We’re starting a new series today. Every Friday (or thereabouts) for the next several weeks, we will be letting you peek into the creative spaces of our team members. Now, as you probably realize, we have some team members who play with paper products, some who are only digital, and some who do both. ALL of our design team members have their own special way of organizing and creating and I am SO excited they have agreed to share photos and tips from their spaces! So here we go. First up is Ami Godfrey!

Ami: “This is the overall picture of my scrap area. I share a home office with my husband, who works from home. I have almost an entire wall for scrap storage and space. I have a large desk, and on top of that is a small cubby bookshelf, lazy susan, and my Cricut. Next to the desk is a stack of paper storage cubes. And next to that, is a large cubby bookshelf. I have everything neatly organized and that helps in a small space. I know where everything is, and it’s really easy to put things away when I’m done using them because everything has a specific home. I love my space!!”

Ami: “This is a closer shot of my desk area. I have my alphabet stickers and Thickers sorted by color in the three-drawer containers in the cubby bookshelf on my desk. Also in that cubby bookshelf: my Slice, Cricut cartridges (at least until my stash of those grows, LOL!), Inks, Sprays and Stickles, and I also have craft cases full of buttons, brads, and other small embellishments stored there. On top of that bookshelf is a small basket of odds and ends and a big red bin for ribbon.”

Ami: “This picture shows my paper storage and large cubby bookshelf. This large bookshelf holds my camera and lenses, clear stamps, cardmaking supplies, scrapbook albums, flowers, photo storage and the top of the bookshelf has a basket of stickers and a smaller basket of stickers. The star is a recent project I made for Scrap n’ Art!”

Ami: “This shows my lazy susan up close. This item has been a lifesaver in organizing my desk efficiently. I have different cups/containers on it that hold adhesive, markers, pens/pencils, journaling pens, scissors, etc. I can sit at my desk to scrap and have everything I need literally right at my fingertips. I just give it a little spin to find what I need. It’s awesome. I picked this lazy susan up at IKEA very inexpensively.”
So there’s a peek into Ami’s space. I love that she has SO many supplies organized so neatly in a small space! And I really do love that lazy susan idea. I might have to grab myself one of those! I hope you enjoyed this and we’ll be back next week with another glimpse into the creative space of a design team member.
And, if you would like us to feature YOUR space in our upcoming issue, we’ve got the page calls out for the May/June issue. One of the calls is “Scrap Your Space”. You can check out all of our calls here!
