Scrap Paper Storage

December 3, 2008

Please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t part with paper scraps?!? I’m convinced that I’ll be able to use all those small bits again somewhere along the way. Unfortunately until this point I’ve not had a way to organize them. So I’ve just been dumping them into a container like this …

Needless to say this isn’t the only bin like this that I own! Since Patrick has agreed to move out of “our” office (let’s be honest, he had a tiny little place to sit and the rest was all STAMP paraphanelia!) and take his computer upstairs in the playroom I have more space for storage. So I decided to find a way to organize these tubs of paper so I might actually use them. Especially now that I have my Big Shot - scraps are fabulous with that little baby - I want to be able to see what I have easily!

Here’s what I’ve come up with to sort and store the scraps…

These will fit under the desk where I sit now so I’ll have easy acces to them but they won’t be taking up valuable real estate. I have a drawer for each Stampin’ Up! color family, one for Whisper White and Very Vanilla, one for Neutrals, one for In-Colors, one for Designer Series Paper, and the last one is for all Retired papers.

I’m excited that I have a plan now I just have to sort those bins! Believe it or not I have already taken a lot out of that black one and it looks like it hasn’t been touched! It might take a while but I’m already using the bins for classes and clubs as I prep. Let’s hope it works!
