Welcome to Kreations with Kris

This is my blog where I can show off my scrapbooking kreations! I love to use sketches and scrapping with the supplies I already have (which is way too much!).

If you look at old posts, you may notice that I use to run a scrapbooking business out of my home. My life became just too busy and now I enjoy scrapping for myself!

My Craft Room - Part 1

I was challenged to post pictures of my craft room on my website. So if you haven't had the pleasure of attending one of my crops or classes then you haven't seen my craft room. It was a tandem garage that was an option on the model of our house to be an extra room. So we decided to go ahead and make it a craft room. My supplies were overwhelming my husband's office so it was time to move me out!


The first photo is the wall that you face when you walk into my room. This is a tall cabinet that is great for storage.
















































The next photo is to the left of the cabinet. This is a countertop that is used as either a workplace or where I set up my sewing machines when I sew. Yes I also sew as well as scrapbook and other crafts. Sewing is actually my first hobby that I was very passionate about. I have recently starting getting back to sewing - doing some home dec projects, clothes for the kids and of course some mending. This also shows the window in my room and my desk. My desk is in the corner of the room which is very convient for me - I can roll to any of the work spaces in my room.




















This next photo shows more of my desk and the cabinets above it. This is where I store and organize my personal scrapbooking supplies. I love the Cropper Hopper vertical files. On the lower shelf I store my cardstock and pattern paper in the vertical files. On the shelf above, I either use the vertical files or the smaller organizers to seperate my supplies into categories. Examples are birthday, Christmas/Winter, Autumn/Halloween/Thanksgiving, Sports, Spring, Easter - you get the idea. In those files I have papers, stickers and other flat items that are those themes. That way when I am scrapbooking some birthday pages - I just pull out the Birthday file. Here is a detail of those organizers:




































I really need to get to bed so this will be continued tomorrow. So stay tuned for more pictures and how I store items in my craft room!
