Maria asked what I do with all my scraps… well, I do know one thing is for sure.. they MULTIPLY AT NIGHT. Do yours? ack! What is up with that?!
Anyway.. They are not really "organized", but more like "stuffed" into 3 boxes. The box in the front of the photo has any scrap smaller than 6×6, the middle box is mostly 6×6 or 5×7-ish pieces and the box in the back has "strips". I also have a separate box for Whisper White scraps of all sizes.
And yes, you are right.. I don’t use that paper cutter.. I have a Carl Cutter next to it that I use most of the time.
Here are a couple more views in my little loft… storage on the shelves.. old set of markers, old SU! Portfolios (idea books), my 6×6 Technique Books from classes I’ve taught,, Pretties Kits, Hodgepodge Hardware, In Colors and other assorted junk. Guess I need to clean out more.
And here is how I store my wheels and small items like glitter, brayers, googlie eyes, pinbacks, craft reinkers, etc.
OK, so now that you’ve seen most of my junk.. anyone wanna come over and help me clean out more? It’s really funny, because after looking at all these photos, I can see other/better ways to organize some of my stuff… guess I’ll be doing that today!
And speaking of organizing: After reading Maggie’s comment to my previous post, I took a look at her blog, and I found this great stamp room from Nancy Riley referenced on Maggie’s site… check it out for some really great ideas!! She has some close-ups of her pegboard organization here.. again.. great ideas!
Hi,
I have a tip for what to do to organize those scraps. Get a portable file box and file folders and label all your colors by name and a sample color (yes, all 48+) and file your scraps in the folders by color. You will get them used up a lot quicker and it won’t take forever to find the piece you need.
It works for me.
