GET ORGANIZED CHALLENGE - The Rainbow!


Can you see the rainbow? Trust me, this rainbow was easier for me to grasp then how I could incorporate the RAINBOW in the Scrap Rack 4-Section System. But after the third time of watching the video, something finally clicked.  BLING!

After meeting Tiffany several years ago I am happy with how my Embellishments are stored. I found getting little things out of the 2x2 zip bags irritating for me. So the boxes I showed yesterday in their custom-made drawer works the best for me.

But then Tiffany showed me things like this:


This type of bling is carded - usually on an acetate sheet. Removing this from a pocket on the ScrapRack would be so simple compared to how I store them now:

The bottom box is all peals and vintage embellishments like the metal flowers or the brads shown in the picture above. The Pooh container was a gift from a Secret Sister - Maggie and holds all the other bling. The little box in front holds pre-carded SEWING themed ribbon I got from the $1 tower baskets at Michaels. Guess what? These go in my THEME section under 'sewing' with the DP and clear stamps! 3 more boxes off my desk! Of course I'll have to find other things in the house to use these cute boxes for. 

So what is our RAINBOW Section?
RED
ORANGE
YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE
INDIGO
VIOLET
WHITE/ BLACK
NEUTRALS

Anything solid in color or with a predominant color that does NOT fit a theme category goes here. You know, like that aqua paisley print or the Monet inspired 12x12. I have almost no 'color' DP except for what goes under GIRLS - Abby or Adrian because those papers were purchased for their albums specifically.
But the BLING... yep. Now I have to add some pocket pages to my order to cover the Rainbow.

What's in your rainbow?
Creative Blessings!

    1. A lot? Only 3 LOL At least I knew what was in which box, Nancy. I'll be so much happier with them in the scrap rack.

  3. I store my embellies in glass jars...the ones I can take out of a package anyway. Things like that get stored in wicker baskets...I have plenty :-)

    1. You'll see my embellishment storage next Monday, Jackie. I store by the rainbow but not in baggies as recommended for the scraprack. I tried. Drove me nuts LOL

    1. I have a couple of those units. I bought them to put on my embellishment shelf but they're too deep and want to tilt forward when I open a drawer. I don't have any other table top space for them.

  6. I need to do some reorganizing of bling and whatnot. Right now I use glass jars and then the larger flat packages of stuff are in a couple drawers.
