Lately, I've been getting more of an opportunity to scrapbook. It's about time too because I'm so far behind on my scrapping it's not even funny, but I noticed last night when I was scrapping for my DD book I was having trouble finding coordinating papers. So hence my craft room re-do. I spent most of tonight sorting out my card stock and pattern paper and it's not even half way done. (guess I like paper more than I thought). I have to say it looks like a bomb went off in my craft room right now. Last night I spent an hour or so looking for better ways to store my paper and I read a lot of articles on paper systems. I have to say there is so many ways that your head can spin off. At the end of all my research I just decided to use the RAINBOW method (sorting by color then sort by theme). Hopefully that will help with my frustration of finding papers that go together. I was going to take pictures of the steps I will be taking to re-do my craft room and decided I would spare all of you and just post the finish project. I ordered some storage from a couple of my favorite stores last night and I can't wait for them to come in so I can finish this project.
If you have any tips about organizing your craft room I would love to hear them leave me a message. Well it's getting late and the kids have school tomorrow so I am off to dream land thanks for stopping by.

An accidental (but ideal) place that I stumbled upon to keep organized my pile of card stock that I seem to have habitually collected is an Interior Designers pouch. They use it for similar purposes, but of course for Interior Design samples and organizing on a project by project basis - A3 in size with expanding wallet compartments. You can even insert a fingertip sized card sample into the tabs of each section.
