    I’m so glad I’m not the only one with scraps that are out of control and a literal TON of WIPs. I’ve been going through them lately cleaning them up. I used Jennifer McGuire’s idea of using a photo album to keep my already stamped and cut out sentiments and die cuts. I have envelopes similar to yours in a 3 ring binder for my scraps. I use the envelopes like what you use for your scraps for my kits

    I love this vid-
    Allllllllllllll that time and paper wasted trimming down gelli prints- makes me so glad I got one 12x12 gel plate. No matter what size I want to do, I can and there’s ZERO trimming or waste.
    And I only have to store ONE plate but can make anything from inchies to full sheets of 12x12 paper. Time, energy and space: saved.
    Off to buy colored pouches. 👍🏼✅

    I glue all my tiny scraps into 3 layers, and snip to size, and use instead of foam pads - saves them going in the bin, plus it saves me money!

    I’m also in the middle of organizing / purging craft supplies. Love the color coordinated pouches! As well, making everything ready to use. So when we have our "creative hat" on, we don’t have to cut down half finished things etc. lots of organizing inspiration. Thanks for sharing! 😊

    Because I watched this earlier, I just ordered these pouches today. I just happen to have a clear blue box (made to hold legal file folders) that I rescued from parents house cleanout, so thought that would be a good place to put my cardstock scraps, and 3 packs ofA4 looseleaf printed paper I found on clearance.
    I should be able to make good use of all 20 pouches. The accordian folder just wasn't working for me anymore, but I think these will.

    I loved watching this! I just spend several hours doing something similar Christmas cards and sentiments, holiday papers, ephemera, etc! I plan on up cycling them to make new cards and tags! I don’ have near the amount of 12 x 12 paper you have and I have no dyes . Could you tell me what brand is your paper trimmer please . I’ve been looking for a good size with the guillotine blade. It seems so much easier to use!
