I really enjoy looking at other crafters stamping and scrapping rooms… so thought I’d take a few pix of mine. Not that it’s anything spectacular, but I know how fun it is to get organizing tips from other stampers, so maybe you’ll see a tip or 2 here that you like.
By the way.. it must be a holiday weekend {wink}.. our house just filled with the delightful smell of BBQ LIGHTER FLUID (ugh!!). I’ll have to go thank the neighbors later.
So… back to my stamping loft… I only have 2 walls and the other 2 "walls" are open railings.. it’s a loft, not a room.. so I don’t have a lot of wall space to hang things… but the upside is that it makes it nice and light and airy and open and I can kinda keep an eye on the rest of the house from here.
Here is where I do all my creating:
Here is how I organize my paper and Simply Scrappin’ Kits (think I have enough STUFF?) – the white paper shelves are from the Container Store and the wood one was from Costco about 10 years ago:
I keep my stamps handy on open shelves organized by categories (flowers, sayings, Christmas, alphabets, etc.):
and I like to keep my most used accessories handy in drawers to my left and right:
and I got this drawer unit at the Container Store which works well to organize my punches, ink cartridges and all my Stampin’ Spots:
Sponges and Sponge Daubers are together in a drawer (they multiply at night), and I found this "drawer organizer" at the Cont. Store years ago, and use it to keep the 4 color families of reinkers organized:
The Stack & Store Caddy (from Stampin’ Up!) is a must in my book for organizing brads, eyelets, buttons, etc., and who doesn’t have 25 packs of SNAIL on hand at all times?? LOL!! We go thru this quickly in all my classes!
Well, hope you’ve enjoyed the tour. If you have pix of your craft room on your blog, post a comment in my comment section… I’d love to take a peek!
Have a great, safe and fun Holiday Weekend!

How awesome is your room~!! I just love it.
This is an awesome room Patty! My new home which I will moving in to next month will have my very own craft room that will be big enough to hold classes in (16×24) so I am very excited and looking for ideas. You gave me some great ones! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Great organizing ideas. I have a question(but when don’t I 😉 how do you store your cut card stock (scraps and 1/2 & 1/4 sheets)?
Thanks for the tips!

Loved seeing your space. I really like your ink pad storage. Right now my room is a disaster but I do have some photosthat are on my weshots site webshots.com/catsmom106
I really enjoy seeing others crafting spaces as well.
How big is the room you are in? I am still struggling to get my area the way I need it. Its my son’s old bedroom and about 8 x 10 but I always love looking at ideas. I have about 200 SU sets and about 4000 other misc stamps and want to display the large background ones on shelving near the ceiling, so am thinking on that one. I but many of my stamps used when others give up on the hobby, and sometimes end up with duplicates that I pass on to family and friends. just as I always share cardstocks and papers. someday I will post photos but still working on it while the weather is good
I’ve been busy reorganizing and took pictures today. Here is my space

I’d love to have a loft space. Someday I am going to add up on my house and have a huge stamping room in a loft. Your room looks so nice and big!
Question – do you guys forever keep all the stamps you buy? Or when they retire – do you sell them to make room for new?
Patty,
Please tell us where you got your ink pad storage system. I love it!
Thanks for sharing your pics. I was overwhelmed on how to organize my craft room, and where to buy the organizers for storage.

hi there. how do you store your scraps of paper. I saw the recent video of your craft room today and it is great and it looks like you store them under your paper cutter but you didn’t explain in detail. thank you and great room. yes a 8 x 8 room is small but then you would fill it up with all other kinds of stuff. My room is about 6 x 9. thanks again
