Organize It Friday - Tip #3: Storing 6x6 Designer Series Paper

Today's post shows how I organize and store my 6x6 Designer Series Paper. I use a clear acrylic bin I bought at Marshalls. The 6x6 designer series paper is organized with tabs by the name of the DSP packs.. In-Color, Brights, Neutrals, etc. I cut down colored manila folders for the divider tabs.

For convenience, I like to keep the scraps with the DSP paper . I keep the scraps in a Stampin' Up! Clear Envelope behind the tab. I also find it helpful to keep the label from the paper pack so I know what colors are included.

So in the spirit of sending a little joy, today I would like to introduce my Blog Hop One-For-One Card Swap (send a card, receive a card). If you have never participated in a card swap, now is your chance. You don't have to make ten cards or five cards - just make one card and mail it to me and in return, you will soon receive another card in the mail from me. It might be my card or a card from someone else who is participating in the swap. I will post all the cards I receive so everyone can enjoy the ideas.

Here's how it works:

You mail me a hand made card (standard size 5 1/2" x 4 1/4") designed by you. Full card, no card fronts
Please make every effort to use only current Stampin' Up! Catalog items - let's see your best work
Include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your card (fold an envelope in half and include with your card)
Don't write on the inside of the card so the recipient can use it
Please mail your card to me at:
