I Love to Organize
I have always said..."i do not know which i love more..making cards or
organizing the stuff to make cards".
all of my scraps fit into 2 small bins that are 8x5
all scraps are then arranged by similiar size and then clipped together for easy view.
I have organized some scraps with backrounds. This helps me be creative and think of diffrent designs.
