Tip of the Day: Storing Paper Scraps

021 020I’ve been working on organizing….putting all of my new colors of ink pads and paper away.  So much fun!  Since I had to clean everything out and it’s Tip of the Day Tuesday, I thought I’d share with you how I store my paper scraps.  We all have them…some more than others…but what do you do with them?

I start with an expandable pocket folder.  I’ve sorted my card stock by color.  Then I have 2-3 colors of card stock in each folder.  I put a full sheet of each color in the folder and then I will place the scraps in front of the full sheet that has the color’s name written on it.  I also took a long piece of clear packing tape and put it over the name of the card stock and the top edge to protect it a bit.  I have all my folders of scraps in a plastic file bin.

This method works well for me.  When I want a certain color scrap I just got to the correct folder and find the size I need.  What do you think of my method?  How do you store your scraps?  Leave a comment and let me know!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
