Today we have vintage storage for paints from the studio of Michelle McCord who writes, "I found this wooden pepsi crate long ago at a garage sale of all places and decided it makes GREAT storage for my paints! It kekeps them contained and not all over my scrap room."
Today we bring you a peek at how three of our design team members store their stamping supplies. These are some really fun ideas! We'll be back next "Flea Market Friday" to share a few more.
From Lisa Dickinson . . . "Here's my stamp "cupboard" - it's actually an old orange crate that someone built drawers for. I found it at a flea market and painted it distressed red. The four drawers hold inks, acrylic stamps, wooden stamps, and stamping supplies. :)"
From Stephanie Howell . . . a vintage 3-tiered wire basket with acrylic blocks on top, inks in the middle, and wooden stamps on the bottom.
From Betsy Sammarco . . . "This is an old cabinet top I found at a warehouse. I appeared to be altered to it could be free standing. I got it because I just loved the knots and color in the wood."
"I loved the shelves inside and store my wooden stamps and ink pads here."
"I was so inspired by a Flea Market Friday post from Doris using an old drawer for storage that when I saw these, I just had to get them! I use them for my paints, mists, ink pads, and acrylic stamps!"
I polled our design team and found a few fun mini-album storage solutions for you. This first one is quite delightful. Michelle and Stephanie both keep their mini-albums in vintage suitcases.
Michelle says, "I have a love for vintage suitcases! I have two different stacks of them in my home and use them for all sorts of storage like fabric, kids crafts, felt, computer parts, and yes, MINI ALBUMS! It's soo easy to just grab the suitcase from the stack, open it up, and let the reminiscing begin."
And here is Stephanie's mini collection in her charming vintage storage.
Lisa and Ranjini both keep theirs in plastic bins for long term storage, but have open storage out and about where their mini-albums can be swapped out and enjoyed as the seasons change. Lisa's wooden fall bin is shown here. 
Ranjini says, "I keep mine in a shallow round basket in the great room for both storage and to share with anyone who wants to peek at them. I change them out when they get old and as I add new ones."
Shimelle keeps hers on a shelf she got from the children's section at Ikea. She says, "I keep various mini albums and a couple canvases on top, and it's right behind me when I'm working at my desk."
How about you? Do you have any special mini-album storage solutions you'd like to share with us?
I am in love with littel drawers for storage lately. This is one I found in some of Jenni's Vintagefest piles and she let me abscond with it. I know I am a very lucky girl. I keep it next to my computer to hold all those little bits of paper with quotes, lists, and notes to myself on them. I put the title on it with black JBS Kindergarten Alpha Rub-ons.
This one, well, I don't remember. Maybe it was from Jenni too? Possibly her last yardsale. Lucky, Lucky me. I keep my in progress mini-albums in it. It's very flat and lays nicely atop my basket of punches. I have a small scrap space and so appreciate condensed storage options.
This is a library drawer that I got from my pal Sherri. Library drawers are the perfect size for all those Maya Road lunchboxes that you've hoarded. This is a great storage system for random loose embellishments.
Hi I'm Debee ;P
I've been crazy over bird houses lately. I have no birds but i do love the little houses. They are so CUTE! I just had to make a little one for my studio. I think it plays well and looks pretty adorable. Love all the pretty JBS papers. They were just perfect with some crazy sewing and fun layers.
It's been almost a year since Mr.Handsome and I ventured into the world of owning a home. We have 2 spare rooms and he gladly gave me my own little room for my studio. :)
I enjoy crafting, crochet and scrapbooking but i originally went to art school so I have so many mediums all in one place. And i also work from home plus have an etsy store where I sell my creative art so this studio can get pretty messy at times :) But rather than put everything away and hide all the mess. I choose to play and enjoy it. My little corner of the world is full of bright happy colors. Sparks my creativity and relaxes my mood. there's no other place i'd rather be.
Thanks for the inspiration Debee! Everything is so very pretty. :)
I just adore this picture of Ryan that was taken a couple of years ago. He was helping my husband wash the car and started playing with the water. I love the burst of water, the sun shining through it, the expression on his face and how his hair still had curls in it. Most of all, I just love how it screams SUMMER, our favorite time of year!
The journaling is on the cards tucked behind the photo, so you can't clearly read them on the page. But, the layout is about my husband's birthday cake that wouldn't 'die'. We sang happy birthday to him, with it, three times over the course of a week. It became a standing joke and no one ventured a taste! I was waiting for the perfect papers to use with this picture and these were it! 
As for my scraproom, I am sending you a photo of several pieces in my milk glass collection. I have dishes, vases, candy holders and bowls throughout my room. The dishes hold embellishments and my pens, pencils and scissors live in the vase. I love the way they look scattered around my space!
