My Colour Cart..Raskog Cart.

I have discovered a few new Facebook Pages…wow there is a page for everything :)
Two of the new ones were dedicated to our Raskog carts.
I was looking at photos the other members were sharing, I commented on a few.
I was then asked to share mine.
I thought ..oh what the heck, this one is still nicely organized ;)

I call this cart my colour cart.
I keep most of my colouring supplies in here.
In the first tray, I keep my Copic markers, coloured pencils with my Gamsol and blending stumps in the back.

In my second tray I keep my art journal colouring supplies.
I put an insert made for these carts in this tray.
You will see my Gelatos, Big Brush Pitt markers.
I also keep my embossing paste, glues and gesso in here.
In the back containers are my thinner tipped Pitt pens and my paint brushes and other tools.

On my bottom tray I have my Sharpie and Bic markers, my distress markers on the other side and in the very back, my sprays.
Oh yes and my foam brushes.

I keep my Stampin' Up markers in this pink tote. I added some "S" hooks to the cart and hooked them to the loops on the tote :)
I also have this wire tray that I hook on the bottom tray and store my tissue paper in it.

I just love these types of carts.
They are easy to move around and so easy to fill up ;)
That is my Colour Cart with my some of my creative supplies.
Doesn't it just make you want to play :)

I do have another cart dedicated to my journals and supplies….but that one isn't as organized, teehee.
Once I get to that one, I will share it.
I love to see how everyone is using these types of carts, so I thought I would share mine with you.

There are many brands of this type of cart, I just happen to have picked up a couple of these ones from Ikea on a couple of our trips.
Do you have one of these or any other brand of these types of carts.
If you do, what do you keep in yours?

Grey Raskog Cart Organized

Here is one of my Ikea carts all organized and suited to my needs.
This grey Raskog cart stays upstairs as I create a lot while watching televisions with Wayne in the evenings.
I like these carts as they can hold a lot and they have nice sturdy wheels, so when company comes over, I can wheel it in the bedroom out of the way :)

So let me explain more on what I am using this for.
This one is dedicated to my P365, Smash book, journals and my Day Planner.

The top of the cart holds my travel tote.
This travel tote hold all the necessities for these books and for everyday crafting.
To see what is in this tote, check out this post ***Travel Tote***
I like that it sits so nicely in here. I can get everything out with leaving it in the cart, but yet easy to take out when I am on the go.

The middle tray holds my photo trimmer, a few stamps and stickers that go with my books.
I have decorative envelopes in here and some avery labels so I can make my own custom stickers.
My new mini banner punches and some post it notes.

The bottom tray holds my composition books that I enjoy altering and using as various journals and a new Smash book.
It also holds my label maker in that box with the butterfly on it.
My Stampin' Up markers are in that pink bag and my red tape gun.
I also put in a couple of 6x6 paper pads.

I was really trying to incorporate my tag and journal tray in here, but I just couldn't figure out how.
Not a big deal though, I will just bring it upstairs when I need it.
If you want to see what is in the **Journal Tray** click on the name.

You don't think I forgot about my washi tape, now did you ;)
My washi tape drawer is to big to fit in here.
So I grabbed an extra hanging shelf thingy, added some washi to it, that I have picked out for my month Planner pages and and hung it to the tray edge.

I am still brainstorming on how I am going to use my turquoise cart to its full potential :)

Hope you all had a very creative Monday :)
Today was Family Day here in Canada. All stores were closed and we enjoyed a nice relaxing day at home.
Ashley even came by…..to do laundry ;)

Organizing my carts

I love these Ikea carts.
They hold so many goodies ;)
That is a good thing..unless you are like me and just keep putting stuff in it, hoping to organize it later.

Yes I have two of them.
And yes they are both in a big unorganized mess.
I am in the process of organizing both of them.
The grey one is kept upstairs for when I do my crafting while watching a movie.
I want to keep my *Travel tote* upstairs as it has all my necessities for paper crafting. Then I can just take it out of here when we are on our way to the cottage.
Once I get them organized to suit me perfectly, I will share the finished carts and what are in each one.
It may take me the whole long weekend to figure it out though ;)

Today was a real nice day.

Not the weather mind you.

Wayne was going to go and plow the cottage roads, but it was still snowing, blowing and it was cold.

It was a great day as my oldest daughter Ashley invited us all to her house for lunch.

She and her boyfriend made a great Valentines supper of 4 cheese spinach dip with baked pita chips, shrimp Au gratin, chicken with bacon carbonara. They had so much left over.

It was a delicious.

I have to laugh at Sebastian as he loves straws. He will take it right out of the glass and then run away with it.

Ashley has a photo of him, that it looks like he is drinking out of a straw, teehee.

If you haven't yet, go to yesterday's post *Giveaway Post* and leave a comment to be entered…I know you wanna ;)

I hope you all had a creative Saturday :)
