Ahh.. to be organized!

For awhile now, I've been thinking of ways to better organize some of my things- and just recently did a little re-org to my clear stamps. Before I kept them in their original plastic packaging and in a basket (intended for CDs) and flipped thru them until I found the one I wanted. Well now..


I found these clear plastic DVD cases at my local office supply store. I kept both the clear printed acetate and the card that came with the packaging, slipped it in the front and the back to keep it all together. Printed out the name & company of each stamp set onto clear mailing labels and stuck those on the spines of the cases. I bought the same kind of cases in CD size for the smaller sets I own- I haven't gotten to these yet...

I am loving this "system"- I feel more productive being organized (though it doesn't always show when I'm crafting :)) much easier when I can actually find what I need!

Now.. what's next in line to re-organize?

    I'm glad you posted this. I like that - so the larger sets will fit in a DVD case. Off I go to search.... :) Clarian's Hawk

    I was thinking of doing the same think with the few clear stams have.
    Now that I saw yours, I'll certainly do it!

    My congratulations for your cards, they are so beatiful.
