Yet More Stylish Scrapbook Storage in a Snap or Four

It's Saturday, and we simply cannot get enough Stylish Scrapbook Storage in a Snap ideas.  We love that you are joining in on this series of pretty picture posts showcasing stylish and effective storage ideas for our scrapbooking stash.  In case you missed the first, second or third installments, you can find them here and here and here.


Let's start out with some practical advice before we get to the pretty pictures.
 

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

A. A. Milne

The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.

Eliminate that which is worthless to make room for that which is priceless.

Leslie is much more likely to reach for her goodies when they are at hand & visible. Her desktop lazy susan includes this vintage jelly jar filled with eye-catching brads.

Julene has used glass jars too, bought from Ikea to store small items.
Because they are glass you can see at a glance what is in them.

 
These glass spice jars were found at a charity shop.

Lisa is all about the pretty as well as practical and likes to find mismatched items for different bits and pieces.

Ikea is a popular haunt and these plant and candle holders are perfect for items such as flowers, ribbons and brads.

And this plastic divider is an reasonably priced but practical place to divide up her pocket page cards.

And her pièce de resistance is this small vintage tea set étagère made by her sister which is the perfect collecting place for all the tiny bits and pieces that end up on the scrap table. Popping them on this means that they are always close to hand and looks super cute to boot. Result!

If you'd like to see more details, Lisa has some close up pictures up on her blog today. Check it out here.
