January is traditionally a month of organization so this month's challenge is, of course, Organization!
My scrappy organization tip is organize your cardstock by colour and then by texture. This sounds like a no-brainer but believe it or not, I used to put all my cardstock into one big giant pile! Whenever I needed cardstock, it took away precious scrappy time to find the right hue and texture. *blush*
Give me your best scrappy organization tip and I'll include your name in a draw for a blog prize :-) One entry per person please. I'll draw for the prize on January 31, 2012 at noon MST.

I made up my own binder for all my metal dies (like nesties) by using chipboard, magnetic sheets and my bond it all. All you need to do is hot glue the magnetic sheets (from the $ store) to the chipboard, punch your holes and insert your wires
The you are able to put all your dies in and they are much more usable and portable.
Rebecca - that is an awesome organizational tip! Thanks for sharing!
add labels to all of your inks, so you can see what the name is when they are stacked
When I buy rhinestones I seperate them by color in little containers so I can have a specific color ready.
I put scraps of basic colours in individual page protectors so if I need a small piece of white or kraft cardstock for journaling or matting, it's easy to find :)
I have all my essential tools at the ready in a bag with lots of pockets. there is a large space in the middle perfect for punches. that way I'm not looking around for the tools that I use all the time~
I put all my buttons into baby food jars according to color so it makes it easier to find which one I am looking for. I also use the small, plastic fishing lure boxes for my cat's eye inks as well as my little embellishments..they have lots of little compartments and stack easily.
I store my spellbinders in old CD cases. I cut a strip of magnetic tape on the inside so it holds them in place. Then the CDs are stored in a wire CD box, so everything is together but easy to find. I've also written the name )ex lg ovals) n the outside of the case with marker.
I have an expanding file folder that I have put all my stickers into sorted by theme, ABC's by colour etc. It works for me and is easy to flip through quickly to find something specific..Jeannie
Well, what I spent the last two weekends doing was cleaning off my workspace (large glass IKEA table). I felt like all my product was starting to infringe upon my workspace. So in order to stay within a very tight to no budget for extra organizational items, I rearranged my bookshelves (laid them down on their sides) so I could put more of my supplies visible on top, giving myself way more room to spread my current projects out on my table! I only spent an extra $30 bucks on 2 baskets and 3 photo boxes, which is pretty awesome for me!
