Tracie says about her area:

I claimed one corner wall of my Den and it is perfect. Over time, I have taken over more of the Den but I really and truly only need one wall. I bought Target cubes and Store In Style cubes (far left) but any desk would be fine. I don’t think you need a lot of drawer space because it’s better to keep things out where you can see them.

More photos of her room after the jump:

Paper:
Vertical storage works best.
I have a Store-In-Style drawer that holds a LOT of 12×12 paper.
I store it upright, without file folders but with tabbed dividers by Cropper Hopper.
You can get way more in there without the folders.

Paper Embellishments:
This means stickers, die cuts, letter stickers, chipboard letters in a flat package, etc.
I have these stored in envelopes that I received for letting Cropper Hopper use pictures of my scrap area in a CKU class.
You can get them at Hobby Lobby and they frequently run a 40% coupon or have them on sale.
I have them divided by topic and season. This could also be done with simple file tabs, made out of 12×12 cardstock and stick-on tabs. I have all of these files in a wood bin I got at Target. Similar ones still available.

Small embellishments:
I have two systems for those.
First, I have 20 plastic jars that have things like chipboard pieces/letters, ghost shapes, buttons, metal pieces, felt embellies, etc.
I got them for free (long story) but you can buy small jars at a dollar store.
Think canning jars.
My Mom got some short, squatty ones and I think someone showed me some from a hardware store lately.
They would be super cute for this but you need an area you can display them in. I find that if I keep things out where I can see them, I am more likely to use them.

Cardstock storage:
I have a separate wood box that I keep cardstock in, just standing up, sorted by color.
I have a plastic divided organizer for my scraps that sits by my feet.
(See it there, on the right in the picture?)
I throw away small scraps but put large ones in there, divided by color.

Tracie Claiborne’s Scrapbook Room

You don’t have a room big enough for your own craft room? Why not a scrapbook corner or nook? Reddydivas shows us how.

Love the boxes and the shelves!

Reddydivas says

I “just” finished cleaning up this space in preperation for Aiden and I going on vacation, so wanted to get a photo of it..untouched. This is the recessed “nook” in our living room of our tiny New York apartment, so we not only use it for play, but eating, homework etc…you get the idea. The space is a little over 6 feet long. The nook is painted a slightly lighter, more buttery yellowish color than the surrounding brown walls. The elfa shelving is from the Container Store, as are the red and grey file boxes, the brown and white fabric box on the floor, the mesh bins and the bright pink chair. The light colored wood boxes are from Ikea. The brown and white magazine file and photo box are a recent find from West Elm. Everything else (photo frames, letter, calender) is from Pottery Barn. The diamond art is a framed placement from Target, as is the magenta fabric frame beside it. Thanks so much for taking the time to look. Be well, and have fun creating in your respective spaces.
