Craft Room Inspiration from ScrapStampSew

Love the shelves of ScrapStampSew’s craft room. Yes, it’s a tad messy but I prefer it creatively disorganized like this rather than freakishly tidy!

This room looks like it’s ‘lived in’ and that someone is actually using it! I used to have a craft room but it’s been taken over by my Husband as his home office. I still have a desk there but I haven’t done much crafting there. My craft area is tidier than it usually is I had a big clean up the other week. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to take a photo and share here. LOL

Whatever you call it — scrapbook studio, creative space, craft room, scrapbook corner, they’re all the same. It’s a place where you unleash your creativity. A zen kind of place where magic is discovered and great artworks are created!

Here are the top 3 craft studios that I am currently drooling over:

Paulamw’s craft room. More photos of her craft room HERE.

Bubblegum Sherbet Fizz’s craft room. More photos of her craft room HERE.

HeyLucy’s room is another one to get inspiration from. Love it! More photos of her craft room HERE.

How did you get started with scrapbooking?

I’ve often been asked by friends and online buddies alike how I got started with scrapbooking.

I have always loved to jazz up my photo albums even before they became an actual ‘hobby’ with all the glitz and glamour it now entails where you got archival-safe products and all that. I loved crafty endeavours even as a child and all my photo albums will have little notes of where it was, what we were doing (similar to what we call ‘journalling’ now) and cut the photos up to make some sort of collage. I also used to cut up designs from old gift wrappers and newspaper clippings to jazz up my ‘layouts’ — We call them embellishments now.

I got into the ‘real’ scrapbooking mania complete with all the materials (cardstocks, embellishments, journalling etc) around about late 2003 or early 2004 when an online friend of mine, Gem showed her layouts to the e-group. I fell in love with them and knew that I had to do them as well.

The first few layouts I did where not inspiring at all but it did inspire me to even have my own craft room at home. It was great! The layouts above were one of the very first layouts I made.

I don’t get to dabble in my layouts as much as I want to only because of my work and family commitments but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to have more ‘me’ time to create more scrapbook layouts.

What about you? How did you get started on scrapbooking?
