Simple Stories

I absolutely love the simple stories way to scrapbook I used to be able to sit for hours on 1 layout because I had that kind of time-- before I graduated and got a job:) Now I barely have time to create cards much less a scrapbook album, but thanks to Simple stories I can create several layouts in just a couple of hours! here is just one example-- a layout dedicated to a dear friend who is now in heaven I think the title from simple stories says it all

I knew I wanted to scrapbook these photos, Simple stories had just the kit I needed-- Life documented

The perfect saying-- we don't remember days we remember moments-- so true so true:)

Recipe

• CTMH card stock
• Simple Stories Life Documented kit
• Flowers from a kit(sorry can not remember which one I believe it is from SAMS club)
• Rhinestones from CTMH

Scrapbook Studio Tour part 6

The conclusion of our tour will end today with the last wall of my scrapbook studio
and my memory makers wall storage too

Ribbon, stickles, buttons, flowers, and paint all stored in my memory makers wall storage
My cricut apron and monkey hangs from my initial hanger
My file cabinet holds paperwork, and craft kits, the crate on top holds totes, the sterilite container holds general craft supplies, glass crafts, and candles
my refrigerator(which comes in handy for crops or long scrapbook days
and last but definitely not least is my wonderful sink-- this is a great thing to have in your scrapbook studio because of messy projects with stamps, glue, and paint
I thought I would not use it but I use it almost every time I scrap:)

Copic Marker Storage

Copic Markers are my new passion I love them so much!!!! I have a lot to learn still but they are so AWESOME as my collection was getting larger I searched for a way to store them in a neat easily accessible way! This is what I came up with a close up view of my desk and shelf that holds pictures and memorabilia I made my own Copic marker and other marker storage by using CTMH chipboard memory cubes I used liquid glass to glue the sides and cut the top off then adhered them all together and placed them under my shelf(they ended up being just the perfect size) The first cube is for other craft markers the second cube is for sharpies and paint pens the third cube is for natural copics the fourth cube is for green copics the fifth cube is for pinks/reds copics the sixth cube is for blues copics the seventh cube is for yellow copics
close up of the cube with the markers inside
on top of the cubes I used the dollar spot target tins to hold tools
