Jennifer shares her Organized and Inspired Scrap Space

Jennifer Raymond emptied her room and worked super hard during the three month time frame to create her happy space. Thanks for sharing Jennifer, enjoy!

1.  I learned what inspires me. Completing my mission statement, and looking at lots of spaces, blogs, etc. really helped me figure out that my own photos, and my complete layouts are most likely to inspire me. I didn't have those things on display in my space, but now I do!

2. I was pretty clear on what my process was, but going through the exercise of trying other processes was huge for me! My process has changed as a result, and I am faster, more productive, and happier with my results. I figured out what my hurdles were, and how to "jump" them.




3. I NEED a place for everything, and to not have visual clutter. That is so much more clear to me now! I like most things to be not visible. I am pretty good at knowing what I have, and where it is - I don't need to see it. For that matter, seeing it makes me feel overwhelmed.

Great Space Jennifer!! Loving the tourquoise and red....Isn't Wendy's class and book wonderful? I also learned so much and made my space more "workable" to fit my style and process of srapbooking and more pleasing to the eye. Enjoy your new space!

love the wall color you chose!!! thanks for sharing - isn't it great to see some of your pages easily on your wall with that curtain rod? that is something I recently did and LOVE it! (it's much nicer than some decordation I could have purchased) ;-)

I would love to know what the book is on the white boxes that looks like it has your patterned paper in it.

Thanks-Brandi in Indiana

Brandi - That is a ScrapRack storage system, you can google it to find the Web site if you would like more information. I have my patterned paper, diecuts, stickers, etc. in it, and mine is a "double wide."

Thanks all for the kind comments!
