My goal of getting my craft room more organized will start with my embossing folders. I have so many! (as I’m sure you do as well) and vary in size and shape. This is a time waster as it takes a major search every time I want some texture. I decided to use Micheals Card Keeper by Recollections which comes with 6 adjustable dividers. I didn’t want to make them fit too tight so I have plenty of space to get my hand in and pull them out. First I made them into piles by likeness, then narrowed it down to categories:
Box one:
Fall: leaves, Halloween,
Winter: Snowflakes, Christmas
Occasions: Valentine’s, Hearts, Graduation
Words: Any folders with words, Hello, Thank you
Objects: Physical objects like Horseshoes, mason jar, clocks
Nautical: Waves, anchors, seashells
Box Two:
Frames: Borders
Nature: Trees, Wood grain, Birds, Butterflies, Clouds, stars, sun burst
Flowers: All floral patterns (I have a lot!)
Box Three:
CIrcles and Dots: I use these frequently and have a good assortment
Argyle and basket weave: I added anything that looks like a material print too like hounds tooth and mosaic
Lines and Chevron: anything with lines
X large Texture: this has the new thick texture folders from stampin up and we R memory keepers
Victorian
I used the Dymo Letra Tag to make my labels for the dividers, and a sharpie to write on each folder what section to put it back in. I will update here in a few weeks to let you know how it’s working out!
