I just PMed you Lucy

I have a pretty big desk with 6 drawers & then a bedside table that my printer sits on with another 4 drawers & I have stuff everywhere too Tegan. I think it's just the nature of the beast - scrapbooking is messy business!

I've been trying to tidy everything in the last few days & have come up with a bit of a system which seems to be working. I have drawers dedicated to stickers, other embellishments, photos, scrap paper, templates / scissors and A4 paper. Other than that I have my 12x12 papers divided into patterned & plains. If I have a set (like papers, stickers etc that are all related) I have them together but I have no idea where to put them yet! For eyelets, brads, beads, sequins etc etc I bought little craft holders from Spotlight for about $3 and they are all divided up into them. I also have a pencil case with all of my glues, pens, textas etc in & I have a shoebox under my desk with ribbons & fibres. Now I just have to figure out where to put my Sizzix dies, inks, chalks & stamps & I'll be set!!

I like the idea of the craft totes, but haven't gotten aroun to getting one yet. Problem is when I do, it's going to be expensive cos I have soooo much stuff!

Lucy, I find the $2 shops are fantastic for embellishments. I have heaps of different bits & pieces cos I can't resist when I go into them LOL!! As for scanning, I never do!! I just take a photo & hope it shows the colours properly. I would suggest doing it before you put it into it's sleeve otherwise you'll get too much reflection!

Hey Shannon, did you watch DIY Scrapbooking when they did the embellishment with the buttons that said baby??? I tried it out with a Christmas tree & it turned out sooo good

Lea, Michelle, Nell how are you guys going??
