Alphabet Stickers

Hey y'all!
Hope you're staying warm wherever you are. It is COLD here today! The kids had a 2 hour delay for school this morning because of the frigid temps. When we left the house at 9:50 this morning it was 10*. They will go in late again tomorrow morning, which they love!
With the temps being what they were, I didn't leave the house after driving the kids to school! It was a nice (& warm) day in the house. I actually got some scrapping done!

Today I have a challenge up over at Memorable Seasons to use your alphabet stickers. This month's challenges are all about stash-busting & I know, I for one, have many alphabet stickers!!
Here is the layout I created using my January kit, Pink Paislee's Snow Village:

      I used some alphabet stickers that I had left that I could no longer make complete words with. You know when you use all the prominent letters from a sheet (a, e, i, st, t, etc.) & are left with a bunch of consonants that are in almost no words you'd ever want to spell out?! Well, I took them all & made a "word search puzzle" in one of the grids of my layout. The red & green alphas are from Fancy Pants. Can you spot the 4 words in the word search? If you leave me a comment & get them right, I will send you a RAK!!

I also shared my organizational tips for alphabets. I keep all of my Thickers in a bin that I got years ago at Target. I like having them all together:

     
My smaller alphabet stickers are kept in this bin that was purchased at Michael's:

And I keep my 12x12 alphabet sheets in this clear folder that I also purchased at Michael's:

I attached a hook to the inside of my armoire door & they hang there.

Be sure to check out this thread in the forum for more organization tips!

Have a great night!
Scrap on!

Getting Organized

Hey y'all!
I don't know about you, but I am a huge hoarder when it comes to my craft supplies. I thik this is partly because I don't have a good sense of organization in my scrap space & it's hard for me to remember what I have in my stash.
Last week when we were in Florida for Spring Break, helping my husband clear out his mother's condo, I had an epiphany. I don't want to hold onto things that I don't need/use. When we got home last Sunday, after some rest, I began the task of organizing & purging my space. I started there because I thought that would be the easiest place to begin. My hopes are that I can get through the entire house & rid our lives of what we don't need! I really want to simplify.
Here are some photos of some of the organization taking place in my small scrap space in our basement:   

This is the closet in the room that doubles as storage for my scrap supplies & the kids toys/art supplies.

I bought some bins at Michael's to keep all of my paper scraps. They are sorted by size.

This fabulous armoire was given to me by my sister and I LOVE it!!!

I have used some glass vases to keep washi tape & my beloved rumple ribbons in. Ty made me the spice rack that houses some of my mists.

This shows some of the storage pieces I have on my desk for easy access to small supplies.

This basket sits on the corner of my desk & I keep all of my current favorite papers & embellishments in it. See, I am the type of person if I don't see it, I won't use it. So this has worked for me!
There you have a few photos of my organization in progress. If you have any questions, leave a comment & I'll gladly answer them!
I haven't scrapped in 2 weeks & am desperately in need of a fix!! Maybe tomorrow.....

Also, don't forget about my giveaway! You can read about it here.
