A FABULOUS Offer!

Before I start I just want to say a HUGE thank you for all the lovely comments on my videos. It has given me the confidence to do some more so watch this space! I have been using the handcream and trying to get back in the habit of using rubber gloves so let's see if there is a difference. I was truly horrified at the state of my hands....many years ago (when I was 18) I was signed up by a top London model agency as a hand model. I didn't actually do a lot of work because it was when I was at the Royal Ballet and just didn't have the time. I used to really care for my hands but with the daily routine and ENDLESS washing up that there seems to be in my house I've not been so careful so the video has shocked me back into my routine! Anyway, I digress......

What I REALLY wanted to show you was how I store my Stampin' Up! cardstock. I've been asked a few times and have only recently reorganised and it's working really well for me so thought I'd share. I have some of that square cube shelving (mine isn't from Ikea but is near enough the same as the Expedit shelving) and I have two 'cubes' of cardstock.
At the moment I don't want to be spending much money on storage (would rather spend it on stash!) so I bought some cardboard magazine files....they cost £1 for 3 from Poundland!!! I can fit 3 on each cube with a little extra space at the side.
I store my cardstock in each colour family and made the tabs using my Stampin' Up! Round Tab Punch (one of the best £12.50 I ever spent, I use it so much).

I also bought some clear file folders from Instore (£1.49 for 25) that I used to separate each colour and I store my scraps in those.
So very cheap and cheerful but I find it works really well. Whenever I need the cardstock I can see exactly which colour I need and I use my scraps before cutting into a full piece. I also store my scraps of Designer Series Patterned Paper in with the correct colour too.

I hope this has helped you and if you have any questions you can email me at sallyjh40@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post for me to answer here on the blog. My punches are all stored on an expandable curtain rod which I have screwed into the shelf unit and I extend a bit each time I get a new punch (the rod cost me £1.99.....I LOVE a good bargain!).
