Every once in a while I like to browse the internet for cool scrapbook spaces. I enjoy viewing the way my fellow scrapbookers store their items and surround themselves with creativity. I came across this particular space just a few weeks ago. But this isn’t a scrapbook room . . . it’s a scrapbooking shed! How cool is that?!!!
Here’s what Carole has to say about the shed:
“Actually it is in a shed in the backyard, It is a very big shed. lol !! I know it sounds weird right!! but honestly it is brilliant, my husband created me a room of my own, with a sliding door for access, I also have air-conditioning, 2 small TVs built into each side of the desk which you will see in the photos, placed at eye level so I can see my favorite shows also internet and phone, excellent lighting, [and] basically everything I need. My husband calls the main desk a work station; and all the shelving was custom made to suit the space, right down to my ribbon/stamping holder.”
Here is a photo of her desk:
Carole explains her storage process:
“My papers get stored in the bottom shelves which my darling husband designed for me, I knew I needed something low, so I could just sit in my scrapbooking chair and go through the papers in the shelves without any hassel, so easy.”
Here is her paper storage:
And here is how she stores her products:
“All my embellishments, well nearly all of them, are stored on my peg board which is amazing, I just pick what I need, open the packet up, get out how many brads or rub-ons etc., and then stick it up and put it back up onto the peg board, love it! I also find nothing gets damaged because it is hanging up rather than shoved in a draw or box.”

Carole shares a tip on deciding how to store your own items:
“Plan how you would like to have access to your products, do you want them on show like me or hidden, everyone is different, it is a personal choice, but really think about how you want to store everything, because this is the most important, I find if it takes to long to look for something I just can’t be bothered, so make it easy, and make sure your products don’t get damaged, lets face it we do love them, so we should look after them.”
Carole has several displays around her room for additional items such as stamps, completed projects, and other embellishments.

Carole enjoys scrapbooking at night and enjoys watching her favorite show while scrapbooking. She thought long and hard about how this space would best work and in the end I think she has a successfully creative space!
Thanks for sharing it with us Carole!
