• Step 1

  oops! Blank step (See step #2)

• 

  Step 2

  First, Gather allll your Scrapbooking stuff (I had room enough to put my card making stuff in here also)

• 

  Step 3

  Get your accordion folder (or otherwise (you could use a secretary box, or file cabinet)

• 

  Step 4

  Decide on your 'themes'
  I have;
  *Seasonal (more specifically, it's for holidays; Halloween, Christmas, thanksgiving etc)
  *Paper (12x12 does NOT fit in my box [see dimensions] but random cardstock and 8.5x11 papers DO.
  *Labels ( Christmas labels, Tags, speech bubbles, etc)
  *Fonts/Alphabet
  *Borders (Includes Photo corners & Frames)
  *Stencils
  * Scraps (Newspaper clippings, Movie / Event tickets, etc)
  *sayings (Sentiments, Emotions, quotes)
  *Congrats (Baby, Grad, Bday,Wedding)
  *Summer (Camping, swimming, hunting, Sunshine, BBQ)
  *** YOU MAY DECIDE TO BREAK THESE THEMES UP FURTHER, DEPENDING HOW LARGE YOUR 'STASH' IS (ie; how I have seasonal and Summer separated)

• 

  Step 5

  I should also add to step #4 that I also have 2 'Misc' Folders ( I really should have made more, ... )
  one has Misc. Embellishments (Stickers, etc) , On has Misc. Supplies (Unmounted stamps, ribbon, etc)
  Now make your labels, Either Printing them, hand writing them, or using a stencil.

• 

  Step 6

  Start Adhering your labels to the 'Tabs' on the Accordion folder (Mine was recycled and the tabs said stuff like 'Bills', 'Education' , 'Savings' etc. I simply covered these with my labels.
  ***Optional
  you can do it alphabetically for an even more OCD feel (I simply organized mine in order of what is used most (paper being first of course ;) )

• 

  Step 7

  NOW'S THE FUN PART!!!
  this may also (depending how much stuff you have) be the most time consuming part... just take it easy, tackle one box at a time, and eventually, VOILA! a compact (though heavy) scrapping box - Excellent also for taking to scrapping parties etc.

I love to organize! I organize everything more or less in the same way as you did with your scrapping supplies
