Day 5 At The Studio

 Hey Everybody,

We're going to continue our journey through my studio again today. These two drawers sit right behind where I work. I wanted it that way when I set up the studio because these drawers hold my card stock.

I wanted these kind of drawers because I have more room horizontally and it is easier to access the paper when it's stored this way than in a typical file cabinet. I have hanging folders to hold my paper. I put scraps of Stampin' Up cardstock right behind the full sheets so they are easily accessible. I started with my white, black and beige cardstock, then alphabetized my colors. Blue, Brown, Gray. Then I added my specialty papers such as acetate, copper, gold and silver metallic paper as well as masking paper, vellum and watercolor paper.

This drawer has file space to the left side and there is where I have stored my retired Stampin' Up cardstock. That way it is easy to find and use for my Card Ministry cards.

The bottom drawer begins with green and goes through yellow.  To the left of this cardstock I have labels stored and personal files.

The next two drawers are at the end of the counter. This top one has all of my embossing folders stored. I label those as well. In the front are the current Stampin' Up folders. The rest are categorized into categories such as, flowers, baby, birthday, hearts, sea, snow, etc.

On the counter above this drawer is where my Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine is. So this is the perfect place to store these. It's quick and easy to pull out what I want and return it to where it needs to go when I'm finished.

The bottom drawer is deeper to hold all of my 12" x 12" designer series papers. They are in hanging files also and stored with the current Stampin' Up paper in the front filed alphabetically.

Then I have retired designer paper stored alphabetically so when I need paper for Card Ministries, this is the paper I go to first.

I also have 4" x 6" and 6" x 6" retired designer paper stored in another drawer.

Well, that's all of the drawers in my studio. Next, I'll show you what is on the countertops and in the upper cabinets.

Thanks for stopping by again. I hope you are getting some ideas of how I store things. You have to do what works for you in the space you have. 

I hope to see you back again soon.

Blessings,

Sue
