Organize your Crafty Space with these great ideas…

I have to tell you…I’m in LOVE with Close To My Heart’s new organizational boxes.  They are a handy, convenient way to organize your Close To My Heart stamp sets, ink pads, accessories, and more!  Just check out some of these nifty ideas to help you get your organizational juices flowin’…

Who would like to take MORE stamp sets to their crops?  The new large organizers will hold approximately 40 stamp sets, but I think you could put 44-48 sets in them.  This will make it easier to transport more of my stamp sets to my local events and prevent being in the middle of a project and wishing I hadn’t forgot a needed set at home.

Dual purpose for blocks & embellishments:  Did you know that the small organizer can hold both the box foam (in the base) and the block foam (in the lid) in order to get more bang for your organizational dollar?  While I haven’t tried it yet I am hearing that it works but it works snuggly…however, definitely an option!

Have multiples of an item?  The medium organizational boxes are great for holding accessories that you have multiples of.  Simply use the front row to store the accessories that are already opened or used and the back row for the unopened items.  I’ve provided a picture below…

I hope these “out of the box” ideas provide you with some organizational inspiration.  When everything is cute and contained your craft room will begin to look organized…well, except if you are like me and always have a mess your desk – Ha!  Happy day everyone!  …and don’t forget to sign up for my Newsletter… *hint* …I may be having a special soon on organizational supplies – just sayin’!  ;)
