CRAFT ROOM TOUR : Paper Storage & Organization

[@claudiar4235]

I have tried so many ways to store my papers and couldn’t find what I needed. This video was a great A-HAA moment and makes so much sense. Thank you SO much for for simplifying my life. Now I’m able to get back into scrapbooking and using up my stash.

[@treesplace322]

Wow, Been looking for a a way to store all my paper. You are a lifesaver! Ordered my sleeves off Amazon with your link. I had them in one day and I have been working away. I wish I had the plan a few years ago. Maybe I appreciate it more now with the paper clutter in my my craft room. I already feel much more peace and control and so much more to do.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Sooo happy for you Teresa! You will find it so much easier to get things done!!

[@jerryh6284]

Love your videos! Your craft room is awesome and very organized.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

😉😁Thanks Jerry. So fun to see you leave a comment 😘

[@ekerr5335]

Hi Lauren, I was one of those scrap bookers with paper in different places. I just wanted to tell you that I love, love, love your paper organization and have made it my goal to get organized this way. Right now I am using those wire cubes but plan to change to the wooden ones by getting one or two every month till i have what i need. Though I'm not completely finished I find that this system is working well for me. Thank you for sharing.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Edith that is so nice to hear, and I am glad it is working for you! It truly has helped me be more efficient too! ❤️

[@julieharden158]

Love your paper storage and all your beautiful papers. Great organisation, thanks for sharing xx

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️more organizing to come!

[@CrabbyCatandCoffeeChat]

Nice organization. I am a big scrapbooker too. I’m using the same storage sleeves/pouches. Love them. Thanks for sharing your awesome craft area!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️Thank you!!! 💞 my fellow scrappie...more to come!

[@nanapaperplans1621]

I LOVE YOUR NAME "Crabby Cat and Coffee Chat" so catchy

[@CrabbyCatandCoffeeChat]

NaNa Plans Everything Thanks! Based the name on our real life ancient cat and well coffee around here is a must. 😬

[@dianebarnes484]

I recently found your channel and your paper organization has really changed things for me. My cardstock and patterned paper is organized to my liking but I had many subscription kits which I was storing in oversized heavy duty bags with zippers but they were really taking up a lot of room in my Kallax units because they didn't fit properly. Since watching your video I have purchased the album sleeves and the Avery tabs. I have about 8 kits that were too large for the album sleeves so I have ordered some of the Project planners (I'm sorry but not through you as I have been with my CM rep for a number of years). I have freed up two full cubbies in the Kallax unit. THANK YOU.

[@cynthiaryder1912]

thanks so much for taking the time to show your craft studio, I really appreciate it, I am redoing my room, and your ideas are fantastic, think I am going to do my paper like you have it.. thanks again for the push for me to do my craft studio..I have way too much stuff, but I love everything..keep scrapping..

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Cynthia Ryder ❤️Thank you Cynthia! I’m so glad you can find some inspiration... and good luck redoing your studio!! It is a process, so enjoy it 😉 I love everything too - that is why I am determined to find a place for it all!!

[@RebeccaSimonSays]

I organize in a very similar way. I have been using the power palette folders since they first came out and always recommend them. I have one for every season, theme, travel category and color. I keep all the loose paper and embellishments in them including scraps. Then behind it I have any collections or paper pads that fall under that section in smaller pouches from Totally Tiffany.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Awesome system!! Yes such a great product. It’s my favorite way to organize!

[@John-dl2ht]

Wow! Great job on keeping those volumes of paper organized.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

How I do love to organize my "volumes" of paper!

[@tanyademillo8695]

New subbie and I love your organization videos. This way of sorting paper makes so much sense.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️Yay! Welcome Tanya. Yes I do love to organize, and this paper sorting has lasted the test of time...still works!

[@tinahailer-monsewicz9037]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see more PWM videos with your daily Day Designer planner. Please do more. A weekly PWM would be beautiful to watch.

[@carriehacker5193]

New subscriber-I have tried lots of systems over the years but this makes the most sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️Awesome Carrie! I have tried a lot over the years too- this is the one that has stuck- really made a difference for me👍🏻

[@scrappinorchid5498]

Thank you for sharing. How did I not know these existed for 12x12 paper. 🙂

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️absolutely!!! And they come in different quantities, depending on your needs...I had to get the pack of 200!

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you ! This was very helpful.

[@grandmaallison]

WOW what a great Idea👍👍👍👍💐🌸🌹🌻🌺🌷🌼🦋 thank you for sharing 🤗🤗🤗🤗have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Awww you are just tooo sweeeeeet 💓💗❤️✂️👏🏻😊

[@juliagulley]

So I have watched the Totally Tiffany video a dozen times or more and her methods never really resonated with me. That is...until I saw how you have your paper organized. I am about to embark on some changes in my craft room and I will be redoing my paper storage a bit and I will likely be following along with your method. Thanks for the inspiration and BTW I just ordered a couple of packs of the power paper storage from CM and yes I followed your links. If I end up really liking them I will be ordering more.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

👋🏻 Hi Julia! Thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy to hear this! I think you will love the folders you ordered (and thank you for using my link) and this system has really helped me, so I hope it helps you too!! Ps, I show the folders again in my update 2020 video in a little more detail!❤️🙌🏻

[@lucyorta3998]

Love your paper organization. New subscriber here. 😁

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️Thank you Lucy! Welcome!!! Appreciate your comment 😁

[@crafterintherough]

Amazing organization!! 😍

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Thank you Abril!!!

[@dianamcmahon51510]

Oh my gosh I have to stop watching your videos! I just ordered the averytabs (moments after ordering the page pockets!) 😆 Thanks to you and Amazon prime I'll be organizing allllll the pretty papers tomorrow! 😁

[@CraftSomeJoy]

😂😂😂

[@cynthiaswank6678]

Lauren I use from Amazon vinyl Record sleeves a little more room on width.

[@MsCurliegirlie]

Loved your video! New subbie☺️💕

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Robin S ❤️Thank you Robin!!! There’s more to come 😁

[@cindylange9188]

Thank you for Sharing your organization ideas. I just recently subscribe and I am really enjoying all of your videos

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Thank you Cindy! Glad you found my channel too! Welcome 😉

[@Bettystroup]

Thank You, love your ideals. please keep up the good work. Just found your chancel.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️❤️Thank you Betty! Glad to have you in the community 😊

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

This was a great video storage idea. I did mine fashioned after yours with the Check Out Store folders. I see in your links the record sleeves are twice the thickness. Have you used them as well? My only issue with the COS sleeves are some have split down the seam on me. I was wondering if the thicker mil sleeves don’t do that? My next question is, are your labels removable or reusable? If you’ve used up everything in your sleeve and want to put a different collection in it can you remove the Avery label and reuse it for another? Thanks for sharing your organizational ideas, it really helps to see what has worked for others. Patti

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi 👋🏻 Patti! The Avery labels are removable! So easy and fun to use. Now, for the sleeves. I have not used the thicker ones, but I did list them because they were thicker. I try to keep less paper in the sleeves and then store my large paper collections in the power sort folders, which are super durable. Hope that helps!

[@Gfour456]

I didn't even realize CM was still around anymore. I never hear anyone talk about them anymore... Way back in the late 90's and early 2000s, I used to attend many parties and crops. Would you mind doing a video about your consultant business? I got away from the CM style and then quit scrapbooking all together a few years ago but still have all my supplies lol..

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Excellent excellent idea! Yes I will do one😁🙌🏻

[@KSuttonJones]

This is my third time watching this paper organization video! I learn something new every time. I am working hard to get organized. Thanks for sharing. Wondered if you have a video explaining your way of storing and cataloging your Stampin’ Up collection. I am looking at the clear holders in your vertical storage unit to the right of your rainbow section of paper. I have so many Stampin’ Up stamps in that type of plastic containers but all my containers are in a huge storage tub under my desk. I never use them because I cannot see nor reach them. Presently I have IKEA KALLAX shelving but could scoot something similar to yours in my space. Many thanks! Kaye in NC

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Kaye! Thanks for the comment😊Check out my full craft room tour and you will see how I store my stamps in the clear acrylic picture frames! There are easy to see and find... hope that helps!

[@cmills2894]

Hello, I'm really enjoying your videos! My questions is about the michaels cubbies. I just purchased some on clearance for an empty space between my desk and wall. I want to stack 3 open cubes and 2 with drawers, 5 total. I see you have an entire wall. I know it depends on what is put into the cubes and the weight stacked on them. However, I'm wondering did you reinforce the cubes in anyway to support the weight in them or on them? They appear to be holding up great.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

I would say one of the considerations would be a solid, level floor to start. That may be why mine are holding up so well, although I’m not sure. I did not modify them in any way, and they seem to be doing well. Good going scoring them on clearance!!!

[@terryschackow6287]

What about Scraps? It seems like I have a lot of them. Do you put them in with your paper pack?

[@johngilmour5592]

I love your watchband in this video. May I ask where you got that?

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Ah yes! That one is an oldie but goodie, found at the coach store a few years back. Still 😍 it!

[@ssimmons611]

I love the plastic paper sleeve idea! Sadly, they show unavailable Amazon. I hope they bring them back soon!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

💁🏻‍♀️ahhh! I will try to find a similar one and link it for you!!

[@dramamama28]

Wanted to let everyone know that I purchased these directly from the checkoutstore.com. I bought 200 of them and got free shipping.

[@debchambers8563]

Hi Lauren. Do those Power Project Folders ever go on sale? I would love to get some but they are a little out of my budget.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Deb, So unfortunately CM never really puts current product on sale (so at least you haven’t missed out) They do make it easy to be an advisor and get an instant discount when you join on your purchases, and they run different gift with purchase promos throughout the year. I have had some of my folders for 15 years, and they still work great, so the quality is excellent, although I know it is an investment!

[@debchambers8563]

CraftSomeJoy Thank you for your quick response. I guess I will have to try to buy them one pack at a time. I am on disability so I don’t have the energy or funds to be an advisor. But I do enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@jenifernewton8323]

Hi, I subscribed to your channel today, I am looking forward to some ideas for organizing my scrapbooking supplies. I also love scrapbooking ideas and will be looking at Creative Memories products. Just for reference, what are the dimensions of your craftroom?

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Jenifer Newton ❤️Hi Jennifer! Thanks for subscribing 😉! My space is small, but packed! It’s about an 18 x 10 foot space, in our basement. Stay tuned and I’ll share more soon...

[@deepalakshman4144]

CraftSomeJoy is it ok to store photos etc in the basement Incase of humidity? This is one reason why I refuse to my hubby’s request to move my craft space to the basement.

[@idajeanette1893]

Love IT from norway

[@CraftSomeJoy]

💕💕happy to have you!

[@Saradc79]

Hi! Do you usually break down your paper packs that are bound and divide them into collections?

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Sara! That is what I am finding helpful, because it’s the way I scrapbook. I wanted it to be easy to see everything I have and not forget about a miscellaneous pad/palette😉

[@TheCreativeChica]

Hi!👋 I'm a New Subbie, Great system! I have to get my stuff organized! You did a great job!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

❤️thank you! It really is easy! And having your paper organized makes a huge difference 😉
