This is how I keep my scraps. The portable hanging file comes with 6 or so hanging files and was under $10 at KMart or WalMart. I can easily file scraps with one hand. It is very easy to look for a scrap before cutting into a full sheet of cardstock. I have 4 files for each color group containing 3 colors in each. Anything 1/4 sheet or smaller gets filed in here. Scraps bigger than 1/4 sheet are in hanging files with the full sheets of CS. Neutrals, Whisper White etc... have seperate storage seeing as I have more scaps with these. When my file cube starts getting too full, it is time to make swaps or plan a class project with those colors.

great way to organize... i am just about to go postal with my scraps everywhere - but I refuse to throw them away. I'm off to WalMart tomorrow to CASE your idea. I was just reading the comments left on my card today and thought I'd check out your gallery. I love your style! Then stumbled upon your photos of your scrapbook room, love seeing how other people organize their *stuff*.... just the motivation I need to get organized! thanks so much for sharing.

DONT YOU JUST LUV IT!!! When i need a circle punch (of leftover punches), i just dip in my file box and there it is. I have my paper file box to right of me and my scrap file box to the left of me lol. It feels soooo good to not have to waste paper.

WOW your space is wonderful!!! I really like the way you store scraps. I dig through a huge box and every now and then honestly think about chucking it because its such a pain to find what I want. This will be next Saturdays project. Thanks for sharing this idea.
