my current craft space | hip kit club

October 7, 2016

Hello everyone! I’m Tiffany Medina–though I go by Tiffany Julia across all of my social media, as to not get confused–and I’m new here on the Hip Kit Club design team! I am a singer-songwriter from New York City, though I sometimes like to refer to myself as an “art deviant” as I’m into all sorts of art. I have a proper degree in creative writing and a special high school degree in fine art, so I’ve been creating things all my life. I still write stories when I’m not playing around with mixed media or scrapbooking. I’m a frequent traveler and absolutely love documenting my travels in handmade scrapbooks. I have been scrapbooking since 2012 after I made my first travel scrapbook and I haven’t stopped creating scrapbooks since!

I’m excited to be sharing my current craft space setup with you today. It’s a very small space, as it’s basically my bedroom. Seeing as I don’t have a lot of space, I’m very particular about what I buy–though let’s be real, I still buy all the pretty things.  I have a very small desk where I do most of my work. On my desk I have two bowls, which are always filled with bits and pieces, like die cut ephemera, stickers and photos that I’ve printed out for projects. I also have two cups, one filled with pens and the other filled with pencils, scissors, my ruler and varies craft markers. Above my desk is my favorite bit of my space. It’s my cork board that I made to be sort of an inspiration/mood/catch-all board. I love that over the past few years, it’s evolved to be a reflection of who I am and what I like. I enjoy looking up at it while I’m working or meditating over what to work on next.

The majority of my supplies though are housed on the other side of my room in my Raskog cart and nightstand. I sectioned off my cart using the three tiers. The bottom tier is where I house all of my mixed media. So my watercolor and acrylic paints, palettes, gesso, acrylic mediums, inks, etc. I also have colored pencils and watercolor pencils, as well as my brushes in that tier too. The second tier houses all of my clear stamps and ink pads in a wire basket, as well as some tools and lots of stickers. The top tier houses other sticker sheets and other bits and bobs. I have two organization trays in that tier that houses bows, wood veneers, acrylic and rubber pieces, sticky notes and other little bits. Hooked to my cart I have all of my alphas thickers.

I repurposed my nightstand–which I was going to get rid of since the bottom shelf broke–as extra scrapbook storage. In the bottom, I have three Iris cases stacked, which contain 12×12 scrapbook paper, paper gift bags and ribbon. In the draw I have an organizer tray that houses all of my Project Life cards, as well as some stationery cards and envelopes. In that draw I also have my Happy Planner discbound punch and lots of Tombow adhesive runner refills.

I filmed a little video tour of my space for you to get a better idea of how I have my space setup. I hope you’re left with a little insight about me and my craft space, and I can’t wait to share my projects with the Hip Kits with you.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
