Craft Nook Part 5

Beside my reading chair, I have my book/resource/embellishment shelving unit. This is what it looks like overall.



On the very top are some of my fav cards, and hey lookie!!! It's the card that is on my current giveaway sitting up there!!! I'm sad to see it go but she is too cute to just keep around. So, head on over to my Bugaboo blog and enter for a chance to win her. The giveaway ends on this Friday, March the 5th.

.
On the top shelf are my embellishments!!!!! yeah for pretty stuff to put on your cards!!! In a little bit I'll show you what is in there but first... the rest of the shelving unit!


.
Here are my books and binders with patterns, ideas, and all that jazz. This is also where I store my acrylic paints. On the bottom shelf are more binders and my 8" x 8" empty scrapbooks for presents. I digital scrapbook and print out the pages and they make great presents for family. =D


.
Now!!! Onto the GOOD stuff!!!! In the bottom drawer of this unit we have my brads, lovely little pretty brads to hold other great embellishments together on my cards. I have a weakness for them and would totally buy more if hubby didn't have me on a budget. Bad hubby... just kidding.


.
The next drawer up are for my eyelets. I keep all of my little embellies in these little jars with snap lids that I got from the dollar store. I got a cropadile for Christmas and really like adorning things with eyelets.


.
The middle shelf have little hearts from when I went on a binge with my Martha Stewart punch. Those are in a different drawer. Look at all those pretty colours. I plan on buying some acetate and making shaker cards with these pretty little hearts!


.
Next drawer up is my bling bling compartment. I have these in itty bitty baggies cause they don't fit so well in the little plastic thingies.


.
And the drawer on top are my BUTTONS!!!!! I don't craft very often with buttons but I sure do love to look at them and sort them. I really should do more with buttons. hehe


.
In between my 2 containers, I have my flower petals. I got these at the dollar store and specifically look for little flowers that would look good on cards. I then take them apart and put them in these cute containers that used to house my markers. Now I can mix and match my flower parts; like on my card today for the Monday Colour Challenge. Those are from 3 different flowers and look how pretty they are. I have 4 containers total and the total money I paid in flowers was $10.00, whooo hoooo!



.
Here is the bigger container. In the bottom are little alpha's that came with a paper pad I bought at Christmas time. I have most of them sorted by specific letter, but there were a few that needed to be the whole alpha together.



.
There is nothing in the middle drawer... yet... but here is the top drawer with all those Pretty heart border from that Martha Stewart punch I mentioned. Look at how CUTE they are. Now to find something to put them on hehe


.
I couldn't get a good picture of the contents of this box while it was on the shelving unit. It sits on top of the bigger unit and it has these great flowers of all sizes. This is 3 packages worth of flowers from the dollar store. This container holds 100 4" x 6" photos, that's what it's supposed to be used for, but this is a cuter idea, don't ya think??


.
Thought I would show off the top of the unit more and you can see the pretty cards that are on display.


.
And here is the other side.


This concludes section 5, now onto the last one!!! Enjoy!!!
