Check out my Ikea Scrapbook Storage and Project Ideas!

I have created a group at Flixee with short videos of ideas on using Ikea in your scrap room. Go to Flixee and click on GROUPS. Scroll down to the Ikea Ideas group and click on that.

I invite anyone who has a digi video camera and a great Ikea idea to make a video and add it to this group. Let's get as many good ideas as possible in this group and share our Ikea Love with the world!

Check out my altered Ikea CD holder mini-album

I posted this on Flixee. Here's the link to the video. I did it for their craft contest - which check it out if you want to win a BIG bunch of scrap and craft supplies! I actually uploaded three videos. I had time on my hands today thanks to the snow day. My kids were outside most of the day playing with their friends.

Anyway, this inexpensive CD holder makes a great mini-album!

Fun Ikea Project

Look at this project I made for the Ikea Scrapbook Organization Class!

This card or photo holder can be found in the frames section of Ikea. It's black but I painted mine gold. Then I made 4x4 inch digi layouts using Scrapbook Max! software. It's like a scrapbook Christmas wreath!

The SNOW FRIENDS layout in the top photo has some scanned school artwork as page embellishments. This is a GREAT idea for preserving kids' school stuff. If it's not ultra-special (like a "Mom, I love you" card), I scan it and throw it away. Then I use my kids' artwork to decorate pages from time to time. The snowman and the snowman story (which is hilarious, BTW - my son and a snowman eat "macuroni and cheez" together) were perfect for this mini page.

The NEW and IMPROVED ScrapBiz Home Office

Actually, it couldn't HELP but be improved - it was a DIVE. I have put off getting the office together for far too long. I had my scrapbook stuff in a sitting room off our bedroom and I would haul it down to scrap on the dining room table. My mom and dad came over last week while Mark was travelling and MADE me re-do my office. I must say, I got to scrap in it this weekend and I was almost in tears! It's SO COOL to have everything organized and available - the paper, the embellishments, the tools - they all have a place and I CAN FIND THEM!!!!! Much of my office is from Ikea - that has GOT to be the greatest place for scrapbook organization. Every major piece of furniture in the office is from Ikea and the hanging buckets, lamps and metal containers on the bookshelves are Ikea, too. All the plastic boxes on the shelf contain my stickers and other flat embellishments. They are divided by theme. I found these boxes at Daiso - a Japanese Dollar Store in the mall. They were PERFECT!

The room is only 11x11, but there is a LOT of stuff in there. Now, when Oprah calls and wants to interview me for her "Female Entrepreneur of the Year" , I'll be ready to let her cameras into my office!!!! (HA! I wish!)

I know, I have committed a SIN by having my paper rack by the window - but it's the only place it will fit and in Seattle, we don't get enough sun most of the year to worry about it. I DID put dark cardboard on the back side to keep the sun from coming through the slots.
