I sort by theme IF it fits into a theme, but most of my paper is stored by color. Have fun. I actually love rearranging and fondling my scrappy supplies.

I love fondling my supplies too.

I hope this isn't against the law!:?

My cs is by color.

I go by manufacturer and then by themes, but I do put all my Christmas ones together.

[bluetulip]

I sort by manufacturer and then theme within the manufacturer. Cardstock is by color of course - is there any other way?

[Monroe1218]

I sort by color, mostly. But some of the storage cubes are done by theme (birthday, Christmas, fall, etc.) And I have some that are reserved exclusively for some of my favorites - Basic Grey, Fancy Pants...

[Janshotgun]

I have a ton of paper - a ton! I sort my cardstock by color - that's the easy part.


I have those 3 drawer units - 5 of them across on one long shelf and another 2 stacked on top of each other on a table - all just for paper. These are labeled by theme - baby, generic kids, special kids (license characters, zoo, birthday, etc.), the next unit is holidays, the next unit is seasons, then another has calendar stuff, lined and graph scrap paper, and paper with words or numbers. The last unit has all the die cut shaped paper, shaped paper. vintage/floral and stripes. The other 2 units on my table hold LO kits of my twin grandchildren, my other granddaughter and all the journaling tags, along with alpha stickers. I do store some of my paper in cropper hopper vertical files such as Basic Grey, MME, October Afternoon, Fancy Pants, WeRMemorykeepers, etc.



I also have craft clear envelopes (12 x 12) that have papers in it along with embellishments representing certain themes such as aquarium/beach, pets, heritage, and some of the classes that I started on the crops here and never finished.



Do I scrap? not much. I was on a roll earlier this year and then family matters causing alot of stress got in the way and my creativity went down the toilet.



Just think about how you think you will use your papers and go from there.

I am the worst organizer in the history of scrapbooking..my paper is EVERYWHERE. One of these days I might organize, I saw Susan's when I visited last year and the organizing by color really seemed to work.

Well since I am still pretty new, I only have two cropper hoppers full of paper....one has cardstock organized by color and the other is patterned paper and I tried to order it by designer.....

My cardstock is sorted by color. Some of my pp is sorted by theme (food, wedding, baby, vacation, heritage...), and some is by manufacturer (BoBunny, SEI, Scrap Walls...). I also have a small misc. folder.

Thanks so much for all these great ideas ladies!! I went with organizing by color and theme for very specific things (like wedding, christmas, etc). :)

[stinkerbelle]
