Thursday's Tip!!

 
Welcome to Thursday's Tip!!
 
Today I am sharing how I store my flowers...I don't have alot of Stampin'Up flowers, so those are just kept separate in one of the large containers.  But my non-SU flowers are, yep, you guessed it, stored by color!!  That seems to be the theme for my storage organization!!  I guess, if it works, then go with it!  Plus there's the added bonus of how pretty they look!  I have a Making Memories Scrapbooking Embellishment Organizer that I keep the jars of ribbons in...

THANKS and as always...

Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'!

Thursday's Tip!!!

Stampin'Up!  Small Embellishment Storage
 
Non-SU Small Embellishment Storage
 
Welcome to Thursday's Tip!!
 
Today I am sharing how I store my small embellishments...eyelets, brads, etc.  Because I am a Stampin'Up! demonstrator, I DO keep my SU! embellishments SEPARATE from my non-SU!  This just makes it easier when I am doing a class or workshop...I can just go to my SU Stack & Store Caddy and pull from them!  I have two Stack & Store Caddys (I got mine FREE from SU with my Great Rewards Points!) and they are WONDERFUL!!!  Most of SU's small embellishments come in the Stack & Store Containers...but if you need more, you can purchase them separately.  As you can see, I also keep my Baker's Twine, Linen Thread and regular Twine here too!  The Stack & Store Caddy and Containers are available in the IBC, pg 226, Caddy is # 109127 ($34.95) and the Containers are item # 103649 (set of 6 for $3.95).

However, I have been scrapping (and card making) for ALOT of years and I have ALOT of non-SU stuff...so I had to figure out a way to store them.  Since I am a "color" scrapper...what I mean is that I don't look for a certain type of embellishment (like an eyelet or brad), nor do I look for a certain manufacturer...I look for a COLOR!  So I figured I would sort my small embellishments by color!  Made sense to me!  I wanted something that wouldn't take up very much counter space, but I like for things to be visible...if I see it, I tend to use it more.  I first thought of getting a lazy susan and putting containers on it...but my best friend saw a revolving spice rack and, after making sure that the spice jars had a large enough mouth, figured it would be PERFECT!!  I now have 18 separate containers separated by color!  It works great for me!

Stamp/Scrap Room ReOrganization!!

This is a cabinet that holds my SU 8.5x11 paper that my father in law made me!!  Don't you LOVE IT?!?!?  I gave him the specifications that I wanted (depth, width, how many slots, etc) and he had it made in just a few hours!!  It holds two color collections per row and I even had room for the specialty paper (Shimmery White, Glossy White, Brushed Silver, Brushed Gold, etc)

My way of labeling each color...

My storage for 12x12 SU paper and scraps!  Each color collection has it's own paper holder, including one for the InColors (not pictured).

Inside each collection's paper holder is a paper file for each color that holds scraps and the 12x12 paper is stored in front.

Example of one paper file and scraps

This is my wonderful ink pad storage from OrganizeMore!  I LOVE how it will hold the 4 SU color collections, the INColors and I still have room at the bottom for other misc stamp pads!

This is my storage for my SU re-inkers, sponges, etc...Each color collection has a row and the bottom row is misc re-inkers.

Example of one of the boxes...

Contents: re-inkers, sponges, daubers and foam thingees (these are GREAT for highlighting raised embossed designs!)!
I just had to share...I am in the process of relocating my stamping and scrapping supplies to another room and wanted to share some of my new organization!
