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.

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
