Welcome to Just Something I Made, I’m so glad you hopped over for a visit!
A few months ago my studio was photographed by the very talented Sam Breach for Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine’s special issue Creative Spaces which hits the stands today.
I received my copy of the Creative Spaces magazine last week and it is one of the most amazing studio magazines I have EVER seen. Every single page of each fantastic feature is packed full of detail, ideas and inspiration from the studios and workplaces of not only the magazine publisher themselves, but inspiring DIY bloggers, talented paper crafters, and even a few of your favorite scrapbook and craft supply companies. They’ve included as well features on DIY storage, decor, and a marketplace for helping you create your own slice of crafty heaven. Here are a few shots of my studio feature, which completely rocked my world. You can find a sneak peek of this issue by clicking on the magazine’s cover image above. 
I am so honored and humbled to have my studio space among the ranks of some of the most talented creatives in the craft industry, many of which I have had the great pleasure of meeting and working with. I hope you’ll click below to begin or continue hopping blog to blog to visit the many who were featured and enjoy their unique peeks into this super publication.

Love how you used old cans for storage of pens and pencils, etc.! Beautiful space!
So many wonderful details in this gorgeous, eclectic crafting space! Love the recycling of antique items!
Wow, your space is huge! I love how eclectic and bright it is.
This issue looks like even the best yet — you are so creative — thanks for sharing!
I love the glass-doored cabinet for storage. Some of your stash is stored (so neatly!!) in the open. Is dust ever an issue? Fading from the sunlight?
Hi, Cathe! The magazine looks wonderful. I’ve been working for awhile on making my little studio into something more creative and efficient. I love those big organizer cabinets, those pretty pieces of real “furniture,” and would probably need more than one! My biggest challenge is finding space for my miniature creations; my little buildings just aren’t filling their display potential yet.
I can’t wait to see the whole article on your studio. Love the storage cans. tfs
Love the creative ideas and projects you make!Would love to see your space in person!
I love the electric look and I now have hopes of making my space more creative and inspiring. Thank you!
How do you store
your embellishments?
Your room looks great!

With a recent Emory nest, looking for creative ideas to convert a room to my very own creative space in the next six months. Would so appreciate the inspiration! Congrats Cathe!
Admire your studio and talent!
Brilliant ideas that will help me keep organized!
I get really inspired by seeing the creative spaces of other people (and how they are organized.)
I am trying to organize my craft room that I share with my daughter. It’s not a huge room, so storage and making it functional are important! It looks like there are some fantastic ideas in your space and the magazine!!!
I’m dying to get a copy. Thank you for the chance to win!
Gracias por enseñar su espacio creativo. Yo vivo en España y no tengo acceso a revistas tan lindas y útiles. Es usted muy generosa, me servirá de inspiración.
I will move into a new home soon and I would love to have ideas for my new space; thanks for the chance to win !
Wonderfully organized crafting space to create to ones hearts delight!!! Everything is accessible,and the room is light and airy with a little resting nook to take a break and sit back and reflect. How fantastic is that!?!
With my children grown and being a widow, I made the decision to move out of the “big house” into a small town house. I have a small room that I want to transform into my creative space. These ideas look wonderful. I hope I have the skill to use some of them. Creativity has become my therapy!
Hi Cathe,
I love your work and your inspiration! What is your favorite repurposed storage idea or tip? Thanks for sharing your fun studio with us.
Thank you Cathe for being so generous with your ideas! Seeing how the most productive people work, makes it easy to stay inspired.
Love all the sneak peeks of your space. I really need this magazine!
The colorful and functional studios are so inspiring!
Your studio is so bright, colorful and well organized. Would love to see this issue of Creative Spaces so I can see it up close.
Thanks so much Cathe. Can’t wait to get it!
