Today we're delving into Mandy Koeppen's scrap space!
How is your scrap space organized? I have design team stuff separated from everything else. Each team has its own shelf/shelves. I have patterned paper organized by manufacturer. Some embellishments are organized by manufacturer, others are thrown together by their type.
What products must you have within arm's reach? New kits, recent purchases, alpha stickers, and my tools.
What do you love most about your scrap space? Everything! Product is visible so I see it and use it, the colors, having a "me" place, and my vintage finds.
How often would we find you scrapping? Daily. I try to take a few minutes here and there so maybe 1-2 hours a day total, sometimes more, sometimes less.
What makes your scrap space unique? The mix of my husband's handiwork (he made my counter top work table, the framed chalkboard, the shelving we brainstormed together, and he painted it) and my vintage finds (great for storage, inspiration, and pretty to look at!).
Any other tips or things you want to tell us about your scrap space? Think outside the box when it comes to finding ways to organize your products. I went to vintage shops, thrift stores, and IKEA. I love the mix of old and new. Also a big thing is if you can see it, you will use it!
Thanks for the tour Mandy!
Mandy - what an awesome scrap space!! I love your shelving and the table top your husband made! Thanks for sharing!

I laughed at your description. I said the same thing when we moved in December. I'm above ground and with windows. It's marvelous!

Great idea! I just might try this on a guest room lamp I have to add some zip to it!

So much fun taking a peek into creative people's craft rooms. In fact I should be doing something about my room instead of getting ideas on line.
