Small Reno Turned Larger Project

Decided during the Let's Scrap blog hop that I wanted to make a place for my sewing machine in my scrap room; knowing I would sew on more layouts if I didn't have to bring out my machine every time I wanted to use it. So anyway, getting the sewing machine set-up ended up including some new shelves, then I had to buy pretty matching storage boxes, then I had to run out and buy pretty matching jars for my flowers and buttons (thank God for the Dollar Store), then I had to sort through buttons, flowers and embellishments. I am sure you get the idea and I am sure you have all been there at one time or another. My only regret is that I forgot to take a picture when the room was in complete chaos. Now I have a new problem; I go into the my scrap room to scrap and all I want to do is admire my new storage.
Here are pictures of the new shelves and as you can see the sewing machine is ready to go.

I finished my take on the challenge last at the first of the week just needed a chance to take a photo of the layout. I have been playing with burlap on my layouts and cards; this layout was the perfect opportunity to use burlap again.













Here is a close up of the burlap leaves, I love how they turned out.
