Welcome to my craft space! I hope you enjoy this look into my craft space.  We recently moved and I had to create a new space for myself that was much smaller than my previous space.  Thanks to a lot of Ikea pieces I was able to do this without difficulty.  You can see all of the details below as well as a video walkthrough at the end of this post. As a trained Interior Designer, I always plan out my moves using AutoCAD and insuring that I know where everything is going to go before our move date.  Of course, that is what I did this time also.  We had decided that my craft space would be part of our basement family room and so I focused on how to best maximize this corner of the room.  I created a "hallway" to my space using two Kallax units. These units hold all of my scrapbooks as well as a few other items.  They also create a nice long counter type space for display and project work space.   One item that I keep on top of these Kallax units ar...

I'm having so much fun putting together these workshops and I really feel like I'm starting to get caught up.  The workshop features the Basics Fundamental paper pack, the Better Together complements and the Basics ribbon pack.  I still have a bit of paper left over and am planning on creating one more double page layout with the new Blush cardstock.  The instructions are free with your purchase of the workshop components or you can purchase the instructions separately for only $10. If you're interested in attending an in person workshop for this then you can find monthly club dates on my facebook page .  To purchase the instruction only just drop me a message at paperplayroom@hotmail.com.  

I finished my Falling for You workshop!  As with previous workshops this is the standard Workshop Your Way kit with the added coordinating cardstock package.  I did change up one of the base pages for the original workshop but otherwise they are the same.       If you don't know, I host monthly club nights at my house, typically on the third Friday of the month.  While some folks work on these kits other just work on their own projects.  It's always a fun night and we usually get a lot done.  If you're interested in joining in just let me know.  If you're not local to Barrie, Ontario and would like the instructions for this workshop you can purchase it for $10 or it's free with your online kit order.  Just email me at paperplayroom@hotmail.com for ordering details. The above layouts are the kit layouts and the next ones are my bonus layouts. 

Yeah, so excited for the return of STAMPAGANZA !  If you weren't aware, every now and then Close to my Heart will hold an event called Stampaganza and during that month you get a FREE stamp set with every two that you purchase.  It's such a great deal.  As an added bonus this month only (July 2017) you can purchase these very popular retired stamps sets.  It's a great chance to grab those ones that you missed out on. And even more, this amazing stamp collection is also back for this month only.  You can of course purchase just the ones you like or the entire set!  Even better yet, if you host a qualifying party then you can get all of them for FREE!  Yes, I said all of them.  How amazing is that?  You can also get the entire set free if you decide to sign up as a Close to my Heart consultant this month.  What a great way to kick off a new venture.  You can check out all of our amazing st...

In honour of National Scrapbooking month Close to my Heart created this stunning paper pack with amazing gold foil images.  I took their pattern for this little mini book and added some additional pages and different embellishments and here is how it turned out. This album was just perfect for my parents honeymoon pictures.  I love how great they look together.  The Live Beautifully  paper is only available until the end of May so don't miss out.
