Let's Get Organized!

Hey there, Chauntelle here, thanks for stopping by my blog today!! For this week's Cutting Cafe Post we were challenged to post some pics of our crafty space!!  What I've learned is this; although it doesn't take a large space to craft there is a definite need to keep things organized, otherwise it can get out of control!!  LOL!  So today I'd like to share with you two of my most "purchased" items and how I've chosen to store them.  

 My clear and rubber stamp collections in my mind are a little crazy!!  I love sentiment stamps, animal stamps, background stamps, cute stamps of people (I really love them all) lol.  This space is still under some construction, I'm trying to decide how to categories them (by company, by occasion, etc) but for the most part they are all here and somewhat organized.  


Some of the draws are labeled on the outside already but the ones on the right I know what's in them....The Cutting Cafe Shop happens to have its own draw!!  These bins have all been purchased from Walmart Stores and fit perfectly under my work desk.  This keeps them close to me so I can just reach down and grab a stamp in the midst of my creative time!

 I am also a huge "Card Kit" buyer and they were starting to outgrow the small space where they were stored above my desk.  I found these bins at Staples (on sale (yaass)) and I'm really loving this new solution. 

 Check out this video I posted really diving into how its done!

Whelp, I think that's all I've got!!  Thanks for stopping by today! Let me know your thoughts and/or suggestions about how I can best categories my stamp collections, I'd love to hear your input!!

 Until next time, Happy Crafting!!

I agree with Regina. Organization is the key. I always think I'm so darn organized and there always seems to be that occasional time when I can't find something. How does that happen? I love how you've organized.

Season for Gift Giving

Hey my crafty friends!!  Today I'd like to share with you my design team post for The Cutting Cafe - December 21st post!!  This week was a free week....Christmas themed; which was perfect for the holiday season and opportunity to fill that "last minute" Christmas gift giving list! Do you know the farmer who had a dog??  What was his name??  BINGO!!  Oh, yes!! LOL!! Bingo was a favorite game of my family's when we were growing up; the song and the board game!  Well guess who has a Christmas BINGO game in their shop??   The Cutting Cafe does!!  Yes, yes and I just had to create one.  I plan to present the game at Christmas, pull it out for the family to play and give a gift to the winner(s)...I bought three gifts - the fourth gift will be the BINGO game set! This pdf file was super easy to print and cut for assemble.  I cut a 12x12 sheet of 3/4" circles on my cameo in green and red for the chips.  A box ...

Hey there everyone!!  Thanks for stopping by today!! Its that time of year, graduation celebrations all across the county!!  I'm so proud of everyone and want to wish each one prosperity in their future goals!!  Sooo, on that list of graduates......MY SON!! :o)  I love him so much and I'm very proud of him and his friends who will also be moving on to the next phase of life!!  Today's project for The Cutting Cafe is dedicated to THEM!!  This week's design team inspiration is brought to you using The Card in A Box Embellishment Set .  This card is super cute and can be easily made with or without the help of a cutting machine!! Although it is intended to fold to fit into an envelope, which Regina conveniently provides a cutting file for it, I popped out my card so much it will not fit in an envy (lol) but that's ok too!!  I think it would be really nice as a table centerpiece for the big grad party!! (hint, hint) Anywho.....checkout some pic...
