I don't usually organise like this, I'll be honest, but I did realise how much time I was wasting, looking for stuff. And also how much stuff I was accumulating, simply because I wasn't using up scraps/couldn't find the right colour/forgot I even had!
So while I was moving into this room, I designated one of the drawers directly behind my desk to card scraps, having got ruthless and threw out the bits that really were too small to do anything with. I also figured if it was that close to hand, it would get used.

And I'm making myself keep it this way- put scraps back etc- which for me is hard- I'm a naturally ' push the pile to one side' type of tidier, but the bonus is that I'm not hunting for stuff anymore,and I actually have a fairly good idea of what I have & where it is. I've also been labelling all my drawers, so maybe I've found a system that will work for me, instead of against me, for once.
So far, so good, and a lot of scraps are being used up in the cards over the last few days.

I have been on a roll with organizing my craft room too and have done something similar. Getting the scrap pile monster tamed finally. LOL

Think scraps are what seem to overwhelm most crafters but you have cracked the whip and got them tamed now :) I do envy you your craft room!

I am still busy organising - need to label as well as can't remember which shelf has what on :-) Anne x #145
Very good idea. I did a major deep organization last year, but have been thinking about those card size scraps and wanting to do somethng a little better, and I think your leading me down the right trail. Thanksa for sharing
Great idea! I am always reorganizing.
