I had a very successful trip to IKEA - so now I have some assembling to do! I just want to give you a few reminders today as we reach the end of the month. Believe it or not there is talk here of a major storm for April first - and it could be snow! It was sunny but chilly today. I can't wait for spring to really begin.
I always enjoy working with these embellishments when I do my Design Team projects. I just used a few Creative Charms jewels and a flower yesterday on the pink purse.
The sale on the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 download ends on the 31st as well. You can save $20 on the program and start creating cards and layouts that combine digital and diecutting. Here is a LINK to the page on my CM Website for the PC version. You can find the Mac version HERE.
You can do many types of projects with the digital programs - not all of them will be scrapbook pages. I used the StoryBook program to create this diagram to help teach how to line an envelope.
Last Spring I used the StoryBook program with some of the Creative Memories digital content and some items from Lettering Delights to create this digital layout. Patriot's Day will be here again in just a few weeks!
The Lettering Delights Dollar Days sale is also continuing - this only happens twice a year and it is a great time to buy some of the items from your wishlist. Just click the affiliate link above or in the side column to go to the Lettering Delights site. I know I will be making another order in the next day or two.
I have received my copy of the Stork's Delivery cartridge and just started to do a few projects with it. If you are interested in this cartridge you can see more about it at THIS PAGE on my CM website. I'll be doing a full review of the cartridge within the coming week.
I can't wait to show you what will soon be my new and improved crafting space. I want to do some painting but that will have to wait for true Spring weather and temperatures. I have lots of sorting left to do...
Have a Happy Wednesday!

I can't wait to see your new crafting space either
ReplyDeleteWhile you are thinking about your craft space, I have a couple of questions. I'm looking at making an island similar to what you made (probably a bit smaller maybe 3 of the 2 x 2 Expedit).
ReplyDeleteMy questions
1. Are you still happy with your island?
2. Did you end up putting glass on the top, I'm concerned about using it for stamping.
3. I'm not a tall person so I'm concerned it will be too tall for me.
4.What would you have done different now that you've had it for awhile? Did you find that some of the add-ons were useful or did you find the big blocks of space was the best.
OK, enough questions. thank you for any help you can provide.
They are talking snow any my house on April Fools Day too .. Enough already!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had an IKEA near by, or maybe it's better for my purse that we don't!
I thought it simplest to copy and paste so here goes!

1. Are you still happy with your island?
LOVE my island!
2. Did you end up putting glass on the top, I'm concerned about using it for stamping.
I didn't put on a glass top - it would be quite pricey (maybe someday in the future). I do have two large cutting mats covering most of the top. You would probably want the misting mat or Ranger craft sheet if you are doing a lot of inking.
3. I'm not a tall person so I'm concerned it will be too tall for me.
I am a tall person so it might be too high - maybe you could do it with a lower, thinner platform or one that was not on wheels
4.What would you have done different now that you've had it for awhile? Did you find that some of the add-ons were useful or did you find the big blocks of space was the best.
I did get four of the two drawer sets because they were on half price sale when I got the other pieces - I like them but they would add quite a bit to the cost - I think they are $35 each now. There are chipboard boards with metal reinforced corners that work well - I just got some more of these. I do find that paper stacks fit fine but if the full cube is filled it is a little trouble to move them (I keep my stacks flat instead of vertical so they don't get curves). I have also found boxes from other sources that work well. I will try to figure out where I got them and post about them soon.
I hope that helps - I'll be posting more about the new project as soon as I get things sorted out (and some other neglected tasks finished!)
Can't wait to see your new space.
