I have been working on reorganizing my scrapbook area. I'll be sharing it as I get it completed. Here's Scrapbook Area 1 that I previously completed.
Today I finished reorganizing my paper stash. I didn't take any before pictures because there wasn't any dramatic changes.
Before, I had all my paper separated by colors. Both scraps and full 12 x 12 sheets were in the same drawer. This was no good. I could never find my scraps and ended up cutting up 12 x 12 paper when I really didn't need to.
I decided to separate by 12 x 12 paper from by paper scraps.
The first step was to dump out all my paper and separate it all. This took several days and I did it little by little.
The next step was to find my BFF, my label maker!!
I made labels for my 12 x 12 paper...
... and for my paper scraps.
Here's my 12 x 12 paper, separated by color... pink, red, orange, and yellow...
...green, blue, purple and white...
...black and brown, miscellaneous...
Then below I started with the scraps... pink and red...
... orange, yellow, and green...
...blue, purple, black, brown and white.
The 12 x 12's
The scraps
The whole shabang. It may not look like much, but it makes finding what I need so much easier.
(Please ignore everything beside it; I'm still working on those.)
That looks great! I always love craft room organizing... It just looks cool.
