OK, so I made an inventory notebook for my craft supplies.
That's not weird is it?
I mean, I just got a little tired of not remembering what I had and didn't have. Buying doubles is fine for some stuff, but not for others, you know what I mean?
I have been working on this for a couple of months. I think I have everything in here now. (Oh, yeah, except for all of my paper stacks and collections). I think it is awesome.
I just have to remember to use it when making supply needs lists and to take it with me when purchasing certain things.
Here it is...TAA DAA!
The side tabs are the main categories. The top sticky notes are the temporary way I am dividing the main categories. I still have to tweak things.
The following are just examples of what's in my book. Not only are some pages an inventory, but also a nice sample of what the product looks like.
I found a bunch of printables on the Ranger site. Go check it out! The link will take you to the page where there are a ton of color sheets and label sheets to print out and use to help organize your stuff.
A list of my Cricut Cartridges. I double spaced it so that I have room to add more.
Pictures of my dies...all divided into categories of company.
I had some folders that I could not find the names of. So, I put a sample in the book, I can use it when I shop.
I also knit and crochet. I need the information for that also!
Punches...
...Scissors...
...and Stamps, OH MY!
And, you have to have a washi tape collection inventory.
I made the dividers using the tutorial I found by Paper Phenomenon. It uses the EK Success envelope maker to create the tabs. I just cut the card stock into pieces that were 8 1/2" x 6", did the punching and cutting, and I had custom dividers for my book. The video tutorial is here, she shows how to make half sized file folders using this technique. I also played with the paper size she uses in the video to create her file folders. If you use a paper that is 8 1/2" by 12" to start with, and score the fold at the 5 3/4" mark from the "bottom" of the file folder, you will get a folder that perfectly holds 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" papers. If this is confusing, let me know, I'll show you!
What do you think? (Not about how much stuff I have stashed in every nook and cranny of my craft room! What do you think about my book? HAHAHAHA!)
Stay crafty, and ORGANIZED, my friends!
