How I am Using the Photo Organizer

I am going to take a full photo of my workspace here in a few days to go along with one of my Getting Ready for Project Life 2014 posts. However, I really wanted to show you some photos of the photo/ multi purpose organizers that we have. I had never gotten around to posting it on here and then once I realized it I had already changed how I was using it! So here we are!

I know I am biased, but it is an awesome product because you can use it for so many things. My original plan was to sort my photos for the coming year in it as I get them..because I am being real with myself and betting I will eventually be behind. However..it's not the coming year yet and I found I had a need for it right now!

 As a crafter I have little things like mists, adhesive, tiny attacher...etc. scattered about. Not tons, but quite a few different things in different places like everything else in my house. (It really is a problem around here). So I decided to put some of my odds and ends in it!

Here it is in the front. I mostly only have Becky Higgins Project Life supplies, but there are a couple sets of random goodies that I have. I was lucky enough to snag one of the Elle's Studio Black Friday Grab Bags for $3. I hadn't ever bought from there, but I had looked a couple of times and was really excited to try them for such a great price! I got cards and some cute little elements! Totally worth the $5 or so! Then I scored one of the WRMK discontinued cards sets from an online swap group. I love love love them! They are the Dreamy cards and they are fantastic! (I tried to find a link online so you could see them, but I had no luck. I really like the WRMK cards though. Lots of fun sets!) I like to organize my cards based on set or collection so I had those but needed somewhere for them to be! They got the first two slots in my organizer. :) 

Here is a top view. You can see I just left the first two removable dividers in for those cards. Then I took out a divider to make room for my glue dot roller and refills and some adhesive squares and one of my stamp pads. I debated taking out all the rest of the dividers, but there was just a smidgen of room left that made a few things not stand up, and I wanted them standing up all orderly like. The last space has my mists (I don't have a lot of supplies! I told you guys I was a digi scrapper..I am new to all this really!), an acrylic block (I need more of those too. *sigh*) and my tiny attacher. 

Voila! I love it so much and it's a great size. It fits on my little shelves but holds a lot of stuff! It worked perfect for these goodies and I am going to have to have another for my stamps (which then I will want to move the inks and mists to be with those..Eventually I will find the perfect system for me!)

So..I hope that that shows you a bit better what that organizer is good for. The original images I had just showed all the divider in and lots of cards and photos in it. This really could be used for oodles of things!

Which Organizer Do I Need?

Right now we currently have two organizers for sale. One is a regular size and it was the first one the hubs made for me because it fit the amount of cards that I had at that moment. But....I have a card buying problem. I totally admit. I love the Project Life cores!!! Like a lot. I will have to post my stash for you soon to see...but I have a couple more on the way... *whistling* The original does fit a lot of cards and it was absolutely perfect for all of the loose cards I had scattered about. It holds about 660 cards...which is more than the full regular PL cores.

Here is a picture with the regular Desk and Scrapbook organizer loaded with my Midnight Core. It is just put in there.

There is still an available slot here. Honestly, if you put a divider into that last space you could space the 3x4's a little more so they are easier to be flipping through. Then it will hold one core pretty perfectly. These are tight..but not so tight I couldn't get them in there obviously. [Side Note: As you can see I painted that one and we will offer painted versions soon. We are working on finding the best paint and methods first so they are just right for you! This was a test one and though it is good enough for me..it did have a few flaws so we aren't quite there yet. Soon I hope!]

Now...for someone like me....who has multiple full cores, quite a few mini kits and some lose split up cores, one organizer just wasn't enough if I wanted to have all the cards out. Or at least most of the cards out. So the Desk and Scrapbooking Organizer [Large] was invented. This one will hold about 2 full cores quite easily. Here it is holding Midnight and Honey .

It also has an available slot. I am going to be moving everything up a space and then putting some extras in the back. I like to organize by core and not by color like I have seen some people do. There wasn't a divider in the second row yet so I just put these all in there.

Also, one cool thing about my hubby, is that he can make pretty much anything you might personally need for your own goodies. Like this custom one we did for someone. She needed it longer and lots of space for 3x4 cards. So, if the above two organizers aren't quite right just shoot us a message and we can do something cool for you like this! This is holding four full cores and they fit beautifully and perfectly!! This is full of Olive, Midnight, Honey and Kraft. It also has a slight angle to it which makes it extra super awesome!

Pretty cool right?! We really can make it any size you need. This custom is long at 28 inches and the slots are a bit wider...but if you need one not as long but want more slots going back we can do that too! We are more than happy to work with you!

I hope that that helps a wee bit and shows you the sizes a bit more clearly. These would totally make awesome Christmas presents and right now we still should be able to get one done in time for the holidays!

Washi Tape Organizer!

I am super excited to share with you this awesome new washi tape organizer! I am running kind of low on tapes at the moment, but I was too excited t wait until I got more. My husband is awesome! I told him what I wanted and he made this and it's perfection! I could fit a lot of tapes on this one I think but I spaced them out to look more "full". Now I don't have to pull them out of the little box they had been in to use them! They are ready to go! The tapes that are on it are Smash Tapes by K&Co and some Heidi Swapp tapes and they fit really well. A smaller version for the people like me who like to buy the mini samples will be available soon too! I have a handful of little mini tapes I would like to have out as well. We hope you like this! 

Etsy Shop Now Open

We are super excited to say that we do have our Etsy shop open! It is currently housing one little product, but hopefully by the end of the weekend we will have a few more goodies to share with you!

I am beyond excited to offer this awesome little card organizer for sale to all my fellow crafters! I know that there are lots of other people like me who needed something just right to set on their desks for their loose Project Life cards. I have split cores with people, won some sets and bought bits of cores online so I had all these loose cards. I still have other cores in their boxes because I so love the trays that they come with...but that might change in the new year when I start actually having a system to my PL scrapping! 

For now, we are offering the rustic looking organizer, but by next Monday we will have some painted ones for sale and hopefully a few more things (like something for my washi's!)
