Here are a few of my recent layouts. I hope the jpg's are clear enough to show the detail. Chalking, inking, tear art, rubber stamping, die cuts, rub ons, 3-d accnts, hand made accents, chipboard, paints, buckles and ribbons, and lumpy lettering. The last layout has a flipper for even more photos! Enjoy!

Oh Yeah! We have another "Sock it to Me Rock Room Review" to do. I love these. If you want me to do one, send me a pic or two. I will get to them as soon as I can--usually in about two weeks. Let's take a peek into Susanne's compact space and see what we can do to help her out. http://myall2.blogspot.com/ The challenge in Susanne's space is to utilize her small upper level space despite the loss of headroom due to angled ceilings. We also want to give her some economical storage solutions that are sturdy and USEFUL. Susanne, Here we go! I hope it helps and please send us a 'finished' photo if you decide to incorporate these tips! Photo One: the Armoire and Work Table photo I really like the fact that you are using a nice piece of furniture in this workspace. The storage capacity of the armoire is a great help. It lends a country elegance to the space. Combined with the craftsman era wooden chari and the wicker loveseat, I see right away a style to this roo...

This is is my new ink storage. I got the black plastic 8 track spinner rack at a secondhand store and mod podged rusty pickle black and brown antiquey paper into the 4x6 sideplates. (image 1) and spritzed it with walnut ink. I then added large black photo corners and 4 photos of my children cut to 3x5 size and placed them in the sideplate areas for inspiration. This spinner holds 24 pads of ink. Most commercial ink pads will fit. Stampin Up, Stampabilities, and so on sizes definitely fit horizontally and the larger pads fit if you stack them on the lowest area sideways (like the bottom of image 4). Black is always classy and can go antiqued or modern and still look great!! I love it and it took me less than an hour to finish! Rockester

Here is the room review. Hope it helps. Love your open space and furnishings! Photos 1: I see a couple of conflicts in the room which might give me a clue to what the organization challenge and dilemma is. You have conflicting decorating styles going on here. On one hand you have a funky red white and blue light (mod) and a colorful tablecloth on the far desk by the bulletin board (also mod) . You have no draperys which says modern to me as well as a modern computer desk style and white walls—also modernistic. You also have lots of plastic bins and drawer units—which you are trying to hide because --on the other hand-- you have ALL great country style furnishings and a chandelier and lots of wood in the room which says upscale country. (Love your work table and armoire hutch!) You can see when you enter the room that even if the clutter was completely gone, there would still be a obvious visual style clash between plastics and woods. Clutter we will address in a minut...
