I also use the binder method from Janet Madison (I love RTS videos). The difference is I use the photo pages you can peel back the cover, then add the sticker (or whatever) and then put the cover back over. I also have a separate binder for sentiments so I can always find them. For die cuts, I use baseball card pages, business card pages or other pocket pages to store some of the bigger items
This is great! I may divide into color categories. Like warm colors, cool colors, bright and neutrals. But I like your organization! I know some crafters use those 8 x 11 photo album pages that have the static sheets. They were used long ago for photo albums but you can still buy them. That way you don't have to put sticky on the back, they stick to the album page and the sheet goes over them. I have thought about doing that.
I am using the magnetic pages for ephemera but not in an album. I have the pages in a plastic file container. That way I can find what a need easily by theme. Maybe I will add some of my random stickers.
I like your plan for your colors! I've seen the sticky albums after I started this, may try it someday to save the extra step of adding the adhesive. It's funny, I worked so hard to get all those types of albums out, even donated some back in the day, now to bring it back in, that will be hard. :)
I started to do it this way too after watching Janet, except I do themes instead of colors. It sure makes so much more room and I like being able to flip through my stickers. She has some of the best idea's.
Thanks for sharing how you organize. I’ve started doing that with ephemera packs because they are so much easier to see on a page. I need to do that with some stickers and scraps. I would totally use that bird!! Cute!!
I do love organizational video's. I have tried a few different things to get organized.with word, animals, floral or foliage, etc. which is working for me right now.
Once I take the mat cards out of the collection, they go into a simple little basket, by color of course. Nothing too exciting, I will try to show on a video soon.
Yep, somethings it's hard to equally use all our materials, I have to make it an effort sometimes. This year I am trying to add something from my stash on every layout, hopefully that will help me remember.
Love the organization videos! Would you mind sharing what your sections are for ordering stickers and such other than by color? (eg travel, Christmas, etc) Thank you so much! Great video!
Hi Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it was fun to share. You asked for me to share my other categories, besides by color. Do you mean how I store them, or how I order them?
Thank you Cynthia, my family and I are safe. We are a bit removed from the area of the fires. We have seen some smoke in the distance, but really that's it. Hoping the winds calm down soon.
We can get it almost anywhere here in the US, mostly to cooking aisle of the grocery store. Others have suggested those sticky albums that you peel back the top.
Wow it seems like a lot of double work. It seems like you could eliminate a couple steps by just bringing out your sorting box when you are done with your project instead of duping it in your little boxes. It shouldn’t take much more time to sort your leftovers at the point when you finish with your project. I know you keep saying it doesn’t take very long but double work to me is a waste of my time. The bottom line is that we as crafters have way too much stuff leftover that we will probably never use. At least I know I have way too much and I keep adding to it every time I go to a store, retreat or online shop. New stuff is always coming out and we feel the need that we need to have it 😂 Thanks for your time and showing your method.
I would love to know how you store your stickers and die cuts.

Thank you Debbie, these are some great ideas. You got me thinking, I might need a binder for sentiments. Hmm. :)

I've done some of my themes like this, it helps save space too, so everything is not bunched up in a baggie or envelope.
Thanks Diane i have wondered how you stored this stuff!

LOL! You are going to love organizing your stickers, it makes everything so much easier to find!

Organizing is so important! It makes scrapping so much easier.
You shared some great ways and tips to organizing!
Thanks so much!
GREAT video!!! I'd be interested in seeing how you store your mat packs. Thanks again!!!
Once I take the mat cards out of the collection, they go into a simple little basket, by color of course. Nothing too exciting, I will try to show on a video soon.
Thanks for this detailed description of your system. Seeing you pull things together for layouts makes more sense now!
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
I enjoy seeing how others organize. Thank you.
Me too! :)
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
You're welcome! I hope they're helpful.
Thank you for an enjoyable video
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful. I have a drawer that holds my old stickers, and you can guess, I don't tend to use them. Stickers in binders are also forgotten.
Yep, somethings it's hard to equally use all our materials, I have to make it an effort sometimes. This year I am trying to add something from my stash on every layout, hopefully that will help me remember.
Thank you for sharing. What a great way to organize your stickers
You're welcome! I hope it helps.

@ actually, what those categories are and whether you have a different binder per category. Thank you!
@@laurachristopher3614 Okay, got it. Yes, I will show that someday, thanks!
I hope you're safe during the devastating fires in LA.
Thank you Cynthia, my family and I are safe. We are a bit removed from the area of the fires. We have seen some smoke in the distance, but really that's it. Hoping the winds calm down soon.
@DianeGutierrezScrapbooking Glad to hear that.
Great ideas. Where do you get your wax paper. Can't buy it in Western Australia.
We can get it almost anywhere here in the US, mostly to cooking aisle of the grocery store. Others have suggested those sticky albums that you peel back the top.
Always do this also.
Yay!!
