Organizational Challenge: Paper

Here is the challenge post: My Love Affair with the Label Maker: Organize Your Stuff Challenge - Week 4

So now that we're on a week that I don't have to worry about, I'm catching up on some of the old weeks. Paper was a biggie, but went surprisingly quickly, as it was mostly sorted, just not in one place.

I did reorganize my patterned paper into two groups - single sheets and lines. Lines got pulled out of my color-sorted folders and moved back together. I really only buy about 10 manufacturers by line, so it made sense to sort them together. It's also a good reminder to STOP buying a manufacturer when it's clear I'm not actually using much of their paper - sorry SEI, but after this, you've been added to my No Buy list.

For the first time in about 2 years, all my paper is finally in one place.



The post it notes are temporary - I need to get more tape for my labelmaker :) I'll take a more detailed, closeup pics after I label.

As you can see, paper takes up 3 shelves on the right side of my (former) armoire. It's my guilty pleasure.

Top Shelf:
Scraps in a 8x8 Cropper Hopper vertical file.
8x8 DCWV cardstock - for cardmaking
8x8 Bazzill cardstock - for layouts - still wish they made this!
8x8 paper pads - these are October Afternoon, Fancy Pants and Making Memories 8x8 pads with matching embellishments. LOVE them for making mini/theme albums.

Second shelf:
     Project files and Albums in Progress
     Specialty papers by type in Cropper Hopper Paper Pouches:
          Lace/Doily
          Pearlescent/Bling/Metallic
          Die cut
          Velvet/Flocked
          Ledger/Lined/Grid (for journaling)
          Transparent (vellum, Hambly, KI place mats)
     Doodlebug/KI/Chatterbox papers and cardstock. I'm nearly out of the early KI and Chatterbox rooms. Sniff.

Third Shelf:
     Bazzill cardstock - current Canvas/Grass Cloth colors. Lots of 8.5x11 Mono packs with 12x12.
     Patterned Paper single sheets - by color in Cropper Hopper Paper Files
     Discontinued Bazzill - kept separate from the other stash so I know not to hunt for a matching sheet if I'm doing a 2 pager.
     Patterned Paper by manufacturer/line:
          BasicGrey
          American Crafts
          SEI
          Crate Paper
          Collage Press
          Scenic Route
          My Mind's Eye
          Lily Bee
          Making Memories
     Pebbles & Imaginisce pre-packaged kits.

And that's it for paper. Hopefully I can keep it this organized!
