Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue! So many embellishments and so many colors. It seems logical to organize all these awesome embellishments by type: flowers, brads, clips, etc. This used to be the way I organized. When I needed an embellishment, I would have to search through every type. What I noticed is usually I knew what color I needed, just not what I wanted. So, color organization seemed much easier - and it is.
Use jars, containers - anything clear makes it much easier. Make labels with the color on it if it's not evident what color is inside. Sorting everything took a bit of time (Lynn came and organized my scrapbook room - embellishments took the longest!) But, when organized finding the perfect embellishment for a project is soooo much easier.
Challenge this week is to set up an embellishment system - or at least think about what would work best for you. Try it - you'll like it!
Until Next Week - be scrappy! Pat
Pat, I'm inspired by your posts and finally made some more desk space for the typical double-page layouts I work on, by putting up two shelves from Ikea - a total cost of about $11. Now I have more space and am so excited that I even made progress on Jordan's scrapbook. He comes home from Uruguay in 11 weeks and I only have his album done through the MTC! Wish me luck! - Dorene
