A couple of days ago I posted an article about my solution for storing 8.5x11 inch cardstock.

In an effort to share some other ideas about how my work space is set up, I'm going to post a few articles that might give you some new ideas. In turn, I would love for you to share your ideas as well.

This idea helps me stay motivated - a board full of project ideas!

If you have the space and finances for such a room, then I say go for it. If not, then you can still have a nice organized area by thinking about other options.

Paper piecing is a technique that provides additional interest to a card or scrapbook page. Generally speaking, it is a method of using several pieces of paper arranged to make another image. It can be as basic as using construction paper for a kids' craft project, or with additional effort can make a beautiful piece of art.

Now, imagine the same technique using stamped images....

I remember these lace 'doily' hearts from when I was a kid.

We were always doing little craft projects growing up, and I suddenly realized what a great (cheap) embellishment this could be for Valentine cards, gifts and scrapbook pages.

I got a pack of 24 for $2.00... you just can't beat that.

It may not really be new, but I didn't know about it until this week...

The Scrapbook Warehouse is located in Opry Mills Mall in Nashville.

Looking for a way to create a new look, using those old rubber stamps? This might be the answer for you...
