and racked my brain with ideas and surfed the web for hours... So at first I wanted to use a play on words for a resolution or something and still sneak in a layout of my daughter but then I said go for it.... You're going to want pictures of yourself some day to remember YOU, and I give complete credit to the challenge this week for my renewed mojo of scrapping photos of myself and other family members from over the years. My last scrapbook goes up to 2005.. I got stalled after our Mexican cruise in 2006 and all pictures since then have been collecting dust. Thank you Lasting Memories! ;)

Anyways, long story short, don't forget about yourself! One day you will wake up and look back at your scrapbooks and not have any memories from the little moments in your life before the big stuff happened.. At least that's how it almost was for me! Maybe there is someone out there that got stuck in a rut like I did. I was so focused on the biggest thing in my life right now that I neglected old memories that needed to get recorded on paper and out of the trap I call my computer! Lol.

For my layout, I chose pictures of last year's new year's eve for 2011. 

I loved the countdowns that I seen on some other layouts and I really wanted to use it on mine. All the numbers are cut from the Alphalicious Cricut cartridge. Photo mats are K&Company paper and polka dot glitter paper is Best Creation Inc. I also used TH walnut stain distressing ink on the edge of the whole layout and around the flags and photo mats. I threw some tiny staples in there too using TH tiny attacher, simply because it's new :) They are on the ends of the banner and on the ends of the paper strips.

This flower is made form the same paper as the photo mats and polka dot paper, I cut out circles of each and glued them together back to back and used this tutorial on how to make it. I LOVE how it came out! Did I mention I LOVE it!? You will definitely see these more often :) I have very rarely made my own embellishments for my pages and I am hooked! I want more ideas for handmade flowers and other embellishments, If you know of any please PLEASE leave me a comment or link and I will be sure to check it out! 

For my clock face I printed a clock mask off the internet onto printer paper and used a razorblade to cut out the numerals. Then I used it as a mask like any other plastic or chipboard mask. I made my own mister with TH distressing ink refill in Chipped Sapphire and some water in an empty mister by Ranger. I then used Tsuniko shimmer spritz in silver on top of the TH to add shimmer. The game spinners are also TH, set at midnight. I used Enamel Accents in white to accent each number of the countdown and in the corner of this photo I used MS edge punch for the polka dot paper in Doily Lace.

I used Momenta puffy stickers for "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" And Recollections stamp set for the "2011"

Twine in Charcoal is from the Twinery. I used a circle punch and folded it over the twine and glued shut. I'm really falling for banners ;)

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Whimsical Designs - Use an edge punch 

Paper Cutz Challenge - New Year

Alphabet Challenge - "Y" for You can choose (Anything goes)

crafty corner storage

I share my craft room with my own bedroom and my daughters room so you can only imagine how crowded my room is. Lol. I wanted to do a quick tell-all about how I make my little corner of craftiness work. I hope I can help someone else that is as crowded as I am :)

First off starting with the left side of the corner is my cube shelving unit. I love it! It holds sooo much. This is where my cricut and some albums go. Inside the cubes holds a lot of random stuff. Like photo boxes and edge punches and my xyron sticker makers. It also has a lot of non-scrappy stuff like school books, Kenzie's books, and in the canvas drawers are random things like clothes I didn't want to put away ;) lol OHH and not to mention all Kenzie's toys that are too big for the rest of the house -__-

eyelets and brads container, xyron and edge punches... my others are on my desk at the moment, i only have 3.. I need to step my edge puncher game up lol :)

ongoing papermache drawer project :/ photo box

cricut boxes, xyron, random shoebox with more storage

Then on the right of the corner there is my printer shelf and my ribbon shelf with my sissix texture boutique :) (in the mirror you can see my daughters makeshift closet above her changing table on the other side of the room.. told you it was crowded!

To the right of that there is my desk.. Not much room if you ask me, that is why recently we put a huge table in the middle of my room. Totally in the way but so much more work space! I can shove the table under the printer when I need it out of the way but it hasn't been there yet! There's Kenzie flipping through the pages of my 4x6 paper pads.. She's obsessed with paper already!!!! On the left side are all of my papers, then all my stickers and scraps and embellies are in the drawers and to the right on top of the desk (not shown) are my little drawers for little stuff. (my desk is a mess ;))

These shelves are sold at Michaels. This is 2 paper stacker ones on top of each other.

First shelf is my Best of K&Company pad (also where I store my cricut mats)

Second shelf is all of my Best Creations 12x12 and 6x6 that I won from Britt:) at Life, Paper, Scissors

Third shelf is all of my single sheets and papers I use the most, including my open pack of Echo Park (LOVE)

Next is my paper stacks

Then my mat stacks and cardstock 12x12 Loose sheets (underneath)

And the rest are more paper pads

On to the colorful drawers under my desk: 

The top drawer is all my pens, then the second drawer is all of my letters and letter stickers and my diamond glaze.

Next is all my stamp pads, mists, inks and embossing powders and stamp cleaner

Then all of my clear stamps, rubber stamps, PKS and punches

Then scraps!!!

Last on the left side is all my cardstock 8.5x11

top drawer on the right side is my embossing folders, ATG and heat gun, and stencils and tissue tape by TH

Then bling and random embellies

The TH embellies and more bling and stickers

The a whole drawer for baby embellies and stickers

Then my loose ribbons and acrylic mini albums not even started on.. 

Then las ton the right is more scraps!

in the white drawer that makes up the right leg of my desk is where i put all my twine and embroidery floss and glue gun and zots.. its a mess!

Then in the shelf I have my flower tins and paper bags

and some albums and my MS score board

On top of the desk that I was talking about above I have my small drawers that have my tool kit...

scissors and stapler and Sew-easy

I don't know why the white out is in here.. but this one is pliers and circle cutter templates

zig pen, tape runner and pop dots.. and in the top are my white board pens.

I hope this showed someone that you can have alottttt in a little bit of space with the right system.. I have a little organizational problem but hey it works for me and everything has its place and if it's moved I know it. :)

HAPPY SCRAPPING!
