One of my favorite trends in scrapbooking right now are those over-sized chipboard alphas. They are so much fun and have such an impact on a layout.
I found room for the first couple in the back of the drawer holding mini alphabets. But as my collection grew, I needed to find a place to put them. And I knew I wanted to keep them somewhere where they were visible and easy to use - remember this year I want to use my stash.
I had a pile of Avery Elle Stamp and Die Storage Pouches sitting in a drawer (left over from a stamp de-stash).
When I tried it out, an alphabet fit perfectly in one of the pouches. That solved one problem - it was easy to use and see the alphas if they were stored in these clear pouches.
But I still needed to keep those pouches somewhere - so I went shopping. And I found a pretty wire basket with copper accents at Target - it sits on a shelf and holds the pouches carefully. I can see the alphas and remember to use them.
It's working great so far. I am using the alphas and they are staying neat and organized. And I have a use for all those Avery Elle Pouches sitting in a drawer.
What's your current organization challenge or best solution - I am really working on organizing my supplies better as a way to use them more. I'd love to hear your ideas.

Great ideas! I don't really have a storage solution. I scrap in my bedroom, lucky enough to be able to have a small desk in the corner. Michelle t
