What do you use to store your paper???

My paper stash is getting rather LG. I need something to store it in. I want something lkike hanging files I guess??? what do you like??
heidi~

I just have mine in a cardboard box made to hang folders in, my collection is getting larger as well and I need to find something else to store my papers in. I don't have alot of space to put shelves or anything.

Staples has a http://www.officemax.com/omax/catalog/sku.jsp?skuId=20713079&searchString=&productId=ARS19555 in black metal that's two tiered, and I seriously want to get it for all my paper. I find hanging it in a folder is the easiest way to store/sort it, and you're able to thumb through all you have to see the colors/patterns. The thing I just said is $30 (at least at Staples, I know the link is Office Max and it costs more), but it's kinda big and you can't hide it like you could if you bought a file folder with drawers.

For my 12x12 I have a stacking crate that has hanging folders. But since the paper is taller than the hanging folders I have put cardboard behind to help them from folding over. But since it is so full that doesn't happen much any more. My 8x11 I have a rolling cart with hanging file folders. Everything is divided by color and then theme.

I keep mine all ina Christmas gift bag! Not the best solution but it does work!

thanks! I was looking at staples regular file cabinets but it says they're letter size. so I don't think 12x12 pp will fit. do you??

I use the Cropper Hopper vertical file storage. They sell it here in the superstore.

I like wire racks

There are filing cabinets that are 12" wide. I currently have my paper stored in a milk-crate like thing that's 12" wide and has tracks on either side for hanging file folders. I have no idea where I came across it though.

I have plastic boxes I got at Michaels in their scrapbooking section. They have tops that snap down, and they're made for 12x12 paper. I have one for solids and one for patterns. They stack nicely too.

I have a rolling seven-drawer plastic cart that I got at Target for $30. It's like the ones that Michael's sells for twice as much. To see what it looks like, go to the Target site and type in Sterilite. It'll be on the first page.

That said, I'm thinking about moving my paper to folders in a file cabinet. That way, I can easily find the paper I want and I'll have more room in the drawers for other items.

I made the wire shelves out of cubes from target. I think there are lots of those, I store all my special paper, like Basic Grey and stuff like that in vertical storage from CropperHopper. Good luck and build with lots of extra room, you are gonna need it!!!

I used the wire shelves for a while and liked them. It became at hassle when I went to crops. Also, I have a cat that has a paper fettish and likes to paw at paper and she would sit on one of the other shelves and start pawing at the paper when I had them on the wire rack.

I bought one of the 12x12 5 box carts from JoAnn's (I noticed they went up in price to $70...I got mine when they were still $50 and it cost me $25 with a 50% coupon) and have a few more individual 12x12 boxes (same boxes that came with the cart) that I bought from Michaels (They are 8.99 w/o a coupon). That way I can store them at home and they are easy to transport to crops without having to pack and unpack them into the shelves.

I like the box carts too, but I use them for making 'kits' of materials I want to use for a certain page (s). I take a lot of classes, but only go to a crop about once a month. The crops are at stores, I don't need to bring more paper.

I have Cropper Hopper Vertical for my work space with all my Disney stuff as well as 12x12 paper stacks (plastic ones) I got those at a LSS. I need to get more Vertical storage and a new shelf for the wall to clear up my work table. I spend more time organizing!! But it sure is fun.

My 12 x 12 is in artbins. My 8 1/2 x 11 is in hanging files with tabs of each individual color. I recently saw these really cool file carts- Not sure I can swing it right now since my desk has file drawers that are PERFECT. You can also get hanging file frames and put them on a counter/in a box. I think I got mine at Office Depot.

I started with Cropper Hopper 12x12 hanging file folders and hubby adapted a wood box that holds the files.

I quickly outgrew that system and then went to Cropper Hopper vertical and just put them on shelves which works better I think.

I use the plastic storage container from Micheals as well as a portfolio file that will hold 12x12 paper and lets you divide into colors or whatnot.

Ikea Paper Cabinet Front
Ikea Paper Cabinet - Inside

I use the Display Dynamics lipless Paper Trays inside my Ikea Expedit - they fit 6 high perfectly inside each cubby. I have 5 of the 25 cubbies devoted to paper (still leaving me with 20 roomy cubbies).

I have a rolling cart and just bought 12x12 folders from the store here

I have some Cropper Hopper for cardstock and my hubby made a very nice cabinet for my patterned paper !

thank you so much everyone! I have a lot to think about. I know I want a filing system.

My hubby built me some shelves and I have the pp organized(now) by color and by brand!

I have a rolling cart from Costco (you can see it on the website)and 12x12 hanging folders from Crop In Style . I LOVE IT!!!

I have a shelf like this but it is not double-wide....just single width. DH bought it for me when our LSS was closing.

just a little by the way - i was looking at the Cropper Hopper site and they just happen to have vertical 12x12 paper holders on sale for $3.99 each - they each hold, i think, 100 pieces of paper and are in light blue and light green.

I have a wooden hutch-like scrap space. I stoe my paper in Artbins so it wont get dirty or dusty.

I have loads of paper and last year I bought this rolling 6 drawer paper storage unit made by ArtBin from Costco. I labeled each drawer by paper color. Wish I had bought like 2-3 more since they were cheap ($32) When I attend crops, I just take this travel tote http://store.scrapbook.com/kc-674448.html that I got for my birthday.

I have a Cropper Hopper & also a rubbermaid tote w/ a doom lid that I store my 12x12 paper...I store my paper stacks in a rolling tote w/ storage boxes I got from J's...

I have two loaded 12 X 12 plastic containers. The rest is stacked on the floor. I need more room. At least I'm not in the bind that the one woman on here is with a stack of paper almost as tall as she was. I shouldn't say bind though. I'd love to have that much paper. You never know what you're going to need and when!

I use 3 Creative Memories Consultants paper display pods. I got them off of evil-bay. They have zip off tops and the hanging files pull up into a ascending display. Love them. I can see all the paper at a glance and then put them back in the closet when I need to. Love 'em.

I've got paper all over the place. Sigh.

I've got a three-drawer 12x12, a Cropper Hopper divided that holds 12x12, a two-drawer 8.5x11, and a lot of magazine racks that hold most of my regular 8.5x11 cardstock. Frankly, it's a pain to find what I want, but I don't have the room to build something really functional.

I have mine in two big bins i bought from Walmart! and they are heavy and full I need another one!

i use an old diaper box, almost all my paper is gone as soon as its bought, what i have left is usually scraps so all my stickers, paper, and other supplies just get put in the box
