Stickers, Stickers and more stickers

[JulianneP]

I love stickers. I use them more then anything for everything. Right now i store them in the CM binder but it is getting very full and a pain to lug out all the time. Any ideas for me??? How do you store all yours. I wish I had something that hung form the walls so I could see them and get to them easily.

Thanks

Hmmm....I just got organized and put all mine in a CM binder, and it is already getting full, but I love having them all in one place where I can see them. I have tried other things, like organizing them in a file folder, but then I didn't like that I couldn't just see them- had to take them out. I went to a CM big-wig's house once, and she had some great organizing ideas- not really for stickers, but maybe you could somehow incorporate this for you. She had 4-6 hanging plastic shoe pockets- you know, those things you hang on the inside of your closet door, and put one shoe in each pocket? She had all of her stuff organized in the pockets- and she had some different styled ones that I think were meant for purses that she stored bulkier items in. Maybe if you bought several of those, you could mount them on the wall or even in a closet and see your stickers- maybe separate them by season, event or brand. She used it for organizing her stuff for sale and I thought it was ingenius. But if you have THAT many stickers, it might not be practical. I also know that school supply stores sell those kinds of calendars they use in classrooms where the teacher puts each day of the week in a clear pocket- I had those in my classroom when I taught and since they're smaller pockets, it might be more condusive for storing small sheets of stickers. Good Luck!

I have tried lots of different sticker storage methods. Now I have a combination. First, I have a sticker binder. That's where I keep the tiny sticker squares and strips that might get lost in a folder. I also have a plastic box for file folders. I guess it's about half a cube and has a lid with a handle. My files are organized by theme, like -- alphabets, beach, babies, kids, christmas, halloween, DISNEY, girls, boys, vacation, friends, flowers, etc., etc. That way if I'm working on a project, I can pull out the folder that goes along with it.

I tend to scrap in stages -- first choosing a bunch of pictures; then picking colors, embellishments; next cropping; and finally putting them in the book and journaling. That way I don't have to take all my stuff with me to a crop.

Have fun!

Alice- I never thought I would use my sentence strip display again after teaching. How clever! Too bad I donated to my school when I left. I think I will borrow my neices and see how many stickers it could hold.

Thanks or both ideas!! I think I might do files for all my die cuts. I have 100's form when I was a CM consultant. Their the old big ones that are hard to store.
