Scraps! |

Well, anybody who scrapbooks knows that one of best ways to save |
|
$$$ is to make use of all your scraps. I use mine a lot and |
|
challenge myself to make layouts using all scraps from time to |
|
time. They are also great for cards. My question for you today |
|
though, is how do you store your scraps? Do you have a great |
|
system that keeps them readily available? |

I follow the Ashli over at purplemailbox - I have them in |
|
paperholders by size - papers 12x6 or in that range go in one. |
|
Anything less than that goes in another. I had them all in |
|
hanging folders my mfg and it was a PIA and I never really |
|
looked. Now that I redesigned them along with how I store my |
|
regular pattern paper which is in a box that holds most all of |
|
them and I flip through them to see what matches what when I'm |
|
putting a page together. |
|
Sometimes I'll just go through the scraps and then line up the |
|
base page. C/S is still in hanging folders by color. It's easier |
|
that way. |

I've been using this system for 8 years and I love it. I am up |
|
to 2 crates and recently put all cardstock in one and all pp in |
|
the other, but wither way, its the first thing I pull. |

Cool, I like that! I have a kind of accordian expandable file |
|
thingy that I won for hosting a CM party and that's what I use. |
|
I have all the card stock sorted by color and a couple of |
|
pockets for the patterned stuff - seems to work well for me :) |

I sometimes have to challenge myself to only use scraps. I'm |
|
amazed at how much paper I have. |
|
I brought home a display rack from work that will be perfect for |
|
storing papers. (I just have to modify it a bit. Including |
|
paint it as it's a very dark green right now. It once housed |
|
moulding blocks.) |
