Storage thoughts and ideas - card related

     Storage doesn't have to take a ton of money in order to keep your stuff organized and in one place.  For my cards, I use a simple box that used to hold envelopes in - after they are gone, then I can use the box!  I added categories such as Anniversary/Wedding, Baby, Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You, Note-cards and things I use a lot of.  As I am scrapbooking and have paper or things left over from what I am doing, I add the scraps of paper to the categories I have in my box.  This way - if I am working on a birthday card and I don't have one already made, I can make it from the scraps I have!  

     I like to keep things in one place, instead of all over the place in drawers and things.  As I want to work on something - a birthday card lets say - I grab my box to see what I have available first.  I then look at the stamps I have and the embellishments I have and see what I can put together with what I have.  One thing I don't like to do - is try to get a card made at the last minute - or use supplies I didn't want to use.  As you are making die cuts for other projects - make some extras for cards or other projects down the line.  Keep track of them in the same type of categories you use with your cards.  It's a simple thing to do - spend a bit of time organizing your scraps!
