Worse part it I keep finding more in odd spots too!

I think I have a paper problem also. I am ALWAYS buying paper, and I have only scrapped two pages in my life. I must have every Stack Pack of Paper ever on the market. Hopefully in 2005 I am going to get my stuff in gear and get some pages done.

No doubt about it. That's a LOT of paper, Patty! I used to buy a lot of paper just because I liked it or I thought I'd use it. Now I have lots of paper and no time to scrap!

 

[Twigs]

LOL! That is exactly how my paper looks too! I have way more than enough, but always seem to find some package that I "have" to have

Wow! Now I understand about the wallpapering thing! DD & I have what I thought was a lot of paper, considering we're still just starting our first book....maybe 100 sheets.

I'm willing to bet that I've got you beat in sheer quantity of 12 x 12 paper.... but maybe not... hard to tell how big those white boxes are! Anyhow, you are singing to the choir here!! Thanks for the chuckle..........P

 

[pattyT]

lol - the anount in the white boxes is probably equal to the amount in the big CM box!
I was tempted to count and see - but then decided I REALLY didn't want to know...

hmmm I could really WALLPAPER my walls with all this paper...
maybe in hy new scraproom when the house is done...

And isn't it amazing I find myself still not having that piece of paper that would work in a layout just right!
AUGH

So what's in the white boxes? Are you in a monthly club? I am... but am always keeping my eye out... LOL!!

 

[Alice28]

Oh my...that is a lot! I don't have quite that much, but a lot...and I find myself in the same dilemma...how can I have so many pieces of paper, but not the "right" one for certain layouts. Or I will love a certain shade of green (or insert your favorite color here) and I find I only have a half a sheet left and I just HATE all the other shades I have!

Those boxes-
were originally Club Scrap boxes - I was a member last year but didn't love it...
I did love the boxes though!
I used them to make theme boxes -
In each box are papers, stickers, and swap items from the different 'themes'
Some that I have are...

Sports
Americana/4th of July
Spring/Summer
Halloween/fall
Baby
New House
SEI sets

there - I had to go in my disney box (Matthew was Mickey for Halloween) so I pread everything out and took a picture so you could see what was in a box - but I am going to do that with all of them!

AUGGGHHH - I finished this post and went to go do the pages and found that I do not have 2 pieces of black 12x12 that are the same (I have one flat, one bazzil, one some other texture type) Better order more paper believe it or not...

Wow, and I though I had a lot of paper. Okay I do, but it's not as much as you do!

This is my problem too! I can never find the exact shade I want, it's so frustrating, sometimes.

So Patty, you keep your paper & embellishments all together in one box? like the Disney "stuff?" Interesting ... I keep my paper organized in the plastic 12"x12" trays I bought last year. Paper is organized by color or theme (Americana, Disney, etc.). My embellishments - stickers, die-cuts, etc. - are in file folders. The folders are in alphabetical in a basket. I like the idea of the paper & embellishments together though - food for thought ...

 

[AWorldofMemories]

I WANT your problems!!!

I love the idea about organizing by theme. And the boxes are a wonderful idea for storing it!! Never would have thought of that.
