a new paper rack

I've been planning to organize my paper supplies for the longest time. Before, I use the 13x13 pizza boxes I've collected from orders in Australia to store my papers and other bigger stickers or rub-ons. It was such a drag to choose and use my papers then. I often end up using just cardstock or the first paper I saw on the first box nearest me when I create.

Then I saw this Karen Foster Design paper keeper at Lasting Impression and bought one.

It can hold more than 300 papers. I put all my papers and cardstock here. But I still found myself in such a drag to look for the paper I need. You see, I store them according to manufacturer in alphabetical order. But with that way, I often forgot what design I have from a certain manufacturer.

So after reading from magazines and books on how to effectively organize paper supplies, I finally realized what would work best for me. To store them according to style or design. So when I saw a paper rack at Handyman TriNoma, I didn't think twice and bought it right away, even with a hefty price.


This rack has six levels that can hold more than 150 sheets of paper each level. Quite big and heavy if you ask me. But still an itsy bitsy compared to other scrapbookers' paper rack! Here it is with all the papers in it.



On a different scrapping note, I searched the web and found some very pretty scrapbook rooms! My dream room...

So many papers!

Love the colors and the clean look.

This is definitely my favorite, red themed.

I wonder when will my scrap space get bigger like these...
