Organizing stencils. 

Most of my stencils are stored in files; the little black ones are A5 display books, the grey one is a 3-ring binder, and the final one is a scrapbook album measuring 12" x 12".

The A5 display books are for my small stencils.

I wrote the names, sizes, and suppliers on small cards

Most of my medium-sized stencils are in a 3-ring binder.

Some stencils in the three-ring binder have holes punched, so they don't require sleeves, but the majority are in protective sleeves.

My biggest stencils are in a 12 " x 12" three-ring Scrapbook album.


Some of my favourite stencils.

Ocean eyes.

 
 I chose this coloring page because I haven't colored in a long time and I'm out of practice. Although it took a while, I relaxed while listening to music and focused on the colors, blending, and layering. Even my coffee was forgotten. We're lucky to have access to so many beautiful coloring books and online guides.

Steampunk.

"To me, steampunk and urban fantasy are naturally hinged together. And I think that's because I love the early gothic Victorian literature, and both things spring from that movement." - Gail Carriger

My craft corner.



I’m happy with how my craft supplies look now that I reorganized them.

On the one wall is my magnetic board, which I use for planning. There are large stencils in the black file holder, which is standing on top of a Butcher’s block from  Ikea. The pine TV stand was a thrift store find.

In the winter I work upstairs in our home office, so I have more natural light, it is warmer than my Craft Room, which is in the basement and I am closer to my family. I repurposed an Ikea bookcase that we had for my workspace. We have had the bookcase for a few years, so I don’t think Ikea sells them anymore.

On my left is my RÃ¥skog.

The black metal rack was another thrift store find. On the top shelf are art sets. The plastic containers on the second shelf are for ephemera, embellishments, stickers, etc. The third shelf is for medium, see the next photo for the contents. 
I use the glass sheets to cover and flatten my projects in progress. 

Some of my mediums like watercolour paints, acrylic tubes, markers,  paintbrushes, etc. are in a clear plastic container. 

My RÃ¥skog.

I keep books, sketch pads, watercolour paper, etc in magazine holders. 
The next shelf holds Art journal albums.
The files are used for planning.

The old Fashioned Happy Anniversary book—Sterling Main Street. The Old Fashioned Party Invitation Postcard Book -Sterling Main Street Memories of a Lifetime: Borders & Frames: by Inc. Sterling Publishing Co. 

My family photos in albums are on another metal shelf. 

These are some of the scrapbooks I have completed.
