Organizing your Scrapbook "Stuff"

Before I can show you Power Layouts Step 2, I'll give you peek into how I organize my scrapbook "stuff" (paper and stickers):

I have this cool folder holder called a Power Palette Organizer .

(I dunno why they didn't call it a Folder Holder but I guess Power Palette Organizer is alright.)

Mine is quite full but it works for me. I sort my paper/stickers by theme and then as I need a certain theme I just pull out a folder:

Each folder has a few pockets so I have full sheets of paper, cut up pieces of paper (scraps), letter stickers, and decorative stickers all seperate from each other.

Of course, you'll want to come up with your top used themes (that you take pictures of) but here are mine:

Summer

Travel

Fall

School

Sports

Christmas

Winter

Birthdays

Spring

Baby

Boy

Girl

Animals
...then for papers/stickers that don't have a specific theme, I sort by color:

Metallics

Neutrals

Yellows

Oranges

Reds

Pinks

Purples

Blues

Greens

Some of my folders get quite full:

I have something similar for my smaller sticker sheets...which I've condensed into the same themes:

So now that you can access your 'stuff', you are ready to decorate your pages that you have laid out in Power Layouts Step One. Step Two coming soon!!! Hope this helped today!

Happy Scrappin',
