A few months ago, I gave a tour of my scrap room and showed you my Raskog cart. These carts are all the rage right now for scrapbookers. I LOVE mine. But, it's never been organized. It became a catch all for new products and it was getting out of control. So, OPERATION RASKOG was in order.
Here is the before picture of my beloved Raskog.

| MESSY MESSY MESSY |
Now for the big reveal
 |
| Still a lot of stuff, but it's so pretty and organized |
 |
| The top shelf holds all of my ephemera and sticker sheets. That's a lotta ephemera y'all! |
 |
| The 2nd shelf holds Queen & Co goodies, frames, photo cards/mats |
 |
| The 3rd shelf holds flair/brads, small envelopes, simple embellishments for quick creating of gift card holders, etc |
I love how it's organized and everything has its spot.
Some months ago, I picked up this little desk tray at The Container Store.
I've seen a few blogs in which the designers have something like this on their desk as a bit of a "catch all" for ephemera, clips, brads, etc. I knew I wanted to organize mine similar so that I would have a selection of embellishments within an arms reach. I LOVE it. So much so, I'm picking myself up another one to take to an upcoming retreat. Cat is also going to snag herself a couple as well.
I was so proud of my organization and the unveiling of those "forgotten" products I've had for some time, I wanted to make a layout.
Products Used:
- Simple Stories "24/7" SN@P CARDS (forgot I had those)
- Queen & Co Exclamations
- Misc ephemera from my stash
- Quick Quotes "Creamy Cocoa" ink
- Bo Bunny flair/buttons (forgot I had these, too)
- Simple Stories "24/7" epoxy brads (oooooh, ahhhh....forgot about these, too)
- Martha Stewart Heart Punch
- Twine from my stash
- Martha Stewart Photo Corner Punch
- EK Success Label Punch
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have left you inspired. Do you have any new organizational tips you've just discovered or started using? I'd love to hear about 'em.
Stay True Blue,
Nat
I sure wish I had room on my desk for one of those catch-all trays from the Container Store, but I don't (by the way, I LOVE the Container Store!). I do, however, have a little candy dish from the thrift store that serves the same purpose.
ReplyDeleteAm really wanting one of those Raskog bins. Maybe I will put that on my birthday wish list! I love how you can see all your stuff.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been answering your blog because my computer screen died. Now I have a new one!
ReplyDeleteDon't have any new organizing tips, but would love to have a Raskog Cart like yours!
