I know that we have all talked about this before but now that I am working on my room I decided to start organizing it as I go. Well a while back I was reading Embers blog and went into some of the other peoples blogs on her page. I love reading how people organize and do their layouts. So I did "lift" this idea from someone else, Ember if you know who it is please tell them THANK YOU! It is a great idea and I think it will make my scrapping so much easier!
So here is what I did. I found like 5 big binders of travel brochures from when I was a Travel Agent that had page protectors in it. I emptied the page protectors and put two sheets of stickers in the protector back to back. Then on the outside I used some cutout letters and circles for a background to lable the binder on the side and front. I did the same thing for my diecuts and embellishments. Now all I have to do is flip thru the binders when I need something and it is so much easier than flipping through my baggies!
I would post pictures but my camera is on the fritz right now....ugh.
Answer:
ok......I'm doing that this weekend. I can never find anything when I need it....and I end up taking everything out and then it's a pain to put everything back where it belongs. I love all the ideas you ladies have.
Answer:
Yeah I kinda do the same thing except I use a scrapbook that I dont use anymore. Instead of putting pages in the page protectors.. I put all of my stickers and stuff.
Answer:
I have a file cabinet with different hanging files for different sticker "themes".....baby, holiday, religious, sports, etc. Right now it is an absolute MESS, but generally it does help me know where everything is!!!
Ember....speaking of...where did you get your paper holders? I have cleared the top of a chest of drawers off that I keep scrapbooking stuff in...just to put my paper..but wanted to know where you got your holders first!!
Answer:
Ember said she got hers from stampin up. I was shopping around for something and at Target they have cropper hopper (I think that was the brand name) ones for like $6.99. Each one holds 200 sheets of 12x12. I didn't get any yet, but I think I might.
