Guest Designer Thursday - Norhalma Verzosa

Welcome back to another week with Norhalma! Today she is sharing some pictures of her scrap area.

*****

As I write this, half of my scrapbook supplies were already inside a couple of cardboard boxes, ready for our big move! We currently live in a small 1-bedroom apartment. Since we are now a family of three and having a baby requires a lifestyle change, we are happily plunging in the suburbs and giving up downtown living. We maybe transferring to our new home in a week or two and my my mom-cave awaits me there (smiling from ear to ear).

For now, I certainly don't have a craft room photo to share but I was able to take pictures of my Inspiration Wall! Some of you, if not all, might be familiar with Pinterest and all the fun, awe-inspiring ideas from different people - artists, organizers, bloggers, et.al - placing pictures on their virtual board.  I came across a photo of a crib turned into a wall organizer and thought how neat it was. I made my own version out of the my daughter's old crib railing.

And turn it into an Inspiration Wall.

I placed all sort of paper goods in here. At times, my finish handmade cards for me to see or a relative's card from the Philippines. Yes, we still receive post mailed letters and we love to read it once in a while. Since I only have a small corner in our bedroom and can''t spread 12" x 12" papers all the time, I use this to hang my lay outs, too. It's great because I can see the entire page and make some additions (like embellishments) if need be.

Being a very visual person, I find that I can create more with the supplies I have if I can see it. Sometimes, I'll use my Inspiration Wall and turn it into a Scrappy Wall if I'm working on longer projects. Using binder clips and round binders plus the sheet protectors, my pretty papers were instantly displayed and even adds a nice touch to my craft corner.

I hope you've enjoyed taking a peek on how I keep up with my scrapbooking even with a tiny space and that you've learned a thing or two about re-purposing what you have by giving it another life.
