Quick storage question??

Jan '11 Hannah S

Hello ladies!

I am trying to organize some of my pp and I need suggestions. I use Cropper Hoppers as storage and I am wondering when you store your paper by manufacturers do you divide each collection? Like many of you, I have so many different collections and if I divide each one I would need many of them.

What would you suggest?

I divide by collection but don't keep dividers between them, I just make sure each collection is together. The labels are between manufacturers. I use these ones from cropper hopper.

When I do store by collection it is only because I have the papers and alot of embellishments, they all get stored together with a divider or separate holder. I view it as a page/project kit.

if it is just paper I put it with the just the manufacturer or in my regular stash.

i have mine in a paper rack(check gallery for photos) I have my paper by color then light to dark. Ok So i have pretty much everything running light to dark. It makes it easyer for me when i am trying to find the right shade of something.

I too use the Cropper Hopper for storage and I store my papers mostly by manufacturer. I only keep my Basic Grey labeled by collection and I have groups of 2 collections behind each divider. The rest of the companies I just have the papers for each collection together. I have 2 Cropper Hoppers full of just Basic Grey so the dividers make it easier to find. Plus Basic Grey is my favorite company. I say do what works for you.

I use Cropper Hopper paper holders too and what I do is use a smaller size holder (the ones that hold 50 sheets) for each of the different manufacturers that I have. So far, one per company has worked for me except for my cosmo Cricket. Within each holder I combine all the papers but try to keep each collection together. I also have one bigger holder (the one that holds 200 sheets) for my K&Company, which is almost full and separated by collections and dividers...

I divide by collection in my Cropper Hoppers ... I find it easier to coordinate papers that way

I try to keep it divided by collection using those dividers. I love Basic Grey too. I have eight of those just for them! Since they come in bags, I keep the collections in their bag, including the scraps. That way, I can just flip my fingers through the bags and use all those dividers for other things...like my Bo Bunny obsession.

I file my paper by color except I have a big section called "goes together". In this I put sets of 4-6 sheets that match or would work together. I have about a 6" stack of these sets. It makes it easier to select a set in hurry.

I also have paper sorted by theme: celebrate,winter, christmas,fall,sports,sch ool, etc.
