sometimes I feel like a bit of a voyeur…a voyeur in a good way I hope! LOL  cuz that sounds reHeally bad.. but I LOVE looking at videos and blogposts where people show their studios, craft rooms, art supplies, travel bags, journaling stuff etc..  I get little goosebumps when I see new product I need to have (and therefore the shop needs to have) and bags, books, bowls, baskets etc.. as to where people stash their STUFFS… so…if you are interested, I thought I may post some things here from my studio (if that’s what you can call it..LOL.. it’s more like an unfinished basement).. and hopefully my new studio once I move in 3 weeks.. *thunk* (that was my jaw dropping just thinking of what I still have to do…)

Basically for the past month, little by little, I have been trying to organize all of my supplies.. finding homes for them so that the move to the new house will be easier..

So if you would like me to do some posts like this one, let me know!  and if you have some FAVORITE storage bags/boxes/cases that you can’t live without, I would LOVE for you to post it in the comments!

Ok so for today, I would like to show you how I used my STICKER STADIUM by CROP and STYLE that I had my papers in before but now have found a new “life” for… OMG I LOVE IT! AND I am getting some more in the store next week!

So this is what the sticker stadium looks like.. it is meant for….. LOL your stickers, odd shaped papers etc.. it rises to different levels and STRETCHES so you can stuff it!

Well, guess what I used it for?  I used it for ALL of my STENCILS/TEMPLATES and masks.. and I have a LOT OF THEM!  For my  cardboards and foam mats.. all the goodies I use to add texture to my canvases or art journal pages..it’s amazing!  my little 6*6 plates go in the front and as they get bigger, they go to the slots behind.. my 12*12 in the back slot

Here is my newfound love from the front.  This baby can fit A LOT.  and I mean A LOT..

nice AY?

And here it is from the side.. showing how wide the gussets can grow!  See the pink fibreglass walls behind it?  ThatSSSS my studio 🙂  Glamorous, idn’t it?

The great thing is that Ryan PROMISED to have the craft room of my dreams in about a month.. should I show you the one I am EYEING??  Maybe I will wait a little to show you 🙂

Tomorrow’s bellarific Friday theme is WHITE … you still have time to submit!  And you still have time to post a comment HERE for the chance to win DOUBLE bella buckeroonis.. that’s $20 in bella bucks.. if you still submit a card.. you also are eligible for a $40 win in bella bucks to be announced next week!

Ok sistah’s let me know if you like to peek into other people’s studios too and I will keep these posts going.  Please feel free to add comments and post your faves

mwah to da sistahs who LOVE boxes like I do

hiya sistahs!  It’s a dreary day over her in Toronto.. blah..

but I have something so INSPIRING to show you and we are taking preorders now!  Denabella designed it with WarrenaFELLA.. one of our great customers Carrol’s husband :).. ok get the connection??? LOL  Yikes say that 47 times fast! LOL

It’s a washi tape stand!  Remember last year or a little bit longer than that we had a big shipment of Washi Tape that came in .. we sold out in seconds!  Well we were looking for a way to store them.. not only to be practical but to put a smile on our faces and inspire us every day..

Warren hand makes these in solid oak.. they are just gorgeous!   you can fit over 60 rolls of Washi tape on the 3 tiers

are they not GORGE? (-ous.. )

Their price will be $39.99 plus shipping.  We are taking preorders now so just call Bellaland (1.866.645.2355) and we will make sure to put one aside for you 🙂

Also, keep checking our bloggypoo or shop as you may just see some new washi tape to put on that stand!

Mwah to da sistahs who feel like a little washi
