I spent Monday organizing in my scrapbook room. Every once in awhile ya just gotta go through everything: sort, purge and rediscover! My scrapbook room is ever evolving and I am always looking for a better way to sort and store my goodies. I am always reorganizing and rethinking my creative process to see what works best. Part of the problem that I have is that once I put it away...I sometimes forget about it. I rediscovered some gems!
I love these drawers but I have a tendency to just shove stuff in them despite the fact that I had most of the drawers clearly labeled. Now, this is one of my least favorite things to organize because it can be time consuming. I too all 20 drawers out into the living room and set to work purging. I rethought my current organization and reevaluated my scrapbook process to see what made the most sense. I decided to create the following categories:
Brads
Borders
stickers
Quotes, phrases and words
frames, tags & punches
Ocean/beach
Christmas/winter
Chipboard Letters
Thickers
letters (sticker etc)
3D stickers & rub ons
journal spots
Flowers
Fall
Chipboard shapes (2 drawers worth)
felt, fabric etc.
misc. embellishments
So far so good.
I absolutely love this piece. It was once a spice rack but I painted it black and re-purposed it. I keep it within arms reach over my desk so I can easily reach all of my treasures!
A rare glimpse inside the white cabinet. I actually went through my paper and got rid of a few hundred sheets of paper (mostly older paper pads). I haven't even gone through my cropper hoppers of single sheets yet. I still have some organizing to do but I am off to a good start!
Have a great day!
