Hello Hip Kit Club friends!  I am so excited to be joining this amazing team!  As I eagerly await my kit, I thought I’d introduce myself and share my scrap space with you!

My name is Jung (pronounced like jungle, minus the -le) and I live in Texas with my high school sweetheart turned hubbie Barry, and our 3 girls, Lola, Ellie, and Ruby.  I first started scrapbooking in high school; I put together an album filled with pictures of Barry & I, movie stubs, little notes, stickers, stickers, and more stickers!  LOL!  My style has changed a lot since then, but my love of scrapbooking has only grown!  My favorite products are  white cardstock, 6×6 paper pads, enamel dots, Heidi Swapp gold color shine, and alpha stickers…so it looks like I’m in the right place!

Here is a little peek into my scrap space.  I share this small room with my girls; they have a small desk where they can get crafty too.  Our upright piano is also in this room.  (I can craft while they practice, or I can send them in there to practice by themselves and have them close the door!  Haha!)

I keep a comfy dog bed under my desk, because my little dorkie (dachshund & yorkie mix) Emma likes to hang out with me while I scrap.  She keeps my toes toastie in the winter!

My desk is from Ikea.  The 2 white floating shelves are also from Ikea; I like them because they’re not too deep, and they’re perfect for storing/displaying mists and jars of small embellishments.  I got the white organizer with the tiny clear drawers at Home Depot many years ago; It’s meant for nails and screws, but I keep my ink blending tools, sequins, black ink pads, erasers, paper clips, and other small tools in them.  The 3 tiered black baskets hold my different adhesives.  I also have an Ikea container filled with my beloved 6×6 paper pads sitting on the left side of my desk.  To the right of my desk, I have some of my card making supplies, like embossing powders, acrylic blocks, distress inks, and my heat gun in plastic drawers.

Immediately to the left of my desk, I have an Ikea bookcase, where I house my stamps, copic markers, and ink pads.  I also have another small desk where I keep my sewing machine.  My die cutting machine and dies are sitting on a wooden folding tray table (i.e. tv dinner stand).  On the floor beneath the tray table, I have my friskers and guillotine paper trimmers, a basket full of punches, and a trashcan.

To the right of my desk is my favorite blue Ikea cart.  In the top section, I have my thickers, and other small stickers and embellishments.  In the middle section, I have photos and my scrapbooking stamps.  In the bottom section, I have some date stamps, and various other tools.  To house my albums, I have another Ikea shelf.

I hope you liked having a peek into my scrap space!  I will say, it took me a few days to clean this room for pictures, ha!  It is normally not this clean, but that’s just how I craft!  I’d like my scrap room to be a bit more organized, but I have learned that IF I DON’T SEE IT, I WON’T USE IT, so this works for now.

I can’t wait to share my Hip Kit projects with you soon.  Have an awesome day!
