Right now I have my scraps in a file cabinet, sorted by color families and this will work better, I can roll it over to where I am working and will be more likely to "use" those scraps I've been hoarding!!<br />janeJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045658151574570190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939855902416286286.post-86776955643222713492009-12-05T06:59:32.663-06:002009-12-05T06:59:32.663-06:00Found this WAY late (there are only a few weeks le...Found this WAY late (there are only a few weeks left) so I'm more than a few weeks behind. <br /><br />I just wanted to add that I store my paper and most of my scraps together. I have large ziplock-type bags that I got from CTMH. I sort my 12x12 by color, label the bag with a black sharpie and then put my 'scraps' of that color or pattern right back in that bag when done with a project. That way, the next time I pull that color out, I can see right away whether I have a scrap the right size in that color or if I have to actually cut a new sheet. I do have a small fabric basket and a larger plastic box for storing those last bits of odd paper (when there isn't enough of something left to warrant it's own bag any longer). <br /><br />Oh - and thank you so much for sharing this with the rest of us. It's encouraging to know that this is the system you used and that you've managed to keep it working for you so long!hatterschmuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047207505935007796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939855902416286286.post-58754536357438433062009-07-05T15:27:22.329-05:002009-07-05T15:27:22.329-05:00Thank you soooo much, Wookiemouse!

When I'm putting adhesive on things, I'm not exactly "neat" about it. I often times go off the edges of items that are not straight edges. I wasn't using my scraps on my pages or cards, so I started using them under things that I knew I'd be messy with my adhesive on. Now I don't get gunk stuck to my table or cutting mat and that makes clean up and scrapping much easier in general!<br /><br />Thanks for doing this blog....I'm loving your tasks!Melissa Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301847140440814568noreply@blogger.com
