Guest Designer Tues: Lynn's Organizing Tips!

Today I would like to share some ways that I repurpose containers to help organize my scrap-space. I like to use metal and wire baskets to store my tools and supplies. Most of these were purchased at a favorite local shop near my home, but some came from yard sales and Michael's. The tiered stand was only a dollar, or two, at a yard sale. It works great to hold scissors, adhesives, and other essentials. I keep it close to where I am working in my basement scrap-space. I will admit that I moved all these lovelies up to my home office for a photo shoot, for two reasons:

1. to get bright, natural light

2. to protect myself from being nominated for the show about hoarders!

This little basket holds seasonal or theme items that I'm currently working on, like these pink, Valentine-y accents. Now it is holding spring-colored ribbons and lots of flowers.

I like to use this basket for ribbons because I can see everything.

This wire basket was made to hold glass votive holders. I discovered it holds punches and edger-punches beautifully!

A girl can never have too many punches, right?

This metal basket is from Michael's. I covered it with patterned paper and stamped a label that says "NEW" on it. I keep my latest, up-to-date embellishments here. That way, if I have a workshop, crop, or party I can just grab this basket to show off the newest MemoryWorks goodies. Next time you see a wire basket or container you may want to grab it for your scrap-space. Thanks for stopping by!
