I have been rearranging my scrap area a little (aren't we always doing that??!) and realized that I really don't use my stamps much. I started going through them and realized that I had some pretty good ones that I hadn't thought about in ages. So... off to Ikea I went and bought one of those tall DVD/CD holders... it's 6 feet tall and real skinny so will fit almost anywhere.... I added mine to the side of a bookcase... Then I got some clear CD holders and removed the black insert and added all of my clear stamps to them after stamping each one on a piece of paper. (I still have some to do)

I put each piece of paper into a clear plastic binder sleeve and into a binder... now all I have to do is create sections in the binder of categories and give them a number and then I will number the CD holder. Then instead of wondering what I have and pulling all those holders off the shelves to look at them, I can go to the binder and pick one then go to the numbered CD holder and voila!! Hopefully this will get me using those stamps...............!!

That sounds like a good idea!

I put mine in CD as well but they are organized by what they are Christmas, Halloween, trees, flowers, etc. and I put a strip on each cd so I know what is in the case and have them in a CD tower that turns, found that at a garage sale.

Love this idea!!!

I also stamp each stamp into a book ,but still have to hunt the stamp down when looking for one.This is a great idea, TFS Lois!

Great minds think alike Lois, as this is exactly what I do! I use my stamps so much more now that they are organized and i have stamped images of them! It is a bit time consuming to do, but sooooo worth it!!

Great ideas! I agree -- I always seem to be organizing scrap supplies!

I have yet to get my butt in gear and organize my stamps so that they are more useable for me. I want to do the same as you Lois (but I will scan my stamps instead of stamping them...too lazy). I spent about an hour looking for a stamp the other night and then found it when I had finally given up and used something else

Uh oh, there is something wrong with me. I hardly ever organize my SB supplies. They are where they are and I know where that is. If I reorganized I'd have to relearn my system all over again!! LOL!

BUT, having said that, I have been giving a tiny bit of thought to tearing my office apart and making it more scrap friendly. Right now it is organized more with the thought of work in mind. I just don't have my priorities straight, needs to be scrap organized with work as an afterthought!!!!

I still love this idea- I even bought the CD cases!! Won't need them for my CTMH stamps though, Thank Goodness!
