Storage Question: How do you store your 12 x 12 papers.

So I'm getting a craft room/office and i'm so excited. But I'm wondering how in the world I'm going to store all my scraps, patterned paper, and cardstock. Right now I have everything stored vertically on a bookshelf and that is absolutely not working. I have one of these storage cubes from Michael's (a + because I used a 40% off coupon and got it for about $15

but I'm not sure if I like it because it only has 4-5 slots. It might work for patterned paper but not for cardstock. I found this storage cube made by Kaiser Crafts....

I haven't ordered one yet they only place that I've found these are at scrapbookingalley.com and they have no tax and free shipping, that's a real bonus for me. They are about $26.

I found this on EBAY it is exactly what I'm looking for however it's $45 each plus shipping. Not liking that price at all.

He does have them in a 12 x 12 size along with a 8 1/2 x 11 size. He even makes an ink holder for stampin up inks and reinkers and markers. You have to see that. Click here for his ebay store.

How cool is this. I would add this to my wishlist but its $85. OMG.

Here is a photo of his product line-up. Great stuff just out of my price range.

I'm leaning toward a combination of options 1 and 2 right now but I have no idea what I'm going to do about scraps.

Any other ideas or solutions?

Please leave me a comment and a link if you can find one.

CHA Highlights: Provo Craft Gypsy & lots more

Good Morning,

So being a new crafter, and a new educator (Personal Update: I got the teaching position here as an 8th Grade English Teacher....yay), I was unable to make it to CHA Summer 2009 but thanks to the wonders of Youtube and one of my fav website Crafty Critique I've been keep abreast to all the happenings, new products, collection, etc. So here are a few highlights that I've found so far.

Provo Craft Gypsy

So I don't have a cricut yet but oh that is so on my crafting wishlist. After seeing the gypsy do you think it's a necessity? I haven't gone on many crops but I can see that this would be a great tool to have. Especially if you have a crafting buddy nearby you can purchase one together and share cartridges this way. What do you think?

Here's a great interview with our Fav Guy Tim Holtz from Crafty Critique and in the second video Tim Holtz makes a tag for us

So I'm so going to have to add the new quiter heat tool to my wishlist. How cool is that?

Now for more in the electronic die cutters here is a new cutter from Craftwell called the eCraft.

Here is a great demonstration of the epic six. Man o Man I'm so going to go broke. Who can keep away from all these great tools? I will have to exercise some restraint here. lol.

 

So I have to give a big thank you to Crafty Critique keeping us informed and updated with CHA Summer 2009.
