Hello Crafty, Friends!
One more day until Christmas. Are you ready for the big day? Are you dreaming of a crafty Christmas? I know I am! As one of my presents, I always ask my hubby for a few hours to myself to enjoy some quiet time in my studio. After the opening of presents, Zooming with parents, and spending time together, I long for a quiet moment to myself. I love stepping inside the calm, orderly room filled with all my crafty treasures and memories from years gone by. I usually bring a cup of tea and light a candle to set the mood. And for a moment, I get to be me and experience the joy of creating.
I have not always had a crafty space. As a military family, when we move, having a crafty space was not at the top of my list. However, my hubby has always made sure I had a table or corner to create in over the 15 years I have been crafting. One of the special things about my crafting journey are all the little crafty items my hubby makes or buys for me before he deploys. It this thing we do and I cherish each one.
So after umpteen years of shuffling my supplies around in plastic bags, packing boxes, Rubbermaid totes, or creating a corner in a leaky basement in base housing, I finally have my dream space. To mark the occasion, I thought I would create a pocket scrapbook page.
To create this layout, I used Scrapbook.com's Everyday Moments and 3x4 journaling cards. I love the happy pastel colors in this collection mixed with bold floral patterns. I adore all things crafty, so I used the I Work for Watercolors stamp and die set, from Picket Fence Studio, to create my own journaling card. I love how the inky splatters pair well with the crafty theme. The journal cards are perfect for use with my vintage 1940's typewriter. I just adhered the journaling card to a piece of 8.5x11 computer paper and typed out the story of my studio and how it came into existence.
A few bits and pieces from my other pocket scrapbooking kits help complete this page. I am so happy I took the time to journal about my studio.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! And continued blessings to you and yours.
Happy Crafting,
