Heart 2 Heart Challenge: Organization

Hi Everyone!
This week Heart 2 Heart Challenge is all about organization!  We get to share with all of you some of our tips and techniques we use to keep our supplies and art work organized. This was a very fun challenge, simply because I got to clean my room and now I feel so accomplished and ready to start on more creations.
Here is a snapshot of my work room. The black table cloths are $3 flat sheets from Walmart, so I have one for each of my workshop tables.  The dresser against the wall is from Ikea and I simply love it because of all the drawers.  Each drawers has organizers as you will see further down.  The wall mount is a frame I purchased at a Goodwill and I added the velvet and ribbon background.  The chandelier on the wall is a decal I purchased on Etsy.  
I found this unit at Ikea and I just love it!  It fits my albums, paper trays and so much more!
The paper trays are from Scrapbook.com, click HERE for details.
I love this table because, I put all my prepped kits for my customers on the top with their buckets filled with their embellishments.  The bottom is filled with Close To My Heart product that is available for purchase.

This is my "Corner".  This is where I have my stamps, Cricut, laptop, cutters, papers, inks, adhesive, punches and all the things I need to create all my cards and layouts.  This little folding table from Costco is great because it fits over this unit I purchased at Target perfectly.  Plus this unit from Target fits CTMH organizers perfectly, there is nothing hanging out at all.  I keep extra stamps in clear folders here, CTMH acrylics organizers and in the black boxes, I have office supplies, adhesives, punches and more.
I add colored ribbons to my daubers, so I don't mix them up with other inks.  This helps out a lot because I usually don't wash my daubers every time I use them.  I usually wait a week to two weeks to wash them.
Here is my rolling scrap box! This is where all my extra paper from my kits go into.  I keep this under my table and the fact that I can roll it in and out is awesome!  I usually roll it with me to crops and it I recommend it to everyone!
This storage unit is from Walmart and it was ONLY $6!!!  Yep, I keep all my stamp set here and they fit just wonderfully.  I have them organized by letter and number and I keep a copy of the images on a binder.
These are the organizers inside the drawers for the big dresser.  They are also from Ikea and they have zippers at the bottom, so they lay flat for storage purposes.  Well... I hope you have enjoyed the trip through my workroom, as much as I have enjoyed describing it to you.  If you have any questions about any of the products here, please feel free to email me.  The email link is on the top left of blog.

Now take a look at your workroom and share with us at Heart 2 Heart Challenges some of your best organizing tips.  I would love to see how you all store your Cricut cartridges and embellishments.

  5. Your space is wonderful and so well organized. It's probably a good thing I live far from an Ikea or I would be there once a week. Your green accent wall is awesome.

  6. I am wondering how you store your punches. Do you just stack them inside those black fabric crates? I sort my embellishments into gallon sized Ziploc bags by topics, such as "Birthday, Flowers, Animals, School," etc...
