RYOBIV paper organization

[lbreland]

I keep my SU DS Paper in page protectors in a scrapbook and label the page protector. I leave the DS Paper that comes in stacks, such as subtles, regals, etc. in the stack and store them on wire shelving that I've made using wire cubes and electric ties. I store all my 8 1/2x11" cardstock in a rolling 2-story file cart from Office Depot. I keep the SU paper, filed by "family" in the top story. All my retired SU paper and non-SU paper is kept in the bottom story. This rack sits within easy reach of my workspace and it's what I use the most. All my other patterned paper from places other than SU is filed in Cropper Hopper upright paper holders, divided by theme or pattern. My solid 12x12 cardstock is filed in these also, by color family. I make baby scrapbooks to sell, so I've separated those papers so they are easy to find and replace.

lbreland -- you are so organized! I'm sure once started it's easy to keep up, but going back and retrofitting all my pp/dsp, not sure I could do that -- but I've got everything else done! Card stocks, inks, even most pp/dsp in ROYGBIV order! I'm cooking with oil/gas/grease/whatever the cliche is!

Cardstock is ROYGBV...indigo, violet depends if it looks more blue or purple where I put it...then I have white and naturals...pinks go in with red

Paper is seperated into themes...beach, celebration christmas baby school hobby and such!

I also have 5 of those big huge stack books of paper and I leave those in their books. I have no idea what brand my loose papers are except the bazzil. And I actually do keep the bazzill seperate but I don't have too much of it!

I keep my paper in these "buckets" that I got from the container store once when they were on sale....

The Container Store > Multi-Purpose Bins

that is the link, I bought 18 of the large ones when they were on sale for 3 bucks each! I love them, and they are easy to throw in the car when I go off scrapbooking (at least it looks like it when my husband is loading the car up! LOL)

I love your buckets. Too bad it's a couple of hours for me to the container store. I'm gonna look in the office supply store.

I loved those buckets too. The closest store to me is 13 hours away in Massachusetts. I thought about ordering but the shipping to Canada was enough to give me a heart attack. Over $38.00 to ship ten of these to Canada! That's more than ten of the items cost!
