How does it feel to know we are nearly done? Your crafting space should be looking a lot better by now. I bet you aren't opening 15 different containers while trying to find that one item you need anymore.
Time for Challenge #8
It is time to organize our "paper cosmetics": paints, inks, embossing powders, mists, and other products that add that little something special to our pages. If you do mixed media or art journaling I bet your stock of paper cosmetics is pretty substantial. Let's get started.
SORT:
First go through each of these items and make sure your colours haven't expired. Are ink pads still juicy? Are lids still intact? Do paints still mix together when shaken? Are your chalks still intact enough to use? Sort all of your paper cosmetics into TOSS, KEEP, SELL, DONATE
PURGE:
Throw out the TOSS items. Bag up and assign a price and your initials to the SELL pile, and put them immediately in your garage sale box. Arrange for pick-up or drop-off of the DONATE pile.
ASSIGN:
Sort your KEEP pile into categories that make sense to you.
CONTAINERIZE:
Inks last longest when stored horizontally, upside down on a shelf, in a drawer, or maybe a cassette tape holder? Paints could be stacked on a narrow shelf, on a tiered rack, in spice racks, etc. Embossing powders, chalks and other cosmetics could be stored in well-labeled drawers or bins.
EQUALIZE:
Take a few minutes at the end of each scrapping session, when you return from a crop, or return from a shopping trip to put your paper cosmetics away where they belong.
