Storing and Organising

Here’s a peek into how I organise my Tattered Angels supplies. I don’t have a scrap studio or a scrap room. My preferred scrap area is in front of the television watching my favourite crime series. But I do have a dedicated storage area for my scrapbooking supplies.

Inside one of the acrylic pull-out boxes is where I store my Tattered Angels glimmer screens, clear stamps, framed fonts, glimmer glass…

My many many bottles of Tattered Angels mists, glam and glazes are stored in plastic carry-alls, which make it really convenient for me to carry from my storage area to wherever I may be creating at the time.

I sort them by colour families, so I have a box for mists in various shades of red, another for shades of blue, one for greens, another for browns, another for pinks and purples, another for my glams and glazes….

To make it easier for me to select the exact shade of mist I want to use, I have this swatch of colours… which I need to update soon because Tattered Angels has come up with even more delightful colours since I made the swatches.

Here’s something I created last night:

I used my favourite butterfly glimmer screens and Tattered Angels media of Patina glimmer mists and Tide Pool glimmer glam. I also dyed some seam binding in shades of Bahama Blue and Trunk Bay.

Have a great weekend!

    Thanks Holly. I got the plastic carry alls from Daiso, a dollar shop here in Singapore. I think they have branches all over.
