Tonight I organized my Big Shot dies, cutting plates, extra die cuts, embossing folders, etc. At first I kept everything together in one big container, but as I have accumulated more supplies, it was not working. Tonight I put my 12" dies and cutting plates in a big basket. I put all of my regular size dies in a storage container with the names of each die facing up so it is easier for me to find what I am looking for. I put all of my extra die cut shapes in another storage container, but separated them by type of die cut (i.e., circles, or label, etc.). Often I have the negative image of a die remaining, or maybe I cut something out in one color and decide it doesn't look right for whatever I am working on; then I have a die that I need to save to use on something different.
Working on getting these tools better organized will definitely help me to work more effectively the next time I want to make something with them, so I feel like it was time well spent to organize this area of my scrapbook and card-making room.
