Hey y'all! Mandy Koeppen back to share part 2 of my workspace. Earlier in the month I shared a glance at where I create and how I organize my scrapbook supplies, today I wanted to focus on how I organize my October Afternoon product.
For me one thing that I try to keep in mind when I organize or find organizing items is make sure it's easy to see the product and its easy to grab because if you see it most likely you'll use it. Like I said before I love my old stuff so most of the items I use for organizing have been found at junk stores, came from my Gma, or I've grabbed it from another part of the house.
For my October Afternoon product I knew I wanted supplies to stay together so that when I was working on my monthly assignments I wouldn't be scrambling trying to locate everything. So here are a few pictures to give you an idea of how my OA stuff is organized and stored at the moment. I'm one of those people that like to change things up so this might not be how things are stored 6months from now.
One of my all time favorite finds has to be this old wire dish rack that I use to organize washi tape, stickers, chipboard, tinpins, clear stamps, and journal cards. This usually sits on a shelve but can easily be brought over to my table when creating.
The rack has the plate dividers in it which is handy to organize like products together and makes flipping thru to find embellishments easy too.
I keep my OA roller stamps and mists in this neat metal drawer that looks like it could have been in an old fridge or something. Again it's out in the open so I can easily grab the items while creating.
Paper storage...everyone is always looking for great paper storage and I think I finally found my favorite paper storage so far. These file folder boxes I purchased at Target last Spring.I love them! I have a few boxes, one for each of my design team papers and then I have papers sorted by manufacturer.
For my OA papers I keep the paper stored by collection and then I have a hanging file folder with OA scraps. I also store my 8x8 paper pads in here too.
When it comes to my 6x12 embellishments I store them in these fun magazine boxes I found at Target. I have these magazine boxes right in front of my work area on a shelf so they are right there to use.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Come back next Wednesday to see even more workspace ideas.
Also, if you have any exciting ways to store your October Afternoon supplies we'd love to see them, so please share with us over in the Flickr Gallery or on Instagram with the hashtag #oaworkspacewednesday or on our October Afternoon Facebook wall!
Have a great day!
