Week 5
Stickers, diecuts,
and rub-ons are some of the hardest things to organize because the different
sizes and shapes pose many challenges. Rub-ons present their own
challenges because if they aren't stored properly, they stick to each other,
damaging precious supplies.
SORT: time to be
ruthless. Consider if you are really going to use these items. If
you bought a whole sheet of die cut just to use one or two tags, why are you
hanging on to the whole sheet? Those stickers you bought in 1999 were
adorable then, but definitely not your style now, are they? So, sort into
piles: TRASH, SELL, DONATE, TO KEEP
PURGE: Throw out the
TRASH pile. Bag up, and assign a price and your initials to the SELL pile
and put them directly into the garage sale box. Make immediate
arrangements to rid yourself of the DONATE items.
ASSIGN: The KEEP items
need to be divided into categories that make sense to you: by colour, by
manufacturer, theme, size, or type.
CONTAINERIZE: Here is

EQUALIZE: take a few
minutes at the end of each scrap session, and whenever you return from a crop
or a shopping trip to put your stickers, rub-ons and diecuts where they
belong.
