space

Started an online class to organize paper-related craft supplies. Some of the techniques may be useful with a yarn stash (e.g., creating a catalog of yarns by weight or fiber); I haven't tried to redo the current system I'm sort of using.

The craft organizing starts with deciding on the "big benefit", putting the overall goal on paper and establishing eight rewards (one for completing each challenge).  I recently picked up a lot of things through sales - these will be my rewards - I can use them after completing the weekly goal.

This 12x12 page counts towards my 52 scrap book pages for this year and prominently displays my big benefit for decluttering my craft room. I'll have more space to store my yarn :-).

I started with an ugly 12 x 12 pattern paper. Cut nine 4 inch squares from random scrap paper. Used decorative edge scissors to let some of the background paper peek through.  Added images cut from magazines - one is of a castle in France (my craft room is my castle), another of paint brushes, paint smudges, and a couple photos showing hanks of yarn.  Put in one photo of a megalith because it seems to represent a clear surface for thinking.  Two ATCs were added, they were made from scraps of paper.

Used the Kiwi lane Aspen Court border template as a resting space for the title "SPACE".  The word space was created by stenciling letters on a white scrap of card stock, coloring with Copic markers then cutting out.

The next step is to create four major categories for grouping everything and to purge what I will never use.

I'm imagining clear works surfaces and stickers grouped by themes.
