Storing Stickles

I saw this over in THIS thread on 2PEAS: GLITTER STAIRS to store all your Stickles!

Looks like you can buy one HERE; price is $29.99 I heart Stickles which, if you’re not familiar, is a very special type of glitter glue you can use in your scrapbooking and cardmaking. Stickles has a nice pointy tip so they come out in a fine line, and yet the consistency of the “glue” is such that it doesn’t goop up, you just get a nice clean line.

By storing them upside down you avoid clogging and this is a cute way to do it. These Stickles are sold in our store. Click the "store" link on the blog. Happy Creating!

How to store your Stamps

Hello Everyone! Wanted to share with you another organizing tip:storing stamps. I organized my wood stamps according to theme on these shelves in my office. I bought these at Michaels Craft store using a 40% coupon on each one. It works great because I can visually see what stamps I have. Below the picture is a video on a great way to store your clear stamps. I do exactly what she does in her video so I thought that was cool she did a video on it. Happy Crafting!

Organizing Scrapbook Paper

Often scrappers ask each other how they store and organize their 12" x 12" paper? I thought I'd share a system that has worked well for me. My collection of pattern papers has become an obsession and I needed a way to organize it so that I would know exactly where to look to find the perfect paper when I was working on a page. I first organized my cardstock by color, and then by the shade of that color. I placed the solid cardstock in Cropper Hopper Vertical 12x12 paper organizers (sold in store) The pattern paper I organize by theme and manufacturer. Costco had these scrapbook tower organizers that can in so handy! LOVE THEM! Your stack of patterned papers may be divided differently than mine, but these categories will give you an idea of how it can be done.

I list most pattern papers by manufacturer and then:

Solid - papers that are mostly solid colors, but are not cardstock
Stripes
Swirls
Dots
Plaid
Stars
Floral -papers with flowers or leaves as the primary design
Realistic - animal prints, wood grain, photographic scenes, etc.
Specialty Paper - mulberry, handmade, velveteen, metallic, etc.
Vellum
Embossed

Disney

Baby

Travel

Holidays

Miscellaneous - anything that doesn't fit in the categories above

More on the Scrap Room

Whew! So busy last couple of days...Christmas is coming in warp speed! Why is Christmas just like a day at the office? You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit. Hope all of you are keeping warm tonight...I am all wrapped up in a "Snuggie" lol! sippin a cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate. YUMMO!! Before I go crawl in bed for a good book I thought I would share with you some more pictures on how I set up my scrapbook room and ideas for organizing. I purchased my desk from Pottery Barn, the shelves above the desk from Home Depot (holds all my Cricut carts, chipboard embellishments and photos). The white storage boxes I purchased at Walmart. I have binders on my shelves to that are labeled Tutorials, Cutting files, Cricut shortcuts and sheets, Manufacturer info and layout ideas.

Storing Punches

The far right drawer stores all small and medium sized hand punches. Tomorrow I will post more on how I store cardstock, pattern papers and tools. Happy Scrapping!

Storing Ribon

The middle drawer holds all my loose ribbons. I used ribbon cards

(sold in store) to wrap each one. In my closet I have two Ribbon Embellishment organizers by Making Memories. I used a 50% of coupon at Michaels craft store to buy them :) This is where I store my ribbons on spools.

Storing Small Embellishments

The first drawer hold my embellishments that I use quite often like

brads, eyelets and jump rings. The little plastic containers used

is actually baby food containers :) works out great!

Storing Embossing Supplies and Prima Flowers

The above wall cabinets is what I store all my Prima flower jars, embossing/ paint supplies, mulberry paper for tear bears. My embossing supplies are stored in plastic containers that I purchased from Walmart for 1.00-2.00 each and fit perfectly in the cabinet :)

Setting up your Scrapbook Room and storing supplies

The cabinets and counter top are from the Home Depot. The green paint is also from Home Depot.

The Shelf just above the counter I purchased at
