They say that inspiration can come from anywhere. So, I thought I’d share just what inspired me to re-do my studio.

This is the new personal die-cutting machine from Sizzix. It’s the Big Shot Pro and it has a 13″ opening. Ever since I first heard about them, I wanted one. These are brand new, and I have it on good authority that if I play my cards right, I could be the owner of one of these babies later on this month!

I’ve been a fan of Sizzix since they came out with their very first personal die cutter. I have TONS of dies, embossing folders, and texture plates. However, the large foot-print of the Big Shot Pro got me to thinking about where exactly I’d put one in my studio.

That got me to thinking about how I currently use my Big Shot and Side Kick machines. Hmph! I realized that I don’t use my existing machines nearly as often as I’d like because I just don’t have the work space. So…

I convinced myself that I NEEDED the Sizzix work station. Storage plus work surface. Problem – they cost around $400 with shipping. Sigh! Plan B…

Hubby and I were at Lowe’s looking for pegboard. (Ooooooo, now what could I being doing with pegboard?!) We found a clearance deal that cost only $70! Can you say BARGAIN!

At this point in the re-do, the closet storage has been re-done, we’ve taken out 30 Iris cart drawers of storage (more on those in another post), and the new “work station solution” has been installed.

Now that I’ve shown you the “work-flow” inspiration for my studio re-do, check out my next post where I’ll show you the inspiration for the “new” theme. Oh, and maybe I’ll tell you a little more about the pegboard…
