Oops! Another scrapbook question I forgot to include in my other post..

[C.Ann]

How do you organize all of your supplies? My biggest problem is all of my stickers, die-cuts, bits & pieces of patterned papers, and long borders..

Does anyone use one of those rolling plastic storage units with the seven drawers that is currently on sale at Walmart this week? I hate having to dig around for my supplies and find that I can accomplish MUCH more if I can get things organized in an orderly fashion..

Thanks!

I use the 5-drawer one for stickers, die cuts, and punchies.

I have them catagorized:

* Animals
* Outdoors
* School
* Seasons / Holidays
* Misc

I also have a rolling file cart for my paper. I love them. They can be wheeled around to whatever room you decided to work in. For traveling, I have the Creative Memories Album tote and take the supplies that I will be useing at a crop.

Hope this helps.

For the bits and pieces of paper, I use a file box, and have a file for each color of paper, that way as I'm scrapping, I just put my leftovers of that color right into the file, then when I need a color later, I can just grab that file and use it. I use the Crop in Style sticker binder for all my stickers and die cuts.

I have a 3 ring sticker organizer I bought at Michaels - works great! Love it!
Then I bought these big plastic (colored but transparent) folders where I keep my paper 1 12X12 for solids, 1 12X12 for pattered, same for 8 1/2 X 11 and I keep this is a drawer or my bag (also bought at Michaels with the 40%off coupon!
I also use an accordian style folder for all the scraps (best organizer I needed!) one section for each color!

I think Patty and I have the same style set up!
I love my scrap in style sticker binder. Very good deal when you use a Michael's coupon! I have all of my stickers, die cuts and letters in it. Plus I use those colored plastic file folders to put my scraps in.
I guess you need to look at how and where you are going to scrap. If you are mobil, (which I am, no scrapping area) I bought the scrap in style xxlarge tote on wheels I do love it but it sure gets heavy!

Great minds think alike Spinning - especially traveling scrappers!
I bought the bag at Michaels (40% off) and It carries quite a bit (album - paper- sticker binder-pens-tape runners, etc) and I also bought a Disney tote on our last trip ( I bought to much stuff and needed it to get home) that I recycled to use as an additional scrap bag for punches - scissors - etc (seperated by ziplock bags)! No big tote to lug here! I just try to bring what I need for the pages I'm working on (why bring wedding paper if your working on Disney album etc.)
DH just made me a scrapping area in our room! LOVE IT! all it is - a filing cabinet and 3 large plastic drawer stacked with a large peice of plywood on top - covered with material (extra set of curtain panels to match room) and a peice of plexi-glass on top of that! I need the filing cabinet for business stuff - but the drawers are great for extra pictures, snappacks, xyron, etc. and I have plenty of room underneath for all my photo storage boxes, bags, and stuff!

I also use my Scrap In Style Binder for my stickers...works out great and I agree, it was a great deal with the 40% off coupon!

I also have a 5 drawer box that sits on my table...it isn't very big, but it is great for holding smaller pieces of cardstock, diecuts, glue sticks, pictures, ect...I love it and would probably be lost without it now!

Organization?? Hmm what's that???
LOL-I have not gotten any storage yet, I have tons of stickers,paper,paper peicings ect and it is all in piles around the room! I have a shoe box for picture envelopes and a teensy little 3 drawer thingy to hold pens,scissors,and punchies!
