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!

To all you mad croppers thinking of setting up their scrapbook area, here’s Rhonda’s Scrapbook Desk to inspire you. Looks very tidy eh? I love the view. My old craft room had a view like that. But sadly we had to move. Now, my only view is our street.
Sigh.

Here’s another one to make you green with envy! Lisa Brown’s craft studio is divine!
