Quick tips for sorting your paper stash

I’ve been sorting my papers and thought I’d share a few tips for what seems to be working for me. If you are trying to get your paper stash organized, this might be helpful for you.

Watching you discard some pieces gave me permission to be more ruthless when I’m sorting my paper.

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Yes! It's okay to get rid of things you don't like!!!

[@updatedjustnow271]

I do stuff like this when I’m not feeling creative. And every time it inspires something in me.

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Yes! That is a really good point. It's a great way to find inspiration!

[@marceehampton2269]

Same!

[@pmwalz]

Some call it “craft admin” - I love that term because it’s still a useful task!

[@MimiBondi]

Any tip, even if obvious, is worth sharing cos you just never know who’s watching 😊 Keep sharing ❤

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Thanks so much!!

[@marceehampton2269]

Love to see it sorted by color! That’s gotta be helpful!

[@eb_mixedmedia]

It really is! I can't get over it!

[@creativebeanart]

I do this too, as colour is what drives me to create, rather than the image itself.

Totally inspirational...this is long overdue for me & I am doing this today! I especially loved the permission to throw away anything we don't love. It's funny how some of us need that permission (and by "us" I mean ME 😉). Because lets be honest, for an art journaler, paper is abundant and we can always make anything we might need later. I prefer that mentality to storing EVERY little paper scrap "just in case" and then never using it. So thanks for sharing exactly what I needed today! 😊

[@eb_mixedmedia]

I am the same. I save too much and then when I cannot see it, because it is stuffed in a drawer or folder or basket, I never use it. Having less and having it more accessible means you can find things and actually USE them. At least that is what I'm finding.

I do love your work and look for your posts everyday.

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Thank you so much. Glad you are finding it helpful!

[@leahwolfe8999]

Thanks! I went upstairs to sort a pile! 💙💚💛

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Oh, that's great!

[@marinakitto6567]

You have some delicious papers. I’d love it if you’d consider making a video when you have a making session please? But you have a lot, so maybe that won’t happen for a while 😀. I’m new to your channel but I’m really enjoying checking out your videos. Thanks.

[@eb_mixedmedia]

Great idea! Thanks for the feedback!

You're welcome!

[@cathycirina-chiu6972]

would love to see how you now store those different piles...and remember where they are (if i don't see it i never remember it exists!)

[@eb_mixedmedia]

I agree. Out of sight out of mind. Maybe I'll make an organizing video--once I get fully organized that is! LOL!!
