Challenge Winners– November


It has been a crazy few weeks here at WW1 headquarters! .. a very big apology from myself for not getting this out sooner!

I moved house/states with all the best intentions to stay on top of my WW1 commitments and still get this out to you on the 15th as I do each month, but a cranky child, and no internet connection in some caravan parks along the way meant it didn’t happen!

A BIG BIG Thankyou everyone that played along!

I would like to THANK our sponsors for November, they make playing along with the challenge each month and viewing all the amazing entries so worthwhile!

Post by CT Girl–Heidi Barclay .. #4 in the series Where do you create?


PROFILE PIC HEIDI copy
Hello everyone, today I am going to take you on a walk around my scrappy area. I am fortunate enough to have my own room, which is actually a spare room but rarely gets used so that is quite lucky really.









 

Here is my what my desk area looks like (and yes I have cleaned it nicely especially for this room share.

The idea behind buying this writing desk was to be able to close it up when I am not using it, but that’s just far too much hassle so I leave it open most of the time and it’s normally a lot messier. Here is a close up of what I have in front of me when I am working

So there are some essentials which I keep fairly close to me, on the right or left.










,

Right in front of me you can see some tins and circle tins, I keep all my flairs, enamel dots, rubons etc in the old Maya Road tins

  and then I used a metal spice rack which I put some of my sequence, wooden embellishments and bits and bobs in.

 I have used an old wooden crate (small one) for my collection of washi tape.

My Mists and Distress Inks are in a similar wooden crate which we received as a gift with a bottle of wine in it. Perfect use for mists and I slot in my favourite masks just behind it.

To the left of me I have a little shelf which contains my Alpha’s (in a plastic box), my washi tape, my mixed media stuff and just general stickers / embellishments - and right next to that on the floor I keep my 12x12 papers in a plastic box which is perfect for 12x12 pp’s. 


and last but not least, I have created a banner on the wall next to me where I can hang up some of my favourite layouts to inspire me. As you can see my space isn’t that large, but it’s my space to retreat to and create.

Thanks for dropping by.

I have been scrapping for 7 years, it first started as a hobby and now I have a scrap shop. I live in Valencia, Spain, I´m married and haven´t any children. I like working with pastel colors, but it depends on the picture. I adore introducing natural elements in my work. I am totally addicted to all things craft and love to create mini-albums. I´m very inspired by nature, showcase of a large city, beautiful magazines, travel ...
