The Big Craft Room Cleanup Giveaway!
PLEASE READ! NOTE: Some of you are leaving multiple comments–sometimes by replying to your own message because you forgot to answer the question. Please remember you only get one comment. Make it count. If I find that you have commented twice, you will be eliminated from the drawing. After random.org picks a winner, I always double check to make sure there aren’t multiple comments submitted. If there are, they are disqualified and I move onto another winner.
Hi all!
I’m spending the afternoon cleaning up my craft room. I’m literally buried under all this scrapbooking product! Ahhh! Because I do stuff for TwoPeas, I need to keep my craft stash pretty fresh. That means I go through product pretty quickly. Anyhow, I need to make room for a couple reasons… First, so I can think. ;) Second, so I can buy new things, which I’m constantly doing.
So, if you want to win this HUGE box of free goodies, leave a comment on this entry (and this entry ONLY, please–just click on “comments” at the end of this post and then scroll to the very bottom and you can leave a comment) telling me how you stay organized, or how you “attempt” to stay organized. LOL! :) Only one comment per person, please. Comments close at 7:00 MT on MONDAY 11/16. (This is change of deadline. There were SO many comments, it was becoming cumbersome for my readers to let the page load and then scroll to the bottom. I apologize for the inconvenience and unexpected change in plans).
NOTE: If you’ve never commented here before, most likely you comment will be in pending until I can approve it. But no worries, I’ll push it through before the winner is randomly chosen. Thanks for your patience! :)

Hi I love your videos!!!! I wish I could win the goodies!!!!
wow what a lot of cool stuff someone is going to be very lucky!! thanks for the chance to win!!
Just recently discovered your blog. LOVE all the cards you make.
Hi Kristina! I love your Blog! I get a lot of my Inspiration from you. I “try” to keep my Scrapbook romm clean in cleaning up after every project. But trust me, that doesnt work all the time. Sometimes it looks like there is a Bomb exploded in there! The good thing is that, every Wednesday people are comming to me for scrapbooking. You can image, Wednesday is always my clean up day. Thank you so much for all you give! Bye
I love your videos and blog. I learn so much from you. What a great idea to share with others and get yourself organized. Keep the great videos coming.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:14 pmOh my goodness how generous you are!!!
Well, how I stay organized is I have bought tons of those plastic drawers you can get from Wal-mart to Target. I don’t really have a special system, it’s just nice to have my crafts packed away when I’m not using them.
Good luck to everyone else who enters!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:14 pmI sub organize before i dive into it. like say stickers in one area and templates in another. then i go through and decide what i want to keep. then i put them in completely separate sides of the room and just organize. the way i KEEp organized is that i always do this once a week or sometimes two times. it helps keep my head clear.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:15 pmWow! Super generous! I have to stay organized b/c otherwise my dog would eat all of it ^^ I try to have a certain place for all of the things, I guess that helps! Best wishes from Germany!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:16 pmI always look forward to seeing your card ideas. Great for you getting yourself organized!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:17 pmThis is so cool! I watch you all the time. But I hardly ever leave a post. I just could not pass this up. This is like a early holiday mega gift pack. TOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:17 pmwow! count me in!
hey adam! im just curious..are you a male crafter? coz i am. i love to make cards just like kristinai get a lot of tips from her and i also do scrapbooks. what do you do? i mean specialty-wise :) well, cheers and hope you win the prize!
I would LOVE to win all your “extras”. Your videos are GREAT….. don’t stop!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:17 pmHello,
Since I’m new to card making and scrapbook, I don’t have much stuff to organized. But I do have a small room with nice french doors, that I’m in the process of converting and setting up bookcase and storage units for my new hobby.
I would love to win that huge box of goodies!!!

November 15th, 2009 at 2:18 pmThat’s a super awesome giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance to win!! So many beautiful papers! I could use more stuff since I don’t have very much being a college student. I love the design of your blog by the way. It’s so clean!
I would love to have your supplies!….I’m always “cleaning” up my craft studio for new stuff too. I’m always giving away stuff that I know someone else would be able to use…..I wish somebody would give me stuff! :D Anyway please count me in and pick me! :D
HI Karen your videos are so inspiring! Keep up the great work! BY the way I live for MACM!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:19 pmHi. I have been watching your videos and i absolutely love them. I stay organized by trying…lol…to clean once a week. Anything i see is unnecesary i throw it away. Works pretty well. ha. Hope i win the giveaway =]
November 15th, 2009 at 2:19 pmI love watching your videos! Haha I’d definitely have trouble organizing myself if I had that much stuff too.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:19 pmI usually just keep all my craft supplies in a large clear box and stash it under my bed. It doubles as a table when I take it out. :)
I’d love to win ANY of your extra’s. Though I’ve never commented before you’re a huge inspiration to me and I love all your art.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:19 pmI use storage bin things that I got at Target. Three drawers to a set. Stack them on a table since our basement floods! I also have bins on my table that I work out of and more storage on rolling carts and this list could go on and on. But in the end I am pretty organized..I can usually find what I am looking for when I need it! Thanks for the opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmWe all should get a little bit more organized. Can’t wait to see what cards/projects you come up with next!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmHi Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmI stay organised with my embellishments by clipping them up on clips on a trolley I have and they are clipped all around the metal edges. All my rubons are on one, all my thickers are on one, chipboard embellies, etc. I have 10 bulldog clips hanging there and they are all so full but it looks awesome lol. If I don’t keep some sort of order I cannot work and I also put everything away before I walk away from my workspace for the day.
Hugs
Michelle
Wow, if that is what your getting rid of would love to see what you are keeping – if I won this I would think I had died and gone to heaven. Keeping everything crossed. Love your vids keep them coming. Many thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmhi kristina! wow, awesome giveaway!!! i bought two tall racks (kind of like the ones that people put in their garages or workrooms) and try to keep all my craft stuff on there in boxes and bins…actually did some tidying this morning :). thanks for the chance to win your goodies~i’ve never seen most of those products before. hope you’re having a great weekend!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmHaha – I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment in NYC. There’s no such thing as “organized”! But more stuff is always appreciated! You’re the best!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmWOW! This is totally great. Thank you for being so generous and for the chance to win such a fantastic box of goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pmGreat giveaway, I tend to have my friends over and everyone brings their extras and we all put our names in a box and take a turn to pick something we don’t have and try to be organized…
November 15th, 2009 at 2:21 pmOoh, that’s so nice of you. Well I just started scrapping myself and my collection isn’t really that big at the moment. But it’s getting there. Everything in my craftroom is from Ikea, I personaly think they got alot of good storing solutions.
Would be awesome to add that box of items to my current tiny scrappcollection.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:21 pmOh – I just love your videos and blog – and I spend so much time watching your great ideas for card making! Please add me to your give-a-way! Everything looks so wonderful! I am new to card making – so, I appreciate all of your ideas! Blessings, Patti
November 15th, 2009 at 2:22 pmooooo that Cosmic Cricut Earth love … I love that! Quite the stack of goodies. Sweet!
How do I stay organized? Um, I think I’m getting better, If I haven’t used it in eons, it goes. It goes to my kids & the neighbourhood kids & they have a blast with it.
Honestly, I think the organization thang is an ongoing battle.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:22 pmAll of your supplies are really cute! this is an awesome giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:22 pmI just love all the colllection packs! Such an awesome giveaway too!! TFS (:
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmI have such difficulty trying to stay organized! I have several plastic storage units and cases galore! I just have too much stuff! But would love to win more!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmI keep my stuff organized by limiting my scrap space – 1 large drawer in my kitchen buffet, and a rolling tote. That’s IT! So if I win, this lovely pack will be for my daughter (5) who loves scrapping and my son (3) who is following in her footsteps! Crossing our fingers!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmOh please sign me up I have very little designer paper. Love those stamps. As far as staying organized I don’t have that problem right now since I have very little but I do keep things in drawers from walmart. Love all your videos you create some awesome cards and are very inspiring.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmhello :) i love all your videos especially the macm ones! your so talented and creative. ive been watching you for so long, i hope i win your prizes :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmHonestly I feel like I do more organizing than actual paper crafting! I am realizing more now then ever what I like to use so I actually “purged” stuff and have that stuff set aside so that the stuff I use most often is at hand. It has helped my productivity.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmI have several plastic drawer sets that I picked up from wal-mart that I sub-divide with little baskets. I have one for just ribbon, one for notions, a whole drawer set for paper, markers, fabric, and so on. So far, so good… I can usually find everything, but when I get on a project, those drawers seem to EXPLODE! XD
November 15th, 2009 at 2:23 pmAww these are all so beautiful! Your card creations are great; I’ve used your videos to help me make cards for my family.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmI guess to keep organized I have a 3-drawer cart that goes on wheels. It’s very useful!
I love love love your cards and I dont care how you say buttons just keep doing what you do
November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmCould I go to heaven on the leftovers of you???? You bet I could!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmThanks for all that you do and for the opportunity to play along.
Have a wonderful week.
~Jill
I stay organized by cleaning my craft room every time i finish someting ;)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmthats alot of GOODIES!!!!

November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmPut me in please! I’d love to win all of that craft stuff. I just havn’t gotten around to get my own!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:24 pmOh wow…love your cards and the new line of products you use~
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmI always get new ideas from your videos!

Ellen from the Netherlands
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmTHATS ALOT OF GOODIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmthat’s awesome that you’re doing this! As for organization, I have the fun cubbyholes in my Expedit to divide things into. I even bought the drawers for it. Things that have been raked go into shoeboxes until I decide what I want to do with them.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmThat is so generous of you, I am a big fan of your work, actually I refer to you in most of my posts, your videos inspire me a lot as many of your readers!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmTheir two ways to stay organize. Keep thing together like paper with paper, rubber with rubber, ect… Or keep it per theme like Christmas, birthday, camping stuff.ect… And by the same just a quick note to say hat off for the card they are just amazing and inspire me a lot…
thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmCindy
i’m hopelessly disorganized, my workspace is always cluttered, it’s a nightmare :/
thanks for the chance to win
November 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pmI love your videos! I can get so excited on Fridays and Mondays! Anyway, I stay organized (or try to) by cleaning up between each page and/or card. I have a hard time feeling crafty when there is stuff all over the place, overwhelmed actually, and I tend to lose things when it’s getting piled up on my counter.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pmOh wow…Love watching your videos and keeping up with you on 2 peas. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a room like that! LOL…
I do a card making class with students at my school (low income) and would love to have the chance to use these supplies with them. I’m always looking for stuff to help them make stuff as a community service.
Keep on inspiring!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pmKerry
WOW.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pmThe first time I watched the video I thought one person would get one thing. But how generous of you to give everything for someone. That would’ve cost a lot. Anyways I hope I win and good luck to everyone who enters!
Wow—that is some wonderful stuff you’re giving away!! As for storage ideas, I seem to be having the same problem lately—not because I have a ton of stuff, it has more to do with my space being limited. My brother recently lost his job (the economy thing) and I let him move in here with me and gave up my craft room….ugh….lol I recently started converting my walk-in closet as a storage place for my stuff but I still have a bit of work cut out for me. Oh the sacrifices we make for family….lol
Thanks for everything you’ve taught me in your videos—I’m kind of new to all of this and I really appreciate all that I’ve learned from you. Oh, and by the way, I’m rockriver9 over on YouTube. Good luck to everyone who enters—great stuff!! Thanks!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pmWOW, maybe I should clean out my room and pass on the booty as well. Thanks for the great idea!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pmwow this is one huge giveaway! O_o
I hope it’s open for other countries as well and not only USA! :)
I really try to stay organized – I get boxes, new boxes. Sort by colour, change it to brands and theme and what not…
I have a lovely storage unit that I got for free and it holds all my smaller decorations.
I try to clean up after I’m done crafting and put everything in the right place right away.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:27 pmI will really want to win this huge box of goodies because im a scrapbook starter and i have a little bit of stuff. So please i will like to have this box of goodies :D
November 15th, 2009 at 2:27 pmWOW! Thank you for this giveaway. So many awesome things in one box! Love all your cards!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmTo keep myself organized and childproofed i have a pantry cabinet with photoboxes with randomn stickers and cardboard organizers. I have a ways to go but I try to keep everything in its place.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmHo Ho Ho Merry Christmas
awesome pick me pick me
i luv your blog u r the reason i started making cards
omg omg omg!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmStay organized? I wish I could stay organized! I do attempt it though. My biggest “gift” to myself is to completely put everything away after I finish a project before I move on to the next.
And then I purge… a couple of times a year… giving product to my niece and her two good friends who also scrapbook. What they don’t take for themselves, I donate to my nieces church that has a bi-annual all day crop to raise money for the school.
Love your videos and the cards you make. Such great ideas without being overwhelmed!
Thanks for all you do!

November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmHi Kristina! I watch your videos on YouTube all the time, and I’d totally love to be entered for your big craft room cleanup giveaway! I pretty well keep my entire life organized in my filing cabinet, and then have a cupboard with DVD boxes from IKEA that I use to organize my embellishments, stamps, ribbons, etc. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmWhat a great “extra stash” that you are willing to share with one lucky person! To help stay organized, I bought 2 spinner racks from Sue Nagel at ‘Stampin Things’ – one for my punches and one for stamp pads. There is room on top of each to store extras like scissors, adhesives, embellishments, etc. I LOVE them both. The other tip I read in a stamping magazine is not as much fun – one reader suggested not to buy so much! What fun is that?
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmOh my goodness how generous you are, all the lovely goodies you are giving away, i love all your videos you put on youtube, and your blog is fab,
Please add me to your give-a-way!
all the best tracy xxx
ps good luck everyone
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmI try to stay organized by staying on top of things when I buy them and use bins! Thanks for doing this!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:28 pmYeah, I need a Santa right now! What a great thing you give us girls a chance to win. I’m pumped…5,6,7,8!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:30 pmoh my goodness. such loveliness!
i stay organized by unpacking everything from shopping trips or crops IMMEDIATELY. also, i’m a sucker for using kitchen or closet racks for scrapbook storage–surprisingly they work REALLY well… especially stackable things.
hope i win :D and thanks for the chance Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:30 pmOrganization…not the name of my game! LOL I really do try, though. I got one of those big Ikea bookshelves with all the squares..although I haven’t gotten cute little baskets and such to put everything in, at least everything is “organized” by shelf. I also try to keep my paper scraps organized using hanging files.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:30 pmWow! Lot’s of stuff! Hope I win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:30 pmHow generous of you Krisitna! I work with a women’s group and we always need paper so it would be AWESOME to win this!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:32 pmi just love all your videos they are so extravagant! Keep them coming! Hope you finish organizing your craft room. After i saw your video i decided to clean mine too. =)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:32 pmWould LOVE to help you out by taking the product off your hands. :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:32 pmI know how you are feeling!!! I’m moving… So I need to get everything sorted out and organized….
Hope I can win sth!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:33 pmWow really?? That is such a huge box of fun!! I try to stay as organized a possible. Since my craft table is so small I don’t have much choice but to clean up after I am done each time. I truly enjoy watching all your videos and creations come to life.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:33 pmThanks so much!!
Wow. What a great prize for the winner. Thank you for the card series. I don’t know what is going to happen when it ends. Organization I can’t help with that. Have fun.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:34 pmI always keep like products with like and make a ‘home’ to each and every type. I have folders, drawers, containers, baskets, etc… Everything, any size, can be a ‘home’.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:34 pmOh, my gracious! What a fabulous giveaway! Thanks so much for your generosity and the chance to win! I have such a small space, so organization is crucial! However, I also really love to see all my stuff out in the open. The two don’t go hand in hand very well, but I can tell you that I use lots of jars, bowls, clear drawers, and open shelving.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:34 pmHello Kristina. Right now im sitting on my bed in my room and trying get ready to clean my floor ( its all in craft stuff) after all weekend making christmas cards. You are very kind that u giving away all that stuff. I always have problems with organizing and keeping my room clean because is so small. I very like ur videos. I actually send links to your site and few videos to my boyfriend when he ask me about craft sites. He enjoyed them very much . Thank you for sharing with us all your ideas.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:34 pmHello I just have to say I loveeeeeeeee all your videos I save them so I can keep going back and rewatching please keep up the great work you do amazing cards. As for keeping my work area organized forget it it will never happen my husband gets the biggest laugh at it I just keep adding more LOL.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:34 pmHave a great day
Wow! Kristina- Great way to spend a sunday! I love to go through my product and find stuff I forget about. I attempt to stay organized by keeping manufacturerers together. I also try to organize by color and recently I have started organizing by project ideas. When I buy certain products i think I’ll use for a particular project I keep it all together until I can get the project done then organize the left overs in manufacturer or colors. Hope you get all your stuff organized and Thanks for such an awesome chance to win!!! Your always such great inspiration to get my creative juices flowing!!!!! Happy Organizing.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pmwhat an AMAZING giveaway. good luck cleaning your craft room, even if i don’t win i enjoyed watching you go through the box. what is it about getting a peek into other people craft stash that i just love-i’m not sure. anyway i hope and if i don’t congrats to the winner, and thank you for sharing your cards, and your stuff :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pmMy craft room is a total mess. But it is MY room… so who cares… (besides DH)…. I was told as a child “everything has a place” where that place is, is up to you. We are like children with too many toys, and the best thing to do, is what you are doing, give away some of your toys, to make room for more toys. Love your ideas. thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pmDolly
Thanks so much! And to add all of those links is super helpful; I know how much time it takes to do it. This giveaway is greatly appreciated and inspirational…I’m off to clean up! =)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pmOh my giddy aunt! What a box of treats! I hope you find a lovely new home for it all… maybe at my house!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmomg ..what an incredible give-away… well as far as my orginaization is concerned i love being organized !!! and its pretty easy for me not to have too much product because i live in a country where it is unavailable to me but generally if i do come to a point where i think hmm my stash of X is getting to big … i usually either make random gifts for someone with that product or i will put together a mini album kit for someone …. although i woiuld LOVE to win this incredible giveaway .. i am surprized you r not selling it on ebay … or etsy for that matter ….. give u a little bit of extra pocket money to fill those draws back up :P hahhah anyway i absolutely adore all of your creations … you r my main source of inspiration….. u r probably the most famous crafter on youtube …thats a fact… anyawy thank you soo much for this opportunity :) xxx from marrakech
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmI stay organized by putting everything back where it goes each and every time I scrap. The doors of my cupboards close so idont see clutter. But everything has a place, at least those are my intentions, but it’s hard because I’m visual and sometimes I wish I could just dump it so I could see it all at once . LOL
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmThanks for the chance, I appreciate theopportunity,
How I ::attempt:: to stay organized-
If I buy stuff with a specific layout/project in mind, i use a plastic paperclip (doesn’t bend the paper as much) and clip em all together before putting them into the big artist storage boxes with the 3 clips on the sides (i think they have them at michael’s?)
if i’m just buying because I like the papers, I attempt to sort things by type (embellishments, letters, paper), and then within the paper I try to sort by primary color. I also have one of those little mini drawer things for my desk that has brads, eyelets, pins, small chipboard, and other misc. things that I find as i go!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmAye Caramba! What a great giveaway!
Ok, so I’ve been in organization mode for 15 years and have been trying to improve on it to finally find what works best for me. This applies to my craft room only, lol!
I have all like items together, I have tons of great clear Iris shoebox containers that are labeled, I keep all “tools and hardware” in one section. I keep new items on my desk in a basket so that I can use it before I put it away. Basically all like items are together so I don’t have to search hi and low when I’m ready to craft.
And lastly, I have my most used items and my favorites on my desk and in a rolling cart next to my desk.
Yippee!! Hope I win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmI love all of your videos! They’re all just so amazing! While growing up, my 2 sisters would always attempt to start a scrapbook. They never really succeeded though. Now I have a whole room just filled with scrap booking supplies that they never used! We’ve just had it for so long over the years building up and up. So now, trying to make use of all these great things, I’m trying to make as much scrap booking things as I can! I keep them organized by putting them in categories. Some of my categories are based on if its relevant to love, friendship, family, pets, or just general. I have 5 huge shelves for them, and one extra just in case, to put all of the neat things we’ve collected! Even though I have so much already, I have many plans for most of these scrap booking supplies! I just hope I have enough to last the year. I’ve been really creative and have so much extra time to make these things! Thank you so much for posting videos about how to make really cute and adorable things. I’m trying to make most of them, but i just don’t have the supplies, so maybe if I do win that box, I can make so much more things that I couldn’t have made before! Anyways, thanks again! I hope theres many more creative videos coming up!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmI stay organized by using my label maker. I absolutely love it. Something so simple, but makes me smile:)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmHello :D
November 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pmi stay organized by taking things and putting it back to their own space. lol
WOW! Your box has as much stuff as I have in my room! I’m always jealous of your paper collections. And the birthday stamp set is sooo stinkin cute!
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pmwow love the great stuff. We have a saying around here .
I am a crafter not a colletor . it feels great to clean it all out some times
November 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pmWhoa! What an incredible giveaway! Please enter me!!! ;) Thanks for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pmWow, what huge box of goodies!!! I really should do the same thing with my crafting area but I tend to be in denial that it is possible to have too much crafting supplies! hee!! Ü
November 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pmI’m constantly buying containers and boxes in an attempt to stay organized! It works for about 2 days and then it doesn’t. : ) heh
thanks for holding the contest!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:38 pmHi there…. What a wonderful windfall that cleanout would be…I am really enjoying your card making videos… love the simple, clean lines and colors… I am also a lover of Kraft c/s.. Wish me luck… you just never know who will win…the goodies… Your inspiraton is awesome.. keep it up.. Cheers, Tilly
November 15th, 2009 at 2:38 pmwow how awesome!! I have been trying to just clean up after every project but i still end up with a mess lol..can it ever be clean?!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:38 pmWow!
I do a couple of things to try to stay organized:
I try to pick up after each project. Where I define project loosely. :)
And I’m always on the hunt for fun ways to organize paper, brads, buttons. IKEA is awesome there. ;)
I tend to go through my craft area every few months or so and give away things I haven’t touched in awhile. My motto is “If I’ve forgotten I have it… it can go”.
Thanks for the chance and thanks for all the inspiration!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:39 pmwow, you are so generous! I wish I had some magic organizational skills in me, but my space is pretty small and temporary. When we build our house, I will have my own room (YES!) even though it will be small 6′ x 7′ it will be ALL mine and I will CHERISH it! Then, I can get organized!! In the meantime, I am happy to say my desk is not quite as mess as yours – lol
November 15th, 2009 at 2:39 pmHey Kristina, I absolute love your cards. You are so generous to offer such a fabulous giveaway. I’m going to have to that too. TFS!!!! Friday
EDITED TO ADD:I try to buy only what I need so I don’t over buy but that doesn’t always happen. I go through my stuff every so offen to condence like you are doing right now. Thanks again for this opportunity.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:39 pmWow what a fantastic clean up…..I LOVE every thing you do, your video inspire me a lot
Thank you from Québec Canada
November 15th, 2009 at 2:39 pmOMG that are a LOT of goodies! I hope I dont win that, I dont have room for that in my scrapcorner LOL. I LOVE buying (and using) new products, and I dont have a lot of room, but I also have to see all my products, otherwhise I forget to use it. I use a lot of glass jars for ribbon, brads etc. I take everything out of the package (I still remember the brand, so that is not a problem for me) and for papers I get rid of all the double’s (well if they are doublesided and really really cute, I keep 2 sheets) they extra papers I give away to friends or family’s or schools.. My Clearstamps are in CD cases, and I am thinking about doing the same for my woodenstamps, but they looks way to cute on my shelf. All the best with clearing everything out and Thank you for making me rush to You tube every Monday and friday, and now even every day! Thank you for all the inspiration (and I dont even make cards, but you never know!) XOXO
November 15th, 2009 at 2:40 pmWOW! That’s a lot of stuff! Thanks for the chance to win!!! I stay organized by only buying what will fit in my space. If i don’t have room for it, then i wait to buy it or not at all. I also staple all my open sticker pack together so i’m not looking for each “sheet” when i need a certain type.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmWOW!! So much stuff:) I could use that for sure!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmI’m cleaning up my scraproom as we speak and paused for a break to check out your blog. I’m ditching anything I’m sick of seeing. Duplicates of paper I’ve already used, extra brads I’m sick of seeing that embellishment I was saving for “just the right layout” and never used. I’m giving them to my neighbors two girls 10 and 8 as they have just started scrapbooking and I’m helping them learn!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmWhat a fantastic giveaway!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmenter me in this contest plz
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmOh my gosh! That’s a huge give away, must have been some clean up! I must go through my stash but i’m so bad at purging!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmWhat an awesome box – right before christmas. You rock Kristina!
The way that I stay organised is to put everything back when I am finished. It only takes a few minutes as I know where everything goes. (Although having just moved to a much smaller space – I need to re organise as it really isn’t working how I want it to yet)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:41 pmOh.MY.Goodness. I would LOVE to win all that scrap goodness! I “try” to stay organized by putting stuff away after I am working on a project, or at least cleaning off my desk once a week – I always feel better when I am starting with a tidy desk (when I take the time to tidy it! ) Thanks Kristina for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:42 pmKristina I just wanted to send you a huge thank you because the inspiration you have given me has meant SO much! I’m a military wife and moving away from my family for the first time has been really lonely, being able to make cards for them like I use to has made me feel so much closer to them! Thanks not only for the chance to win these wonderful goodies, but for the inspiration you have given to me! <3
EDITED TO ADD: i totally forgot to tell you how i try to keep organized! I have a few things in our office that help me keep track of my paper and embellishments, a lot of the things you have recommended :) and I ‘try’ to clean up after each card/page/project that i do… but yeah sometimes that doesn’t happen!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:42 pmAll I really need to say here is I an a Virgo so I have everything in baskets, drawers, bins… all like with like and labeled!
Oh and I had fun doing it! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:42 pmI wish I coyuld win one of those! I’m in love with your videos and specially your cards!!!!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:43 pmI’m never fully organized because I always have something out that is in progress, but I do have lots of shelves, baskets, drawers, jars, etc. that I try to organize my stuff in. If I’m really struggling, I’ll ask my husband to help me because he’s pretty ruthless when it comes to purging and cleaning.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:43 pmLove your videos Kristina! Thanks for your generosity both with your talents and your craft room goodies :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pmHi there, You are an INSPIRATION to me and I am sure to many others. I LOVE your videos and blog. They get me on the go to make my own cards and creations! Thanks and have a great day!
Wendy
November 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pmWhat fun! I have reorganized by color for just about everything and have just finished organizing my alpha stickers by color – so much easier to find exactly what I need! Thanks for the chance to win cool stuff!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pmholy box!
i try to stay organized by using up a lot of my wall space with shelves and big plastic containers from the container store and walmart.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pmI love the concept behind being organized. I just have trouble with the execution. Good luck!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pmWell i never been good at staying organized but now with a baby I need all the room I get. So I have started to try to stay organized by buying organizers to keeps his stuff where I can find it, I have also started cleaning drawers every two weeks. I think once he is born im going to be more organized, well hopefully I never been good at it.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:45 pmThanks for the chance to win,this is a great giveaway =]
Oh my gosh Kristina…I love left overs!! What a fun way to “clean up”. Thank you.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:45 pmhi. I was looking through youtube site and happen to find you and thought your site was so cool. I’m crafty person but have never thought of using scrabooking material and stamps to make cards and etc. And, I was really impressed. Anyway, I really love your work and hope I hear some good news.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:45 pmGood luck and thanks!
Wow!!! What a fantastic giveaway. I think my best suggestion for “staying organized” is to clean up as I go. Everything has a place and it all goes back in to the box, bin or basket when I am through with my project.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:45 pmThanks so much for the chance to win!! So many beautiful papers!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:45 pmWow, what an amazing collection of giveaway goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pmOrganization? What? Well…. I just keeping buying more stackable units, boxes, etc., and scavenge for recycled desks/tables, while continuing to use all of my vertical space! My husband has built some ribbon racks and shallow shelving but I’ll be needing another room soon!
Thanks so much!
wowo, u’ve got some amazing stuff. I have a very small scrapping space so at the moment most of my bits are in big clear boxes and also a trolley which i am in the process of sorting and labelling the draws. I would love to win because I would share the box with my scrappy friends.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pmJo xxx
Thank you so much for all the videos you do. I always watch them and get lots of great ideas. keep up the good work. I am about to sit down and organize my stash. Will see what i turn up.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pmI try (emphasis on the try) to stay organized by keeping things that are the same together (patter paper, brads, ribbon, etc). It usually works until I have a big project to complete (like Christmas cards)!
The stuff looks amazing and I would love to win – I haven’t been able to spend money on scrap supplies for the last 6 months.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pmWow! what a generous give away and a way to get organized. I think I have to go purge.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:46 pmWow Kristina..thank you for the chance to win! You’re so generous!
Since my cardmaking area is with my computer in a spare bedroom, I try to use a lot of wicker baskets, bright metal bins, open wooden boxes and pretty plant pots! I do get a bit overwhelmed with papers, but they are so pretty I don’t mind if they show :) Things like brads, eyelets & other little embellishments go in divided trays in one of my larger containers.
It works for me, but I’m going to take a run through all of these comments and hopefully pick up even better ideas!
Thanks again :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pmoh my gee!! I love your video’s!! i ‘try’ to stay organized, but as my husband will tell you it’s only an organization i would understand :) i just put things in piles, which is not very effective because then I can’t see what I have, but hopefully as I build up craft room that’ll get better, so right now the piles just work!! Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pmI can imagine you probably have to get new stuff all the time, like you said to keep it “fresh”. I have no problem using old stuff. :-) So if I’m lucky enough to be picked for this, at least your old stuff will get used! And it’s win-win — I get “new to me” stuff, and you get more room for more stuff. Thanks for the opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pmLove all this stash! By now, all my supplies are layong in my dinner table, but I pretend to do big cabinet next year. I’d love to win these supplies, here we don’t find so much things.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pmWOW this is my Christmas done! :)
Oh dear, I try to keep myself organised by always returning my goodies to the exact same box or place I designated for it.
When things go pear-shaped, I then have to literally go through every single one of my things and review where everything is and start organising, again. My brain just malfunction to the point of amnesia when things are not where they were supposed to be. Ooh I don’t know why the word LABELS came to my mind right now…
(I bet you are laughing now LOL).
Thank you for sharing your stash with us, that is most generous of you and it will certainly put a big big smile on somebody’s face! :) (I hope dearly that face is mine LOL!)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pmLove your blog. I get so many ideas from this and your give away is amazing.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pmMy goodness…what a generous give away….I need to clean out my craft closet too.
Blessings and thanks for a chance to win some ubery papercrafting goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pmSo kind of you to clean up by sharing…..and if I am chosen, I will share too. My sweet daugher in love Amy is just getting to set up her very own scrapbook room and I am trying to help her stock it with goodies so she can create.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pmthank you sooooo much
This is an awesome giveaway! My craft space usually looks like a bomb went off, so I try and clean up and organize after each crafting session. I also try and use scraps of paper right away to make a card, otherwise it will never see the light of day again!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pmYou are the most generous person I know I would love love to win all of those goodies! YOU ROCK! I stay organized by having a ton of plastic drawers from target and a label maker. Thank goodness for whoever invented the label maker because I would be a total mess without it! :) Thanks again this is like a very early Christmas! Thanks SO much :) I love when you do the giveaways!!! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pmWOW, WOW, WOW what a giveaway!!! Thanks for the chance to win such YUMMY goodies. Well staying organised is not my strong point. But I do try and put everything away off my desk between projects, doesn’t always happen but I try :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pmCheers Sally
wow! this is an amazing “destash”. :)
I have a nice tall 12×12 paper shelf that helps me keep paper organized, and I also try to keep seasonal papers, kits, or other coordinates together in large plastic bags.
Thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pmLove, Love, Love your videos and style. I just found you website not too long ago and have it on my top favs so I can see whenever you add something. You’ve got me faux stitching on everything! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pmI’m most defiantly in the “attempt” to stay organized category. I live in New York apartment and don’t have much space so I have scrapbooking supplies crammed in every available space. It makes doing projects a little difficult, but it’s the only thing I can really do at this point! I dream of having a room devoted to my craft supplies!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:49 pmWow! How awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:50 pmOh! MY GOSH! Are you serious! Oh my gosh! THIS IS A BIG GIVEAWAY Kristina! Wow, someone is going to be very very LUCKY!!!
The way I have my stuff organized is I have my wooden stamps on shelves, and some that are on packages are in on a square block with hinges that spin. My desk has shelves so pretty much everything is accessible to me. Paper is pretty much in file folders.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:50 pmFirst off, you are very generous! If it weren’t for my 2 yr old my craft space would be a mess! I can’t leave anything on my table because he’ll get into it… So I have no choice but to always clean my space as I scrap/craft. I can’t say that I’m organized because a lot of time I have to quickly hide something so he won’t see it or try to get to it! Lol
thanks for a chance to win this fabulous box of goodies!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmThank you so much for never-ending inspiration. I LOVE your videos and visit your blog every day. Yup, every day!
Ideally, I like to be organized most of the time, but the reality of it is that anytime I ‘m getting ready for an event or a swap, I pretty much end up taking EVERYTHING out of it’s “place” anyway!
So how I like to organize now is to allow myself a “mess” pile/area that I throw things that need to be put back into the right place – granted, it may take me weeks before I get to that mess pile but at least now I know where something might be if I can’t find it! :)
Thanks so much for sharing!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmLove your give-aways. I try and organize when I get new things and when I finish a project. Staying on top of it is never easy but I love putting things in different containers and linning them up.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmI love your videos and the cards you come up with is amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent and also your left over craft supplies with us. =)
Take Care! ~Anna
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmWOW! What a givaway. Well I am Organization Queen. I am pretty sure I am a little OCD. I always say,” A happy house is a clean house.” The best advice I can give is to make your areas user friendly. I purchased plastic drawers from target in two sizes. They stack on top of each other, are packed full, look nice and help to keep me organized!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmI would love to tell you that I’m organized but the truth is I’m not! I do dream of one day living in an orderly organized home–does that count? I would love to win this give away!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmWinner, winner, chicken dinner. I’m feeling lucky!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmI love your videos and come by here most days to see new ones or look through your older cards :) You have inspired me back into card making :) I’m naturally tidy and will clear away after each LO or card making session. everything is within reach :) when i do clear out my craft area I give all the “no longer wanted” bit’s to a local pre-school
November 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmYou are so generous to pass on all these supplies
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmfrom your craft room!! I enjoy organizing and need
to do it on a fairly regular basis. I like to keep the things I use most within easy reach and to keep my
paper and stamps well organized. I am not very
good at doing what you have just done, which is
purging, so that I don’t keep stuff I am not using.
Love love love your videos. I am a SAHM and every mon and fri my 11 month old and I watch your videos (she always dances to your lil jingle at the beginning). Any who, I stay organized buy trying not to buy too much if I see I am running out of space I start doing as much projects as I can so I can buy more. Some of my beginnier scrapbook stuff and really old stuff I give to my sunday school class or my niece. But believe it or not I dont have anything you have shown in this video. I have wanted it all but my husband would kill me if I got it all. I have never won anything before, really hope I get this one. Keeping my fingers crossed
Thanks for a chance to win
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmWow Kristina! How exciting … hopefully I am the one you choose!
I have come to learn that by keeping (pretty much) everything sorted by color, I am able to find things more easily. I generally think in color, so this is a great solution for me!
Thanks again for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmSuzanne
Hooo SMokes!! That is VERY generous of you! Whoever gets this giveaway will be a very lucky person!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmi try to stay organized by using plastic containers and 2 special locker.
Hope I can win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmI want it …I want it…. thanks for thinking of us when you clean up…. love your giveaways…..
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmI “attempt” to stay organized by having a specific place for everything. After it has been used it goes back to it’s spot. I do need to organize my idea file though….just a pile of papers at this point, they need to be filed.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmthe only thing that keeps me organized is labels, I label each container or box with what’s inside. otherwise I tend let throw everything in boxes and never know where anything is :) Love, love your videos and designs!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pmOMG!!!!!! Please pick me!!!!!!
I always enjoy your blog.
Thanks.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:53 pmHi there!
What an amazing giveaway!
I’m fairly new to crafting, but in an attempt to keep tidy I invested in some of those ‘really useful’ clear boxes. The problem is, I’m so in love with all things shiny that I can’t bring myself to hide anything away in them! Never mind, it’s organised chaos.
Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:53 pmLaura

1st time I’ve seen your site. Very nice – looking forward to returning many times. My best tip – works in the kitchen too – use it and put it away. One tool / paper out a time.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:54 pmThis is awesome! I keep everything in clear containers and hang up a lot so that it’s out where I can see it. Thanks for the chance to win!
Jackie
November 15th, 2009 at 2:54 pmYou are so sweet & generous. Organising is a constant challenge for me – my supplies seem to outgrow my storage solutions faster than I can think of new ones! I have to take time to get everything back in the right place after each project or I run out of space (desk space & thinking space!). I have found lots of handy storage containers at hardware stores. And one of my favourite organisation tricks is to keep each of my 6×6 pads (mostly Basic Grey) in ziplock clear plastic bags so that loose sheets & scraps can be stored with the related pad – I use up scraps much quicker that way. Have fun cleaning up – it’s very satisfying when everything is back in the right place (even if it doesn’t last long!).
November 15th, 2009 at 2:54 pmmmmm so sweet candy !
i don`t have idea for clean and well organized room, all the time i have mess in my room :D
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmI love and always look forward to all your videos. you were one of my first subscriptions when I first started watching you tube and you always give me great ideas.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmI adore you videos and blog! I am a avid reader! I would love to win your leftovers! hehe
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmHi Kristina I would love to win toyr box of goodies.Try keeping the same things together in containers eg stickers with writing ,stickers ,alphabets,ect.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmWoah! That’s a lot of stuff! Thanks for giving us the chance to win it! I try to stay organized by cleaning up my mess after every card I make! It’s kind of a pain and it takes time but in the long run, it usually makes me feel better!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmOh Wow!! Since discovering your blog I’ve been soooo inspired to get back into card making. Managing to keep really organised by using everything up!! Only thing is whenever I see something you use I find myself getting twitchy fingers & have to work really hard to stop myself buying it all!! So lovin’ all that you do & really enjoying getting a daily ‘fix’ at the moment. Em x
November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pmWow! What a lot of yummy goodies you have there! Thanks for the chance to win them! Let’s see, one of the biggest organizational things that helps me, is that I have all of my cardstock filed and labeled by season in some Cropper Hopper Vertical holders. Then in a separate rolling set of drawers, I have my scraps filed by color. I have all of my reds/pinks in one drawer, yellows/oranges in another, neutrals in another, etc. I have a separate drawer for my white CS scraps so that whenever I need to stamp something on a small piece that I know will be matted later, I can find the right size in a snap without having to cut up a new 12×12 sheet.
My ribbons, buttons, chipboard, etc all have their own special spot in my craft room too. *Ü*
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pmHi there! Well, the way I stay organised is that I recycle a *lot* of stuff anyone would normally throw away. For example, I use a clean water bottle to store my buttons — I decorate it afterwards. I use empty boxes of crackers and decorate these as well to store scraps of papers. I lace up old birthday cards whose designs I might use later with packaging cords.
In any case … that box sure looks amazing — I love your ideas and your immense sense of creativity. Thanks for doing this!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pmWow Kristina – what a great prize to give away. I try to keep my supplies organized (they all have a certain spot) at least once a week, now whether that happens or not is anyone’s guess :) It makes it much easier to find things needed but I have so much I have trouble remembering things I do have and organizing helps me do that. On another note, I just want to say – I LOVE visiting your blog – you have taught me so much and look forward to your videos.
Thanks
Janet
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pmI LOVE your videos! Don’t have a room but a corner of the closet. My kids watch your videos and raid my supplies!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pmThanks for the inspiration!
Hi

Wow Kristina this giveaway is awesome. I love your video’s. I use all kind of boxes to organize. Hugs marja
November 15th, 2009 at 2:57 pmHey!! Wow you are so kind! I would never be able to give away so many things at once!!! I am really unorganized but whenever i try to get rid of some things i just cant! I always want to keep everything, so I just put old products away so i can find them if i need to….
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pmThanks so much for giving me a chance to win this prize! So generous of you!! I love your tutorials, you inspire me so much!! (love the white stitching :)))) ) Thank you again, whoever wins this (i hope its me) is SUPER lucky!!
xxx
I see a lot of stuff that isn’t avalible here. ;-<
And to be honest it would be quite expensive to buy a box full like this one so yessss!!
I would like to win :D
Like a zillion other people :-P
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pmHi !!
I love your videos, and have been watching them for months already.
Since i live on a tiny island in northern Norway with no craft stores nearby, internet is the easiest way for me to buy my craft stuff. And the thought of winning this would be just too awesome.
Thank you for all your videos, i will be following them in the future as well.
Thanks :)
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pmOH MY thank you for sharing. The stuff is gorgeous!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pmI just want to tell you – you are so fantastic and talented person!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pmoh my goodness that is a lot of stuff! thanks for the chance Kristina, I loooove your blog!
<3
November 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pmYour craft room looks like mine! I have stuff everywhere, but would always be happy to add more!
November 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pmCan’t say that I’m that organized, just like to keep everything the same together. Keep everything alike in the same drawer. And keep most used stuff close to my work area. Great give away. I like to use up everything so it doesn’t go to waste.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pmHow fun! I like to use 12×12 project cases to stay organized & keep my paper & embellishments together.
Thanks for a chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:00 pmSuch a great giveaway! The winner will be a lucky girl! Love all your videos!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:00 pmI have to stay organized because I currently don’t have a dedicated scrapbooking/craft area in my home, so I actually use a folding table and move all my stuff from my closet to my temporary “craft area”. I just buy what I know I’ll use and make sure to put everything in it’s proper place after I’ve used it. Thanks for this great giveaway…. I would love to win and I wouldn’t mind moving all these goodies back and forth between my closet and “craft area” =)

November 15th, 2009 at 3:01 pmI have a lot of boxes labeled on shelfs around me :) And a clip it up, which i love!
Well, I have to say that office depot is my friend when it comes to organising my stuff! From make up to scrapbook, I use a lot of the little three-drawers thingy, and the paper organiser too!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmhow can you give all that away!? Wow, i would love too have all that! thanks for you generosity!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmDear Kristina, it’s been two years since I got into this amazing craze of playing with paper. A friend led me to your blog and I loved it and your style! God bless you! XOX, W. : )
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmHi i am really enjoying your 25 days of christmas videos..you are soooo creative and an inspiration… I would love to win ..i also have a crazy “craft” area amongst my husbands office stuff…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmHi,
your card ideas are always great and I visit your blog regularly to see whats new.
Your candy today is very very yummy, and I take my chance and enter the draw.
Have a nice day,
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmSusanne
I love watching your videos, I would love to get some of your stuff, Maybe with it being in your craft space some of your creativity will be shipped along in the box. (without you knowing of course)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmMuch Love
For me the best way to stay organised is to have a set place for everything and make sure I clear up after each crafting session (takes some will power when I finish at 2am!). I have loads of the square cube shelving.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmWhat a fantastic lot of stash to win! Thanks for the chance :)
I use the Scrap Rack. If I will be diligent in loading stuff in it, I can find things.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pmYou are such a sweet and talented chick! THAT IS ONE AWESOME GIVEAWAY !
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pmWhat an awesome idea! You are so generous.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pmHeck I would take a box of just your scraps, you use such great papers.
Keep making those awesome videos, I appreciate them!
Hi Kristina,
I would love to win this box of goodies. Alot of those products are not available here in Canada. Love, Love, Love ur videos, especially the 25 days of Christmas. Thanks for being so generous with ur give away. I really hope I win! :o
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pmHai, I love your videos
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pmOh my goodness gracious! You are sooo generous for giving someone all that TOTALLY AMAZING STUFF!!! I love your videos and never miss one! Good luck on the organizing!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pmYou are so generous! It seems like I’m always trying to find the perfect way to keep my stash organized. I love baskets and boxes to keep things separate.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pmWow!!!!!! That is a lot of goodies. I love your videos. You are the best! I hope I win.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pmTHANK YOU SO MUCH. Terra terra215@gmail.com
like you, i try to bring new stuff to the forefront and I either give the old stuff away, or use up remaining product that has maybe one or two pieces left.
Have fun cleaning! It feels so good when it’s done!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pmi attempt to stay organised by storing ‘like with like’ in clear plastic LOCKABLE containers. i store all embellishments together, all punches, all paper, etc etc. while i would love prettier storage, i do have small kids and things that come with a lock are the best way to protect my stuff, er, kids!, from danger!
thanks for the opportunity to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pmHello again! well, I hope to win. Thanks for the chance…I´m cleaning my room too and guess what? My husband is a good helper! Isn’t that good?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pmKristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pmWow! I’d love to win anything from you! I am most impressed with the paper combinations and all the embellishments you use. Thanks for the chance!
hi,
you have beautiful items, i envy you. I don’t have a lot of scrapbooking supplies and i keep them in clear storage plastic containers (for now) :)
Arlene
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pmWOW!! of all your giveaways, this is THE best. i hope i win this time!! *cross fingers* your the best kristina!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pmI’m a librarian so being organized is in my blood! I use lots of those plastic towers of drawers to hold my stamp sets, punches, ink embossing supplies etc. Each item has a home and each drawer has a label. I also have 60 little metal spice containers with a magnet on the bottom that are on my wall in rows of six. In those I keep embellisments according to the SU colour families – 2 colours per container. My paper is in a filing cabinet, in colour families. Scraps go in a Ziplock back in the file for the colour. Designer Paper is in Ziplock bags with a label listing the colours. If it is just one colour then into the file it goes.
Find a home for everything and always put it back at the end and you’ll find you stay organized! Good Luck!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pmi TRY to keep everything in boxes without lids (chipboard, embellishment, abc stickers, etc) but midway through a project it’s everywhere. organization is a constant struggle!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pmWow, what a terrific gift, thanks for the chance to win!!! I used to be a digital scrapper only and my organizing tool then was ACDSee. But now that I’m starting to make hybrid cards (thanks for your terrific videos, BTW, sooooo inspiring!!) and scrapbooks, I need to get organized IRL too! I’ve recently purchased a few boxes at Ikea to store my stamping stuff (inks, stamps, cleaner), my punches, etc. I don’t have much stuff (yet!), so it works pretty well for now. Oh, and I used your tip for embossing powders: they are in tupperwares like yours!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pmHi Kristina! I relatively new to scrapbooking and cardmaking. I came across your youtube channel a few months ago and have learned so much from you. I really enjoy your style. In regards to staying organized, I used a gift cert that I had to Ikea and bought a shelved closet specifically for my art supplies. I also bought little baskets and organizational items there too since they are so cheap. I make it a habit to make sure that all my supplies are organized after I’m finished with whatever project I’m working on.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pmOh wow, would I ever love to win that huge boxful of sweet scrapbooking treats.
Organizing can be a daunting task but when you’re room is messy it just means that you’re busy creating works of art!!!
Thanks for having a great giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pmWow! Thanks for sharing the love! You’re so generous, not only w/ your scrappy stuff, but with your time and your talent. Thank you!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pmWOW…what a box…I don’t have a room so I am “trying” (cough cough) to keep it contained….but we all love LOTS of stuff to play with….so…..going to have to come up with a different plan!!!!! thanks for the giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pmWow, wow what a fantastic giveaway, so generous. Thanks for giving everyone a chance to win. There are some fab goodies and sooo much we don’t get here in the UK. I’ve only just discovered your blog and you offer so much inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pmI have a small space to work, so one of my space saving tips is to use the plastic chinese takeaway containers for my buttons, brads, flowers etc.
I love your blog. I get so much help with your color choices and designs. I also love organizing. When I see pictures of your scraproom, I “itch” as I would love to come and help you organize your room. My craft area in my master bedroom is organized by function. I can reach everything I need where I sit once I begin a project. When I am done, It takes me about 5 minutes to clean it up. This makes it very stress free. Thankyou for sharing your skill with us.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pmI organize all my scraps. For example: Blue has a hanging file folder and within it are two file folders–one for solid blues, one for patterned blues. Thanks for the chance!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pmHi Kristina
This is very kind of you to give away all this stuff. Please add me in your drawing. I am mostly organised in all parts of my life. Always planning cleaning and organizing except for my craft room. I lost control and trying very hard to get things back in order. It’s getting closer to be organized but I’m still have work to do.
Thanks for giving us a chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pmOHHHH EMMMMM GEEEEEEE! What a box of stuff! I am too excited about it to remember what I was going to tell you about organizing…
ummm… like products together?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pmHey Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pmThis is great what you do,i know what it is if you have to re-organiz your corner,i did it this week too,…it is sooooooo chantil of you to give away….yes,i want to win to,who doesn’t,hehe!!!
Thank you,Kristina,for this oppertunity,
big warm hugs
Natalie

How amazing are you to be able to part with so much WONDERFUL product!! I am drooling at all the eye candy and would love to dig through that box!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pmBy the way I love your tutorials and have been inspired to actually make holiday cards this year … I am usually just a scrapper but I love the card making now too! Thanks for the chance.
I try to get organized with IKEA: clear plastic boxes, drawers, kitchen stuff….
Thanks for the chance! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pmHi I love your video so much wonderful goodies. Well for now I stay organized by I bought a big plastic container that I have everything in I don’t have much yet but everything fits and stays organized in my container. Thanks so much for this great chance to win. Good luck everyone :]
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pmWhat a great giveaway!! Ilove all you projects, you are very gifted!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pmWOW!!! thats a lot of craft product!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmLove your videos, and your card style. In the last month I converted a room into a craft room and I am still in the process of getting organized. I am loving making cards…….
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmI try to keep organized but it it a losing battle … I keep on buying more stuff :) I mainly use boxes and containers to organize. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmHow do I stay organized??? I have baskets and shelving…but I find the trick is to “clean up” my works space atleast once a week! ; )
Love your posts Kristina! you are such an inspiration to me!
Laura
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmlove your videos recently had to go from two rooms to one so i’ve done a lot of cleaning and reorganizing (daughter moving back home wants her room back lol) recently
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmfound nursing home who will take anything i don’t want for their resident craft area so this would be great!
Oh my word – what a give-a-way! You are so kind for not only sharing your goodies with us, but your talent and samples as well. My biggest organization tip is what you are doing – purge and purge often. And then clean up after each project.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pmMy local scrapbook store has a “garage sale” twice a year. I usually pick up some great deals. Your “box o’ stuff” reminds me of that! Great idea! Thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmWow, what a great prize! My best tip is to totally clean up after every card I make. Good luck making room for more goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmHi!
i´d love to win….well guess thats a given
i follow you on the tube….and i always
love your cards.
thanx
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmWho started this rule, that we have to have a clean craft room? I don’t like it.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmOh my goodness!!! How generous of you! I would love to win some of the products that you use and turn into masterpieces :-).
I have a couple great tips that have helped me stay organized…I installed plastic bins and attached them to my craft table. This way when I am working I can easily pull them out when I need a scrap piece of paper. I have 5 bins and organize them according to the size of the paper and have one especially for DSP. I think you would need at least 10 just for all your DSP. LOL! I also have a jewellery organizer hanging over the closet door in my craft room which actually houses a lot of goodies and it is clear so I can easily see what I am looking for.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmThanks again!
I keep myself organized by: using up scrapping scraps on cards, keeping everything organized by brand in 12″ square boxes, keeping the everything in boxes really, but the truth is I’m not very organized at all :(
November 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pmHow exceiting, a goody box give-a-way from the world’s most creative card designer!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pmDoes flattery work?
Oooh love all the goodies your giving away!
I TRY to keep organized by the binder system. I have binders for my stickers, rubons, bling and even stamps.
With the acrylic stamps I double sticky tape the backing onto a piece of paper and insert it into a top loading protector sheet. I put a strip of tape across the top of the acrylic sheet and it does well holding everything in. They get organized according to type (sentiments, holidays, etc).
November 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pmOh, wow – keeping organized is a constantly evolving task in my craft room. I use vertical cropper hoppers for paper, by manufacturer, and I have a great 18 drawer vintage dresser that I got at a garage sale that I keep all my die cutting, digital cutter cartridges, punches, etc. anything that won’t be affected by acid from the wood. I also have drawers that are beside my work space for all the go-to items – scissors, adhesives, favorite items such as a corner rounder. I use jars for fibers/threads by color, and do the same with buttons. But it always seems like I’m adding more, so I’m always having to come up with more/better ways of keeping everything in it’s place. Somehow it always ends up sprawled on my workspace – LOL! Thanks for the opportunity !!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pmHoly Moly! TONS of good stuff… you are too kind :)
I sometimes think I spend more time organizing than I do actually creating.. or it seems that way anyhow… I just try to make sure everything has it’s “place” which entails having a ton of the rubber-maid drawer systems… and lots of other different types of containers. If it gets too “out of sight” then I forget I even bought it & have been notorious for buying items I later discovered I already had :( oops!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pmAnyhow, thanks for the great giveaway-
Jaime
That’s a great box of goodies. I did this exact same thing yesterday. I’m taking my box to work in the morning, hopefully some of my scrapbooking co workers can use it. I am always trying to reorganize. I have yet to find what works for me.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pmohmygosh!!! your giveaway is like a Christmas morning!!! can’t believe that fantastic goodies in a box!! thanks for the chance Kristina!!! =)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pmI LOVE to reorganize my craft room and seem to do it every couple of weeks or so. I like to keep as much as I can out within reach for easy access as well as making sure I actually USE my stash… so lots of shelves, baskets, and drawers are my answers to keeping organized.
Thanks for the giveaway! I can’t wait to see who wins!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pmI can’t get enough of your card videos! You are such an inspiration :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pmI love all your videos and ideas!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pmWow! Tons of great goodies.
I stay organized with files for my cardstock and paper, binder rings and hooks for my ribbon and lots of drawers for everything else. Let’s not forget my trust label maker too!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmDear Kristina!
Thanks for the chance to win.
It is really generous of you.
I wish I could win your goodies.
I love your blog. Your videos are realley great.
Best wishes from Germany!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmDESI
TFS such a great video and inspiration to get my scrap area cleaned up! Thx for an amazing opportunity to win such great prizes :) Cheers from Ontario, Canada!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmLove this box of stuff…how generous you are to give it away. I am very lucky…got the scrapbox for xmas last year and so far have been able to keep it somewhat organized and in site.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmWow!.. Please enter me! So nice of you to think of others!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmIm really enjoying watching your videos in YOUTUBE.I hope you will continue posting informative videos on scrapbooking. Every season I stay organize by gathering all my unused or extra stuff littering my room put it in the box and by the end of the year I send it to my family back home. Bless ur heart! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pmOh my word…this would be the best birthday gift EVER! (Bday is coming up on the 24th!:)
I stay organized out of necessity. I can not function in a messy space either because it is distracting, or I feel guilty for playing while things shoudl be getting done.
One way I keep organized is by incorporating stations or zones in my scrapbook studio. My closet is embellishment central. I have two spaces for stamp storage, one for wall shelves, another for SU! boxed sets. Within the boxed sets, I sort by retired, current, ect. I also have many many bins. I have an acrylic stamp bin, unmounted stamp bin(s), tool bin, ink pad bin, ect.
I also keep my desk in the center of teh room so that everything flows around the main work area. I have a paper zone, an embellishment zone, a photo zone, ect. I have a cutting zone with my desktop trimmer, cricut, and big shot and dies all in one location.
I try to keep like items together and store by manufacturer when possible to keep lines together.
I am siure I have babbled too much, but I hope this helps and I hope I win! :)
THANK YOU!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pm<3 Alicia
Thanks for the opportunity to win all these treasures! I’m a huge fan, and promise to share the loot with all my crafty friends! Heck, I could probably purge my current stash NOW to share with them to make room for whatever I won’t be giving away from your loot!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pmYou’re my fave!! I love all of your cards and videos. I would LOVE to win this. We’ll see… Thanks for all the time you put in to sharing your talent.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pmLove your style and your videos. I continue to learn so much from you. Organization….I’m always trying…I’ve got lots of plastic stackable bins from Target where I stash just about everthing. Looking at redoing my space though and looking at Ikea for inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pmmy organization efforts are mainly in just trying to put everything away when I am done or before I start another project, I don’t have a space of my own, in fact my stuff is in my master bedroom and dh is so understanding that is is always a mess at some point of creativity, purging is just the begining of organization and I wish you luck with your efforts and thanks for sharing
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmNo chance of being organized – but things are somewhat that way in their respective piles.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmI love your videos and would love to help you out by taking that stuff off your hands :-) Thank you for being so generous!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmI have a good organization system, and whenever I’m done crafting, I put everything back in its place!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmLove this giveway. Ok, so here is what I “try” to do on a weekly basis is to just go through my plan of action I wrote down of all the things needed to be done to organize my room to perfection such as stamping all my stamp images in a categorized binder, organize my photos, etc..
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmOn a daily basis, I clean up the work area so that it’s nice and ready to be used with a clear mind.
I usually try to clean up after each project is finished. If it’s going to take a few days I have a plastic box with a lid and I store everything in the box til the project is finished. I recently got a craft room so it’s easier to keep everything in its place. I have rubbermaid rolling drawers as well as some paper trays. Everything is labeled to make it easier to find.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmOh my! This little box of goodies definitely has my name on it. I’m about to give birth (in early January) and I’m not going to be able to buy stuff for a while, so yes, any free goodies is all I can get for some time (babies are SO expensive!), Anyways, how I try to keep organized is cleaning up after every scrapping session…if I don’t do that my area starts looking like a tornado hit it, in just seconds! LOL
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmIt can get a little annoying sometimes, since we barely have time to actually scrap, much less to organize, but the results are totally worth it. I want to win this sooo bad. You have great taste :)
Thanks for the opportunity!
What a generous giveaway!!! Thanks for the opportunity….
I stay organized by labeling everything….try to put things away as I am completing a project, I have a lot of plastic drawer containers that I use to store most of my things, but mainly clean up after each project.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmHi!
I LOVE your videos…You have helped me alot whith my scrapbook hobby, im a beginner but i learn quickly=) my only problem is that i don´t have so much supplies so it would be GREAT too win this goodies^^
p.s is it a problem that i live in sweden? maybe it will be too expensive too chip it=( d.s
Many hugs from Isabella the swedish beginner=D
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmAfter every card i make, I put everything away again. it’s the only way i’ll stay organized ;)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmWow, Kristina! I’m drooling over that box of goodies! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmThanks for the chance to win this box o’ fun! I TRY to stay organized by having supplies grouped by type and then by colour. My shelving system incorporates lots of Cropper Hopper vertical paper storage and baskets! I purge about once a year to try to make room and get rid of older things or things I may have bought and not used. A bunch of us have a scrapbooking supply swap ‘n shop with our purged stuff.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmLots of scrappy goodness there. I’m not super organized, but I do declutter every once in awhile and I have banned myself from buying certain things. =D
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmI don’t have any craft things so I’m hoping to get some <3
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pmWow! That’s a lot of stuff! I would be more than happy to take it off your hands! Thanks for all of the inspiration and the chance to win such a great giveaway!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pmI love your videos and blog!! thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pmThanks for the chance to win such amazing things. I love coming to your website to see the beautiful things you create. I try to keep my things organized by putting everything that matches together, then the odd ends by what they are. Stamps with stamps, ribbon with ribbon all categorized by colors or patterns.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pmHi there,
Cant blame you for wanting to cleanse and reorganise. Its very generous of you to think of others, thanks for the opportunity to get some spiffy product!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pmI would love to win any fun stuff that you have used on your many wonderful cards! Thanks for the giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 pmhow I keep myself organized?!? yikes….you just inspired me to get downstairs and clean up my act!! hopefully i’ll be making room for the new goodies i’m about to win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:19 pmMy gosh, what an awesome giveaway :D hopefully I will be the lucky winner? ;)
xoxo
Rachel
ps: I love your videos so much! They are so very inspiring :) thanks for your work!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:19 pmOh my goodness, how generous! Last Christmas, my hubby helped me get organized (i.e. take back the office lol) and bought me several of the white making memories cubes from Michaels. I am asking for the carousel for this Christmas. I would be so grateful if I won and could replenish my stash!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:19 pm~Suzanne, suzyq28024@gmail.com
How RAD are you to give away such FUN stuff!!! How much would I LOVE to clutter my desk with it all?! ;)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pmI love, love watching your videos every week. You have inspired me to craft more often. Your ideas are wonderful and easy to do-Thank you! Thanks for this opportunity! =P
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pmIf I win the box, maybe it will give me incentive to clean and organize my own craft room! thanks for the chance.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pmhi
how i keep organized….
well i am very clean but sometimes i am in a hurry and dump all my things in my paper drawer :P
I have 4 storage drawers they have lables. like new products, stamps, random stuff, paper…
you should try it :)
cant wait to see the winner !!!
angelica
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pmI try to stay organized but sometimes it does not work. What I do when I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with supplies is I give them to my niece’s girl scout troop for craft projects. I’ve also made cards for soliders with extras and even Love Letters. It is an organization that sends cards to sick children.
I’d love to win the box of goodies. so many nice things in there.
Thank you for doing this.
Loretta
November 15th, 2009 at 3:21 pmwould love to win Kristina! I keep my scraps in a large envelope so that I can easily find what I need. I also have my flowers seperated out by color into little canning (jam) jars. Thanks for the giveaway!
Kaylee
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pmHi!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pmLOVE your videos!! And love all the goodies, it would be nice to win them because I’m form Croatia and we don’t have it here.
xo
Pick me! Pick me! I love your video. My daughter loves them too, she’s 6.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pmThanks so much
Sasha Jardine
I would love to win this giveaway I have always loved your videos you inspried me to try my hand at making my own videos.
Anna
November 15th, 2009 at 3:23 pmI couldn’t resist not commenting on such a jaw droppingly awesome give-away!
Just wanted to say thank you for all your inspirational work, Kristina! I closely follow all your videos and posts and I blame you for my rounded corner and faux stitches addiction haha. Kraft paper isn’t readily available here, or I’d be stockpiling that too!
As I don’t have a craft/scrapbooking room(fingers crossed: maybe a small space in our future home), I have claimed a corner of our living room as my own and I organise (or try lol) all my things in pretty (but inexpensive) black and white damask boxes in assorted sizes. I also have a section of a cupboard where I store all my huuuuge stash of beads which are stored in mini drawers bought at the hardware store, and cloth. It looks nice, all my clutter is out of sight, and everyone’s a happy monkey :D
November 15th, 2009 at 3:23 pmWOW. What a great thing to win. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach.
I have several plastic containers that help me stay organized. I also try to clean up at least once a week but it’s hard to do sometimes.

November 15th, 2009 at 3:23 pmI’ve been watching your card videos for a wile now and they always looked super cute and creative, you’re one of my favourite arts & crafts lady on Youtube, seriously.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pmHope I win… (,”) good luck everyone!
I try to pick up after every project or after a session of stamping. I seem to be able to make a HUGE MESS in a short amount of time! The picking up part isn’t as fun as the creating part, but it does help me to stay somewhat organized! Good luck with your organizing!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pmWhat an amazing box of goodies! The most important thing to me about organizing is keeping the basics right at hand. I have shelves on the back of my table that I use to keep my adhesives, paper trimmer, and the inks I use most often. I hate digging everything out every time I sit down to craft.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pmI use a number of those drawer totes on wheels. This way you can label the outside and move it around the room to whatever crafting area you have.
Thanks for the chance to win such great goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI clean up (and try to stay organized) by sharing with others… wow, would my girlfriends and I have some fun crops if I were a lucky winner:) Thanks for sharing so generously!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmWow wow wow! You have some AMAZING products there!!! I’m in the UK so the variety of American products over here is somewhat limited – the Indian Summer collection is GORGEOUS!!!! So… What do I do to keep organised?? Hmm… Short answer nothing that works! My craft space is looking a bit like yours at the mo, lol. I made some christmas cards with my little girl the other day and had everything out downstairs, so when I took them back up the ended up making an even bigger pile on my desk :-s I have big plastic boxes on a shelving unit but I can’t get to them easily so *really* need to figure something else out :-s My fiance won’t want me to win coz I’ll make even more mess, lol, but I’m sure he’ll change his mind if I remind him how long it’d keep me quiet hehe :o) x
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI wish I was organized–it is an every year resolution and once in a while it is pretty neat until I start working. The box of goodies looks fantastic!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmThanks for the chance to win. I love your videos. I learn so much from you. Keep em coming.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmWow that is an incredible giveway! I understand the need to keep organized. I find myself reorganizing often – mostly because I enjoy doing that (organzing freak!).
Thanks for the chance!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmHello: Love your blog and videos. What a Giveaway, it would be a blessing to win! You have really nice stuff. Angela.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmWow….so many things!
I’m not OCD but my friends always teased me because I cleaned my room so often (every weekend). Because I went to an art school after every project my room would be a mess. When my room is a mess I can’t think so I would clean. Also when I get stressed cleaning helps me to calm down so sometimes I cleaned my room 2 to 3 times a week.
I organize my stuff by size and type of object. I organize my stuff in boxes. The bigger boxes with stuff I don’t use often in the basement. I have all the boxes labeled and my stuff separated by type because I don’t want to go through 20 different boxes just to find my shoes. And in my room I keep smaller boxes with my nail art and regular art supplies. I have seperate boxes for different art supplies *ex) one box with all my nail polish, one box with all my paints and brushes, one with all my fake nails and decoration for nail art. I love shoe boxes because they fit under my bed and it’s easy to take out and put back. The most important thing for me is to label them because I don’t have the most wonderful memory in the world I’d forget what I put in my boxes.
Hope I didn’t write too much but that is how I organize my stuff. And thanks for giving out so much stuff. And good luck to everyone!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmThank you for the giveaway!
I try to stay organized by having a place for everything, which more recently has meant labeling boxes and file folders so I know where to put things after I’ve taken them out or where to put items that I just bought. Being in a tiny apartment, space organization is proving to be extremely important!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI bought myself lots and lots of containers Crate and Barrels to keep organized
November 15th, 2009 at 3:26 pmYou are sooo generous! Pick me, pick me! :D
I TRY to stay organized by buying those plastic drawers and boxes from Wal-mart/Target/IKEA. Although everytime I get creative {WINK} my craft area gets really messy. Oh well…
Keep the videos coming ‘coz I really love your work!
Jocelyn
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pmMy husband and I are actually converting the space above our garage into a craft room…..granite countertops, wood flooring, etc. Can’t wait!

Well, I anticipate see’n more great videos, Thanks Again for a chance to win a FUN Goody Box!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pmHoly cow! I’m crossing my fingers!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pmI TRY to stay organized by having things separated into designated areas in my scrap area. Button in jars, paper on shelves, stamps in drawer, ribbons…well, ribbons are everywhere! But it inevitably gets messy and I have to stop a pick up from time to time. It can get crazy!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:28 pmThanks for the giveaway. Very generous of you. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmWow, you must spend a lot on all your card-making supplies! How nice of you to give all of these away. I would really love to win these! Thanks again for giving everybody this opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmI would ;ove to win all your scraps
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmI try to purge regularly by sharing my extra supplies with my Gran and her friends who have a scrapbooking club … it’s a constant battle.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmThat’s so much give away you are an angle!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmI love your cards and they are so cute. I always look forward to watching your videos and learned so much from you. Thank U!
I started scrapbooking about a month ago somehow I watched your video from Youtobe and it motivated me to start.
I organize my scrapbooking supplies in multi color drawers and color boxes and label them. Have a happy thanksgiving to everyone and good luck!
Bins are the only way for me to stay organized!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmWow! I was thinking of doing a give-a-way of the stuff I can’t use, but it is NOTHING like yours! *LOL* I love your cards! I have really been enjoying your 25 days of Christmas Cards series and look forward to each new video!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pmWhat an awesome giveaway!! WOW!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmI try to stay organized by having shelves, rubbermaid containers, rolling cart with drawers. I save a lot of glass and plastic containers to hold buttons, embellishments and other accessories. Thanks for the chance to win this goodie box! Looks like Christmas in there. :)
Great stuff! I’m feeling lucky!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmHi, thanks for the opporunity to win some of your personal collection. I currently in the process of organizing my office by purchasing Making Memory cubes from Michaels with my 40% coupons each week. I would love to buy more cubes to fit all of this stuff if I win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmOhhh my I am shaking as I watched your youtube video. You are so sweet. Thanks for a chance.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmooh some good stuff there. well, i attempt to stay organized by limiting the “crafting/art” area in my room to a small shelf and a small rolling desk (in which i keep more supplies). it’s worked well so far and it forces me to keep things clean. plus, i can’t work or create any art if i’m starting off messy. it’s just messes w/ my mind too much lol. i use those pull-out plastic containers and the shoe box plastic containers for the smaller items. it’s worked very well so far :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmI have two rules that help me stay organised.
1) Clean up after each project.
2) I very often break rule one, so rule two has to be implemented. Rule two is that i absolutely MUST clean up when I can no longer see any white space on my desk.
This has kept me reasonably organised for the last five months.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmWow how fantastic I would even share with my daughter-in-law if I won!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pmHi Kristina. After finding your videos on YouTube I’ve totally become addicted to card making. I’m very new to this and don’t have a lot of stuff, but I try to put everything back in its designated spot as soon as I finish using it that way it won’t accumulate in one place and take over my entire work area. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. I can’t wait to see your new card.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:31 pmA lot of the stuff is really cute! Hope I win! I love all your vids btw :))
November 15th, 2009 at 3:31 pmWOW! I would love to win this! I organize most of my items in my Jetmax cubes and in my scrapbooking armoire. I organize all of my embellies by color in different drawers and I also sort my patterned paper by color…my mind thinks in terms of color when I’m scrapping. I also love having a drawer beside me with my go to items…it’s very helpful! Thanks for a chance to win : )
November 15th, 2009 at 3:32 pmWow!! I like live on your blog!! and when I seen you where doing a give away I was super excited!! That is very Generous of you to do!! Out with the old in with the NEW!!!

November 15th, 2009 at 3:32 pmYou’re giving away more stuff than I have in my entire scrapbook collection! TFS.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:32 pmOh my word! What a giveaway!
I never ever stay organized long, i do it once in a while, but it always ends up with a chaos. I find that I have more inspiration when it is a bit messy :)
Would love to win all this stuff, we dont have all this products to buy here in Sweden.
BIG hugs
November 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pmOh wow! This is a fantastic giveaway!
I have a small craft corner that I try to keep organized using various containers…but for the most part, I’m a “pile-it”. The organization is an ever-evolving process. hehe.
Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pmOne way I stay organized is I try and be selective about what I bring into my craft room. Despite that I still hope I win!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pmthanks for the chance to win! im so excited. I just started to make cards and i only have a few things to work with so it would be nice if i got this box but if i don’t congratulation to the winner. I love watching you!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pmI just my things in separate boxes and containers. Like one would be like a big tab folder full of paper in a box and another box could have glitter, stickers, etc. I try to stay organized though, most of the time it gets really messy ^__^v Well, good luck to everyone! :DD
November 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pmHello. My daughter and I began screaming when we saw the awesome stuff you were giving out. We were always shy of posting a commment, but now there was too temptaion. Honestly and embarrassingly, we don’t know the definition of the word “organization”. We just jump in the mess and start creating.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pmOMG i love all of those stuff!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pmi hope i win!!!!!!!
:P
I would LOVE to win this box-o-goodies. I try to stay clean and organized in my space by trying to go through my stash often. I clear out things I don’t think I will be using or can’t remember why I bought them and I place them into a giveaway box. When the box is full it’s off to a charity or non-profit organization such as local schools, cards for the troops, etc. Helps me stay organized and does some good for others as well.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pmEven though my space is just as stuffed as yours, I can never turn down a chance to amass some new stuff. ;)
I try to stay organized by keeping like items together while still keeping as much as I can visible– when things are packed away, I don’t use them. All in all, I can still function in a messy space, so I don’t worry myself too much about it until it takes over my workspace.
Love everything you do!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pmHi Kristina
I watch all of your videos and think you are fabulous.
Staying organised is a challenge for me as I have small children and I no longer have a scrap room. I am very good at using up every little piece of things so I just try and keep things in there place as I hate wasting time looking for stuff.
Hi from New Zealand and thanks for the chance to enter.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pmAwesome stash. I need to clean through my stash and purge. Maybe this week.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pmOh my goodness…what a generous giveaway! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pmPick me, pick me!!! I would love to add to my stash. Organize? Who has time to organize. My space is a mess but I know where everything is. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pmwhat a huge give away. I don’t stay organized I do try though. I find that you’re a very talented person and I follow your videos religiously. You are the # 1 crafted person and blesses so many. Stay Blessed ….starofmay
November 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pmLinda
I’d say that I am addicted to a few things in life, one is card making and the other is containers and organization. I have a very limited craft area so I keep organized using Sterilite 12X12 drawers from Walmart. They stack really well.
This is my first time commenting but I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas. You’ve really helped keep me inspired!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:38 pmThis would be AMAZING!!! i love all of them and your cards!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:38 pmMy stamp room is far from photo worthy, but I do try to stay organized or at least get that way again after a session of stamping. I have a container fetish! I have boxes, bags, baskets, buckets,drawers, tins, and any other found item that can serve as a container to hold my stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmI am not organized.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmI don’t know if I’ll ever be organized.
I like too much stuff.
I would love to give your things a home with all of mine.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hello Kristina. I am vey excited with all the new items you will be giving out. I can’t even organize my bag office, or any other place, so I share your opinion; its is really hard being organized especially with a hobby like this. Thanks a lot.:)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmSo wonderful!!! thanks for your generosity!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmWow. Such a huge variety of things that you are purging. You are very generous. My scrap space is still a work in progress. I have to take the time to categorize my papers. Everything else pretty much has a spot to call its own.
I love your videos. I have only recently started watching them, but I am really enjoying them and getting a lot of ideas. Thanks so much for providing such inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmWhat a give-a-way! Like I need more stuff either! Ha! :) Kathy
November 15th, 2009 at 3:40 pmI like to keep product lines and themes together. I use 12×12 celo sleeves to keep like items together and store them all in storage cubes from Target. I love Target! Thanks for sharing your stash with your readers.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmHI!!!!!!!!!!
I see all your vids and they are so cool!!!
All the things you show are fabulous, I LOVE IT!!! So, the way that I stay organized is to have transparent drawers with a label in the front so I can see what I have inside.
In one I have all my stamps sets, including the abc and differents occasions. Next to it another drawer that have all my inks for my stamps by color.
All my scissors are on a carousel for faster access. My sheets are in a large drawer with enough space that can hold 2 columns of sheets. the first 2 drawers are my solid sheets, my desing sheets are in other drawer. I do that because in that way my stuffs are safe.
My buttons are arranged in glass jars by size and color. My flowers are in the same order that my buttons.
I really like to win it because many of the things you show are not available here in Mexico, and I really really like to win all of these so I can do more proyects and share them with you!!!
Thank you very much, do not stop doing vids, they are really fantastic!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmWow! Such a generous giveaway! That is so nice of you. I hope you pick me :) – Thanks Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmWOW!
I want to say the same like Allison :-)
I’m reading your blog nearly everyday and i am fascinated by your ideas. Thank s for sharing them with us!
Cinni
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmThanks for the chance to win that enormous box of goodies. As far as staying organized, I am really no help because my room is worse than yours. I have something in my craft room that I absolutely love, I took some ribbon and strung it from one of my legs to the other leg under my table, and hung a roll of paper towels. Soooo handy and out of the way. And also I cant live without my tool turnaround.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmHi! First of all I want to say that I totally love your work, it is so inspiring (: And it is very kind of you to share ur crafty-goodies with the world :) so thanks for that!
Also, I’m new to the crafts world … so it’s easier for me to organize the materials at the moment. I use the plastic storage units and label (decorate) each drawer for different items, so that it’s easier to locate/sort out. I also recycle old tissue boxes & such to make dividers where I can store my colour pencils, ribbons, etc. I guess less mess! Not much but slowly building up. And I’m loving it so far …so it would be awesome if I do get a chance to win your creative-box … it’ll definitely set me on the right path hahaa!
…no matter. Best Wishes always and keep on sharing and inspiring :o)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pmWOW Thanks so much for the chance at your give away. Have a wonderful week! I look forward to the next video ( I am a total junkie lol)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm=0)
oye! You should clean up more often! tee-hee! I organize by keeping like things together, most used stuff within reach and cleaning up after a project.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pmYou’re the first thing I watch on Mon and Fri’s!
I really like your website and get some really good ideas and it also keeps me inspired to get some cards made. For my stickers, I have drawers labelled for Thanksgiving, Christmas, School,etc, so that when I’m doing that particular page, I just pull out the drawer and see what I have.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pmThanks
Wow – How fantastic are you??!!
I admit I am not that organised, I try and keep most of my stuff in baskets that I can slide in and out of the cupboard. My papers and cardstock are stored upright in no particular order, mounted stamps are in a plastic tub and my unounted and clear stamps are stored in folders.
Thanks for the chance to win…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmWhat an awesome giveaway. I hope you give us a peak at your newly organized room.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmOH MY GOSH…there are so many goodies in your box. You have a GREAT collection of things and such beautiful papers and supplies. I had just sitting enjoying your videos and admiring your work and tutorials, then as I looked for more videos and found your contest. Count me in! As for organizing, I am lucky, I have a husband that is a custom cabinet builder and he made me a cabinet for my papers, supplies and stamps. I love it. Love your videos too.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmWOW … what a giveaway – I’d LOVE to win! As far as advice, I’m NOT one to talk … I need help in the organization department – LOL. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmI try to stay on top of my desk mess, cleaning up a little after each layout. I love my rubbermaid drawers for keeping things organized, it’s my attempt at having a home for everything. Thanks for the opportunity to win, you are too gracious!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:44 pmI try to stay organized but all my scrapbooking, art projects, card making, are scattered throughout my house. I have some at my desk upstairs. In binds by my desk. Both hall closets. Masterbedroom closet. The foldable table downstairs and under my end table by the couch. Too many things to do each day. Been working on a princess room for my daughter and a star wars room for my son so all my stuff is everywhere but neat (some of it at least). Nice vids btw. I collect and collect and find new things to do everyday. Waiting for Xmas to get a new hobby table for my scrapbooking/card making/ art work. Crossing fingers.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:45 pmWow! That’s tons of stuff! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmYou are such a sweetheart, Kristina. I love following your blog here and you on twitter. You keep me inspired.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmI’m terrible at keeping organised! As soon as I start a ‘creation’, everything becomes a great big mess! I do have plastic tubs that I have put labels on for each type of craft product :) I have some filing tubs for my A4 card, and I’m trying to find a good space efficient storage solution for my 12×12 papers…
umm, think I will go and try to reorganise my mess now! hehe
I use my clip it up to keep my supplies organized. I like to be able to see everything I have so I can use it and not just collect it:)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmLove the videos! Thanks for sharing!
One word for how I organize my crafts… IKEA. I use lots of their cabinets, punch rails, plastic bins. etc…. they are cheap, and there is so much variety that you can always find something to fit the bill. Thanks for sharing your left overs!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmI love your stuff and would definitely like to win the box of goodies. I just recently went through an entire clean up of my bakery stuff and posted a blog about it here:
http://bakedbyjoanna.blogspot.com/2009/10/finally-organized.html
With my new setup, I have just been constantly telling myself to clean up as I go with my baking. The thing that I found most helpful was having a garbage bag hanging right next to me to discard stuff as I go.
Thanks for the entry!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmWhat a great idea and it is so nice of you :) I am quite lucky and have my own craft room, but it is often really messy. I have recently bought twenty “Really Useful Boxes” in different sizes and this helped a lot! At least now I can enter the room and not trip over stuff on the ground. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pmWow! How generous of you to give away all that great stuff!!! I try to stay organized with a variety of methods – mostly with boxes from Ikea, cropper hopper paper holders, various rail storage items from Ikea, a closet full of bins and a large expedit shelving unit (also from, you guessed it – Ikea :)).
November 15th, 2009 at 3:47 pmGood luck with the rest of your organization!
So much stuff all great collections. What a wonderful gift .
November 15th, 2009 at 3:47 pmI love to watch how you make the careds, they are great.
For organizing, I use the old technique: divide and conquer. I put everything in boxes divided by cathegory.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmI love watching your video’s, being in the uk we don’t get half as many products as you do in the US, so it’s nice to see Tthedifferent things you are doing, i’ve been following your Holiday Card series and LOVE IT!, keep up the good work, my afternoos would be very boring without me watching you, Thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmSuzan
Hi Kristina,
Thanks for all your awesome videos, especially the 25 days of holiday cards. Thanks also for this generous giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmOMG a scrapbookers dream…you should clean up every week heehe! I love watching your videos!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmThat is so generous of you!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmReally cute stuff!!
Thanks!
Hope I win.. fingers crossed!
besos
Ine
IKEA helps me organize my crafts. I have a big rolling cart with plastic bins that slide in and out. When I’m done crafting, I just roll the cart back in the closet.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmI only wish I could stay organized. I use filing cabinets and a couple of large cabinets that I put all of my craft items in, but I still have to dig through every thing to find what I’m looking for. I would love to win this stash.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmholy moley! this is a TON of stuff! i’d make good use of this. so generous of you to give it away.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmOh Wow!! Thank you so much for the opportunity! Those products are amazing!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmThanks so much for such a generous opportunity….
Currently, I don’t have a large amount of stuff to keep organized, since currently, i am only buying things when i know i’m going to use it right away…. But i have a couple bins scattered throughout the closets in my house… One wooden box even doubles has my husbands night stand ;]…
Thanks for the great tips and ideas!! You’ve definately been inspiration for my Christmas Cards!! Keep it up!!
God bless.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmThis is such an amazing giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I attempt to stay organized by using these drawers I bought from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00078455Q/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p79_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1HZC5R1A7G699C4PKNKN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938131&pf_rd_i=507846 They also have a bigger one (20 drawer), but for now, this is what works for me. I constantly remind myself that my desk needs to be clear and I try my best to clear the area I was working on right away to prevent mess.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmKristina – sometimes my craft room looks just like yours. I can’t begin to be creative until I get it cleaned up. What a generous offer to “purge” for a big give-a-way. Some of the items you use are hard to find around here, so the items would be a welcome addition to my collection of paper and supplies. Thanks for the opportunity.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmHey kristina! this is an amazing giveaway!!!! thanks for the great giveaway…so amazing.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmOMG I would just die to win this there is sooooo much great stuff.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmthank you Karen for the chance to win.
What a fab giveaway.
Well, I try to stay organized but this is normally hampered by my ability to shop and buy new products!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmI’m just starting, I don’t have much stuff but I’m already overwhelmed with how much mess I can make while creating something. I try putting things back to where they belong every week but always fail miserably :-( There are so many things I can do with the stuff you’re giving away…I’ll handle the mess :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmHow do I stay organised – I don’t. I keep paper everywhere, stacking colour sheets and themed sheets where I can see them keeps me inspired and feeds my paper addiction.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmLove the videos, love the inspiration. Also love your addiction to ribbon and gel pens.
Your are always giving of your time and now goodies. Thank you so much.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pmHa…I am glad to know that I am not the only one with some much stuff. IT is hard to keep it all in order…but I think that a little mess makes it fun! Thanks for sharing with us!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pmThis stuff is so cool! You’re so generous to give it away!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pmI would LOVE to win.
I try really hard to use things as soon as I buy them so that I dont have a backlog of stuff, but I’m not always successful at that! ;)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:52 pmWow. What a ton of stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to win all the loot. I try hard to stay organizes by cleaning up my space after each creative endeavor. I have a cheap wire cube shelving system I got at Target yearrrs ago and it holds a great deal of paper. All my embellies are in jars & color coordinated. I try hard to keep like items together.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:52 pmIt must be a purge weekend! I bought some new plastic containers yesterday and spent the morning re-organizing and re-aquainting myself with all my items. My problem is, the more different types of things I buy, the harder it is to remember that I have them!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:52 pmI put collections and their coordinating embellishments/accessories on a binder ring all grouped together, so anything and everything from the collection is grouped together and right at my fingertips!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:52 pmWOW! That’s a great giveaway! I’d LOVE to help take that off your hands :o) For organizing my scrapy/sewing/photograpy room I have lots of shelves, with neat little boxes all alphabetized. It helps me keep up with where I put things :o)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pmWow, thats a lot of stuff you got there, i love your videos.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pmI just started card making this year and I love your video! My three little sons love your video, too!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pmBasically I don’t have too many things to get disorganized yet, but I try to put everything away in the drawers at the end of the day and so far it’s working!
OMG you got some awesome stuff. TFS your awesome goodies
November 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pmHi Kristina! I’m entering your “contest” as I’m in the process of cleaning up my craft room! Ha! I would love to win this just because the range of materials I have access to is pretty limited due to my location and although I know I can purchase items online I usually like to see them first. How do I stay organized?? Lots of shelves and frequent cleaning! I have all of my stamp set alphabetized in their size group and my paper in paper holders with labels…..I’m not much help am I? Oh well….thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas! Dawn
November 15th, 2009 at 3:54 pmWhat fun going through all that product! I’m trying to keep a clean scrapbook room. I’m much more creative in a clean space. Cleaning up as I go seems to help keep the clutter down a little!
I love watching your videos! Your cards are very creative!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:54 pmHey! I have a crazy, hard time trying to keep myself organized. I keep card stock organized by color (and I have scraps in a hanging file). My stamps are in shoe boxes with different colored circles on them (holidays are red, sentiments are yellow, etc). I think the best thing I have, though, is towel bars from Ikea – I hang my punches on them. And they are soooooo cheap! I love it!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmwow… now that is what I call an “awesome giveaway!!!”
For organization I love little jars for “little embellishments” personally I use an old spice rack for it. I also have all my acrylic stamps organized into sturdy little bags and then I label them by name or theme. It is really easy to find that way.
Thank you so much for the chance to win, I love your videos and the video a day has been a wonderful treat.
Gaby
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmI try VERY HARD to finish up supplies before I go and buy new goodies, but obviously that doesn’t work. So the large plastic bin under my desk plus my bookcase for patterned paper and card stock are my friends. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmWow, Christmas is coming early! Thanks for the chance to win so much amazing products.
Being organized is an uphill battle for me. My little crafting space is a tiny bedroom. I use shelving from IKEA & The Container Store. I have a lot of clear plastic bins that I label with my label maker. I just assembled a new IKEA Varde shelf yesterday. I’m storing stamps on it. My ink pads are just stacked on my desk…doesn’t work. My 12×12 paper is in clear boxes too. I need to clear out items that don’t belong here and purge crafting supplies. I have SU! stamps from over 10 years ago!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmI stay (or attempt to stay) organized with those plastic sterlite drawers you can get from Target or Wal-mart. I try to keep a system in those drawers, but things usually just get thrown back in where ever they fit. Right now though… everything is on the floor!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmI love to watch your video’s. You have some great things.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmHoly Cow! That’s some prize package!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:56 pmHow do I stay organized? I don’t have a scraproom, I only have a scrapbox cabinet. It’s wonderful for keeping things organized. Plus, I only hang on to things I can store inside. Now… I’m not saying the doors always get closed at the end of the day…
I just love your cards. you are so inspirational to me. I thank you for the time you put into your projects. Oh and about being organized…well, I’m still working on that. :(. I cab say that it’s all in one room. :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:56 pmWOW what a great giveaway! My favourite organization products are my IKEA alex drawers and my BIG expedite bookcase with lots of baskets :D the alex drawers are great for single stamps and SU punches and all my other stamp sets, PP, CS, bigshot and dies go in the bookcase. Eventually i want an actual stamp room but for now this gives a nice organized look in my bedroom.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:56 pmMy husband bought me two very cool craft desks, with drawers on each side, which I use for brads, stickers, letters, chipboard, journaling spots, ink, punches. I have a cabinet to store blank cards, photo paper, photo ink… Then two desk height bookcases that I use for album storage, larger photo paper, scrapbook paper. I clean out pretty regularly and donate to my LSS that then passes it along to a teen girl’s group home. I don’t always have the most current stuff, but my junk is someone else’s treasure I hope.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:57 pmI love your videos and blogs :D they’re so inspiring! I hope I can win the goodies :) I have folders boxes and drawers were I keep all my supplies. It works pretty well for me :D
November 15th, 2009 at 3:57 pmPlease Pick me!!! You are so Generous!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmWOW! I would love to have all the stuff!!! Seriously I will really appreciate all the stuff!!!!!
I always Watch Your videos and inspired me all the time!!!!
Thank you So much for sharing all your talent!!!!!
I have a hard time organizing because I’d rather spend my money on products… I’m to the point I am pretty well buried in scrapbooking gear and stamps. I bought a bookshelf from Target and canvas totes. It’s a great way for my room to look nice because it hides away all that is in the shelf. (cough, no books, though) I have some sorters and other things, but they are all exploding because I haven’t gotten enough storage gear to hold stuff. We are building a house currently and I can’t wait to have a room that will house my crafting things. I desperately NEED the closet space. I love re-discovering things I bought that I previously forgot :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmI LOVE your site and your cards definitely inspire me! Keep up all the wonderful work!
OMG! To answer the part about how I keep organized – I don’t! lol, my craft room looks a LOT like yours, except that I don’t have that much craft products :)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmwell, I’d love win! and btw – LOVE your videos and I even link to them from my blog from time to time :)
WOW—thats alotta stuff in that there box–i hope i win it ALL–i love your blog and can’t get enuff of your videos–love ya gurl!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmHi Kristina,
Man, you’ve been busy. I logged on this morning and have found 4 videos to watch! Wow. How do I stay organised? I clean up all the time – throw the rubbish, put stuff away etc. And keep like things together (you never know how much glue you have until you put all your bottles in one place!).
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmReally loving your videos – thanks so much,
Debra
Australia
Oh wow this will be like Christmas coming early for someone! Thanks Kristina for the chance to win the fantastic goodies.
If you could see the chaos in my craft space you would know I have no organizational tips to pass on!! So I’m going to read through all the comments to see what I can learn! Thanks again.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmStaying organized is always a task. I honestly just try to put everything back in its proper place when I am done!! BTW, I am so loving the 25 days of Christmas Card videos. Thank you for inspiring me Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmoh yeah–i try my best to keep my room organized–by using crates, boxes and luggage–yes luggage–good tips to use one day on your blog—
November 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pmWow! That is a great christmas gift, will you be my Santa? :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pmNow, about organizing, I keep all my staff in drawers next to my crafting table and I keep a few items that I use all the time on a shelf right next to my table in a Croppin’ Cutie Catch All.
I also try not to leave things on my table and keep it relatively clean when I’m done crafting (most of the time).
As for paper scraps and leftovers, I store them in plastic envelopes according to color so it is easy to find a piece to match a card or layout.
Oh and I just made a binder for my nestabillities using chipboard for the covers and plastic cd envelopes, it really is a space saver!
Well i am in the process of organization as well. I am using huge tubberwear tubs for now until i can get a craft room all to myself. I also use small tubberwear and separate into categories. I would love to win some of these goodies. =)
November 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pmHi! What a fantastic give away! :D
I really don’t organize very well..My stuff is everywhere, mostly on the whole floor and furniture. I want to see everything but have no other solution than spread it all over the room *lol*
Before every project I have to clean up a bit, though, so I try to sort it up a bit at least.
/Tinto
November 15th, 2009 at 4:00 pmK what a gal you are!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:00 pmI am hooked on your site. I have to check it out daily!
Repeatedly until I get to see your “new” video. So I am so loving all the Christmas cards.
I try and stay organized by having a “place” for everything and putting it back there every time. Notice I said try. I also group things by what they are and some things by color- mostly my paper.
Thanks for the chance to WIN some of your overflow of fabulous stuff.
Oh, my! That’s a lot of goodies. How generous of you. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming and I’ll be watching…
November 15th, 2009 at 4:00 pmThanks for the chance to win.
Oh wow! What an awesome and generous giveaway. I love all your work and whether I win these items or not, I’m still ahead with all that I’ve learned and been able to work into my own scrappin’ from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:01 pmMy husband give me an organizer that he used in his garage (well, I kind of hinted that I really, really wanted it!) It has 15 drawers and I organize all my small embellishments by color. Also, I have Making Memories shelf and tool holder. Like you, I try to go through my supplies often, because it overwhelms you sometimes.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:01 pmHello and one huge hug of thanks for all the great inspiration. I feel as though you are a real friend! Organization is my middle name! I think the biggest thing I have learned is not to spend time making cute permanent labels for my containers…..as my tastes change, so do my supplies and I am always moving things into larger or smaller containers and making new labels. Now I am heavily into glitter – I wear it all the time! Thanks so much!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pmHey Kristina- continuous purging is always good but I hord paper. I got married this summer and when i moved in with my husband I did a really big purge, i was ruthless but I have started to hord again so I am making most of my Christmas gifts this year (again) and I am using my stash- no buying new stuff. I am also participating in 2 swaps and i won’t let myself buy anything new except ribbon (don’t have enough of that to make 20 cards). Thanks for sharing the wealth. Kat
November 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmWow, how fun! Thanks Kristina! I keep my papers organized in hanging files and then all my Copics are stored in a little desktop cubbie type thing. Haha – so technical! Thanks for the opportunity to win some fabulous freebies!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmI love your card videos. I can’t wait for Monday’s and Fridays to roll around. LOL
November 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmI use a hanging shoe organizer to keep my border punches in.
Keeping my fingers crossed…
I “appear” to be organized to others but I’m really not!! haha! For me, organization comes and goes in waves and right now I’m in a cleaning phase, probably to get ready for the holidays. Anyway, I love your blog…cards…videos…EVERYTHING!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmWow this is an awesome giveaway thank you for the links on all these things. You are such an inspiration with you cards on MOnday and Friday I love them , and I know these givieaways are like gambling with the random # thing but I cant help but play along thanks for the chance to win I would love to give that box a new home:)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:04 pmYour video’s are so inspiring and brings a smile to my face. This hobby is truly the best for the heart and soul. The happiness i bring to my recipients warms me immensely. IT is SO “better to give than to receive”. Thanks for all your efforts and creativeness!!! :)
How i stay organized – my husband built me shelves in my craft room, but that was before i moved (last week). Now, everything is in boxes and in a few weeks time i will have my new shelves. Each shelf will contain a spot for each type of embellishment (glitter, stickers, brads/flowers). I also have baskets and 12×12 boxes for paper, but hope to get a file system in shortly. Shelves and baskets really help so you don’t forget what you have and you can see everything without too much sifting. Not being organized actually helps you remember what you have b/c you have to look through everything to find what you need. LOL!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:04 pmTake care!
To stay organized, I spend a lot of time (& money) at IKEA! It works for me! I can’t stand clutter :-) Thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:04 pmWOW Kristina!!! What a generus giveaway! THANK YOU so much for the chance to win…
The way I stay organized is by having a place for each and every scrappy thing I own, and by putting things in their spots (or creating a new spot) as soon as I buy them. That way, I can keep myself from getting overwhelmed by product (most of the time, lol). It’s working so far!
Thanks again. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pm- April
I don’t have a lot of tool or paper so it’s easy for me to organize. I just put paper on my shelf, tools, stamp and rubbon in a box :). After i use them, I put all that stuff in that box. Thank you so much for this giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pmSkatchamagowza that’s a lot of stuff! I attempt to organize myself by going through it all every few months. But really that just gets me to feel guilty about all the stuff I buy and don’t use. It’s really good inspiration for a few weeks as I will usually find some long-neglected item and challenge myself to use it. And I do make a point of choosing some stuff to get rid of, too. Also, as I craft, I put paper scraps aside to give to the kindergarten classes where I teach–the kids love my leftovers for their art projects. –Elena
November 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pmWOW O.O! That’s a lot of stuff! Thank you for the opportunity to win your giveaway! I love watching your Holiday Series videos that come up each day =D ♥!~
November 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pmOMG I am so happy to help ypu clean up your scraproom I can sacrifice myself and take that load of goodies , lol can you belive I only have 2 of the collection you show , girl thanksa lot for sharing your goodies
November 15th, 2009 at 4:06 pmWow, what an amazing giveaway! I am not completely organized in my craftroom, but one thing I do with my solid color 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock is keep it in a file drawer, there is a manilla folder in with each color that I keep that colors scraps in. I try to keep everything else labeled with my label maker.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:06 pmI can relate to you cleaning out as I am having to do the same thing. My middle son who graduated from college this past August is moving back home so needless to say I have to get my stuff out of his room. I have been donating several of the craft items I no longer use to the nursing home my mother lives in. They are thrilled to be able to get new craft items. You are very generous to give away so much. I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for a chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:06 pmYea!! I must say I love your work and your videos are just FAB, I stay org in my craft area with multi drawers 12×12 and each is label with contents, my papers are placed in like groups(holidays,persons,animals, etc) same for my stickers and even my paper scraps are in groups and pocket folders, just that everything is label in my craft room and at the end of my craft time it all goes away
November 15th, 2009 at 4:07 pmOh my goodness! Any giveaway from you has got to be fantastic. What great Christmas gift this would be. I hope I hope!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:07 pmI guess my organization is having lots of shelves/drawers for each type of thing. Does not always work, but always helps.
Hi Karen! You are very very very generous!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:07 pmIn my scraproom the disorder it reigns but I always succeed in finding what needs me… rather if I put everything to place I don’t remember where I have put the things and I don’t find anything.
I hope to be fortunate and to win the big package.
Hugs from Italy – Rome
I try to stay organized by keeping supplies together by theme, such as winter, Christmas, birthday, etc. But I keep new things out so I can remember to use them! I can’t believe you can purge so much! If I look at it twice, I can think of a reason to keep it!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:07 pmI love your website!
Well,….Let’s see-How do I stay organized.. hmmmm??
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmI think probably my biggest organizational tip is to clean up after each project, so whether I’m scrappin or making cards, I always clean up my work space before moving on to the next thing.. It makes coming back to my space a lot more fun..
ps. I hope I will, I love new stuff, especially when it’s FREE…. :)))))))))))))
Have a Good one!
Wow, it’s really a huge pile of wonderful stuff …; my things are packed a little’ here a little ‘there … but I think I could endure another mess!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmI love your style and card ideas. I enjoy your whimsical style. I make piles to stay organized. To anticipate an up coming holidayor season, I will pull out stamps/embellishments that could be used to make a card. This give me time to think of ideas or color combinations. Thx
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmOh my goodness! I would love to have all of that stuff! Your so kind for giving it away! I’m just starting to really get into scrapbooking and stuff and I don’t really have a lot of supplies. But I watch all your videos on Youtube and thats how I saw this. Thanks!
EDITED TO ADD: Hello! I left a comment earlier but I forgot to mention how I stay organized. Well like I said I don’t have that much stuff but I have this cart that I got from Target for like 20 bucks and it has seven like shelves but they’re like individual bins so all of the shelves have lids. They are also just big enough to fit scrapbooking paper in. I’ve labeled all of the shelves so I’m pretty organized. I hope this helps haha. Well any ways I think it would be so cool to win something like this. I watch all your videos on Youtube and I’m a big fan. Plus I’m going to make my own Christmas cards this year and I send a ton to family and friends so I need all the stuff I can get! Thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmOMG,I watch your Holiday Card series and saw what you were giving away..I can’t beleive it, most of your stuff looks new..I would love to win it even just a little of what you have I would be happy to have, it would be like Christmas.. When I was ready to post I saw you have over a hundred post all ready, do I even a chance?
I’ll be looking in my mail just incase,I get lucky.
Karen Erickson
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmHow I stay organized….easy…I’m a neat freak. I purge a lot and I have a place for everything. Everything gets put away….really (ok not all the time but pretty regularly!) Love your blog and inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmGreat videos! You have a huge fan in Mexico!! Me!!!.
I would love to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmHi
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmI have my space organised so that all my stamps are together in the bookcase, my papers under a small table and my punches and xmas bits in a cupboard. I TRY to keep my desk clear,but I’m not very successful with that! lol thankyou so much for being so generous with your time making all your fabulous videos and now offering sooo much in a giveaway.
I stay organized (kinda) by giving all my scraps and extras to my 5 year old daughter. Thanks for the videos, my girl and I love to watch them together :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmWow! Some of the stuff that’s in the box I could never part with. I’m sort of a hoarder! I’ve had my eye on the MM Mistletoe card collection. Soooo cute! LOVE those cards! You are just too sweet to do this for the lucky winner! Blessings!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmWow, you are sure cleaning out! I love it! I try to keep organized by cleaning up my supplies after the completion of every project, that way I am not hunting for things that I need that end up buried under a pile of stuff! And I find it helps me focus better and be more creative if I am organized. It helps that I have a room to keep my supplies in and don’t have to put everything away all the time as well. Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmWow! I don’t really stay very organized. I never get to the point where everything has a place to go, so it just ends up getting piled around.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:09 pmLove your blog and videos….So glad I don’t have to clean up that craft room! Daunting!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:10 pmLove your extras! I label ALL my containers. I try to clean up after every big project–I try to start each new project on a CLEAN desk. I sort cardstock by color in drawers (sterlite); patterned paper by color (on vertical dividers); scraps by color in folders; ribbon by color. Embellishments are sorted by type–brads, flowers, metal, chipboard, etc. I also have sewing, knitting, beading, etc supplies that are also stored/labeled in my craft room.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:10 pmhi, Kristina:
You are sooooo creative! and your videos are so inspiring. thanks for the opportunity to win.
XOXO. Eileen…
November 15th, 2009 at 4:10 pmWhaaaaaaat?! You are giving away CHESTNUT ROAN?! Just playin’ – but I do love your videos and I’m subscribed to them at youtube. I’m loving the card series you are doing currently!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:10 pmWOW! I wish i win…i never win anything on blogs…but hey who knows.
Kristina – you are the best. I look forward to your contributions to the card making knowledge base every day (right now because of your own challenge) and every Friday and Monday.
thanks for sharing all of your Overage! I think is is very generous and kind of you!
Hope your scrap room looks neater for all of your efforts!
Happy Sunday,
November 15th, 2009 at 4:10 pmJo
I have this 3 tier metal rack that I designated for all my scrapbook related stuff. I buy those $1 bins to separate and organize stuffs. I don’t have that many (I’m still kinda new) so storing them is easy for me. They don’t take up much space too. And I put away stuffs as soon as I buy them. Every little thing has its own little spot or bin. =)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:11 pmHi Ms. K.
Just heard the great news about the giveaway. You really are an Angel for deciding to share all your goodies with a random winner. Whoever wins will truly have an extra special Christmas. I pray that God blesses you 100-fold for the generous act of kindness.
Love,
Damaris

OOPsie, forgot to say how I keep organized.
I usually always clean up after I make a card/page. The easy part is maintaining what I already have in my cubes, shelves, desk, etc. The hard part is getting new items and finding where to place them. I’m lucky to use my home office as a craft room. You can see my video on youtube. It’s been updated since to accommodate new items and wall hangings, but the same for the most part!! Thanks!
I like to think of myself as organized, just sometimes things get away from me. :) I do like to look others ideas, and maybe get a little nugget. Thanks for the inpsiration!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:11 pmJenni King
Thank you so much for your videos. I love all of them. I wish you would put out a DVD of tutorials, because I would buy them for me and for my craft friends and family members. P.S.: I would love to win these goodies of yours. Thanks, and keep up the great work. Monica:)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:11 pmI have to say I can only try to be organized. Right now I am working at getting the years of awards, school pictures and etc organized and out of the drawers to store my supplies in. There is no possible way I can scrap an event right now with things all over the place. So I have had both kids make up a bankers box file with the year on it. We are currently dividing things out by child and by year or family and year. After the year is complete I think that dividing out by event should be failry easy. So far I have 6 drawers I have labeled and only those things like for example scissors can go into that drawer. Embossing is another label.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:11 pmThank you for taking the time to make all of your wonderful videos! How great you are to have such a fantastic give away! I’m crossing my fingers!! Mary >;<
November 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmOdonataCreations@hvc.rr.com
In the Netherlands we LOVE Ikea for storage solutions! Because it’s really cheap, we have more money to spend on scrap goodies!
I hope that this box will end up in the Netherlands, this mommy would be very happy!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmGoodness, this is a jackpot giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win :)
My craft room is more like a craft office. I have clear plastic file folder holders on the wall with my paper in them so all I have to do is stand up and see the colors from the top and sides. I have all my colored pencils standing in flower pots at the edge of my desk so they are within reach. My ink pads are on a shelf right next to my desk at eye level so I can reach over and get what I need. I inked a white sicker and put it on the end of the ink pads so I can see exactly what color ink it is. This could be the best idea I had because I have to do less test stamping to see the color. All my rolls of ribbon are on 5 long skinny wood dowels held up on hooks. I used to have all my ribbon in a plastic bin, but this works better because I can just look at the wall of ribbon to see what I have. My stamps are in an old dresser. Not the most effective method of storage :-/ I still have not managed to come up with a better storage option for them. Any suggestions are welcome :)
Thanks, Kristina ~ I enjoy your blog and videos very much!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmwow! love all the goodies!!!! awesome idea!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmWould love to win all of your castoffs. Since you had all of this stuff maybe some of your creativity will sneak into the box too!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmWow! How generous you are! I would love to give that box of supplies a new home in my scraproom! I try to keep organized by using a bin system for most themed things, and also by color. This seems to work best for me!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:13 pmHi Kristina,
WOW WOW WOW!!!! This is so awesome of you to give your products away but i totally understand when rooms get overwhelmed with stuff. Im a mom and a student so i must be extrememly organized especially with my time so i can scrapbook and make cards. I hang 90% of my stuff on my walls it just works for me I also try to keep generic stuff over having things in many colors which lets me personalize my stuff. But since im so busy i have’nt been able to get new stuff in such a long time and receiving this would be sooooo awesome. Love your videos and the blog. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:13 pmWow! I just want to be able to say I’m working with Kristina Werner’s castoffs, LOL! My attempts to get organized so far this year? developing the basement, purchasing a u-shaped desk, rails for my punches, 2 bookshelves for my “stuff” and a wall-mounted organizer for some of those little things (to keep them far away from the nearly-2-year-old!). Staying organized…hmmm…ask me in another year or so!
Thanks for the chance to win such a fab pile of goodies!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:13 pmwoww. so many papers & goodies! epic giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:14 pmWow, Kristina, this is a generous giveaway! Staying organized is an ongoing journey for me. I do keep collections in bags or plastic envelopes, which helps a lot, and I tend to keep embellishments in boxes/baskets according to type. I’m still learning! : )
Melissa
November 15th, 2009 at 4:14 pmLove your work – it is such an inspiration!!! And you are a generous person to give your “stuff” away.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:15 pmGreat stash! I’m pretty bad when it comes to organizing. Right now I’m taking up a corner of the living room so I have things in boxes. In the middle of building a craft space in the basement so that I can finally become properly organized!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:15 pmWow! What a giveaway! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win it! The way I TRY to stay organized is to put away as I am done! BUT it doesn’t always happen! LOL! Thanks for being sooooo generous! I love your site and learn so much! Thanks for being such an inspiration!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:16 pmSo many goodies, sounds absolutely delightful =).
November 15th, 2009 at 4:16 pmI don’t know the meaning of the word ‘Tidy’…anymore….believe me I try,and when I blitz my tiny craft space I can’t find anything…lol….love your ideas,you bring a breath of fresh air to crafting,and finally,I would LOVE to win any of your stash..hugs Janette.x
November 15th, 2009 at 4:16 pmI don’t have that many craft supplies yet, they are all stored in a plastic storage bin, I would love to win the giveaway….
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmOh…I am sooo in love w/ Basic Grey!! And I have been searching for the Fancy Pants kit!! I am crossing my toes and fingers and eyes and legs and arms and….well, you get the drift… Thank you so much for the opportunity to win the box of goodies!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmI try to stay organized by going through my scrap room bi annually and getting rid of stuff that I do not want any longer and giving it away to a garage sale we have at our LSS.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmWOWZA! Are you kidding me?!?!?! Organizing is my most favorite thing to do! I’m not joking! I have 7 kids and there is no way my house will ever STAY organized. BUT my scraproom is ALWAYS neat and clean. After every project I put everything away. As I do each project I will take out things that I know I won’t use and bring them to work. I work with special needs children and like to do scrapbooks of their school year with them. So the key is to purge regularly and put it away!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmIs it really possible to get organized? I just did some cleaning of my space and I hope to find things later. I have a tendancy to put things is a safe place and not find it again forever.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmThanks for chance at goodies.
Hi Kristina! Wow! thanks for giving us the chance to win!
my key for organization = IKEA. LOVE that store!!
thanks again!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pm-Kerry
wowza! seriously, you are just too kind!
i “try” to keep organized using those rubber maid drawers on wheels and lots and lots small storage boxes which i label on front and stack on ikea’s billy bookshelves.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:17 pmWell, I just keep piling things on top of my craft table until it is impossible to work on it, and then clean it all up. A friend of mine recommended your blog to me yesterday- I look forward to lots of new inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:18 pmMy first tool in staying organized, making sure I monitor how much product my mom buys.. haha
We have photo boxes in our “office” closet to break down office supplies/equipment. And organizational cubes that we bought at Michael’s to separate the papers/embellishments/stamps/clear stamps/adhesives/etc.. which I go through frequently to make sure everything is in the right place.
A strict – one project at a time policy has led to much more cleaning occurring more frequently since we both like to jump from scrapbooking to card making to beading to painting, etc..
having designated work areas has helped qualm some of the frustration felt by my step-father with our craftiness. Since the three of us share our “office” we each have a designated quarter of our huge worktable (with one quarter being left for the printer and mail) which helps us keep our stuff in our sections and no one else gets encroached upon.
It also helps that my step-father converted an old chicken coop, in our back yard, into a craft room, so all of our extras or over the limit items can be hidden out there.. :D
November 15th, 2009 at 4:18 pmWow, thanks for sharing your leftovers! What I do to stay organized is once I’m done with a certain collection of papers, I take out the solids and put them with the rest of my solid cardstocks and then either give away the patterned DP I no longer need or put them in a card making pile. I scrap first, then make cards with the leftovers!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:18 pmI wouldn’t say I am actually organised, my stash is stored invarious plastic containers. My crafting is done in my living room, so everything lives in a cupboard. But the funny thing is every 2 years or so I find a better storage container, so am now in love with Really Useful Boxes: they easily store 12×12 paper ans stack away. Plus they come in really cuty itty bitty sizes for those little things like glitter.
Would love to add to my collection, and thanks for the Christmas inspiration over the past weeks.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmWow, this would be like winning the lottery! I try to stay organized by not buying everything is sight. Just what I need at the moment…less stuff, less clutter.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmO: Those look so cute! I haven’t scrapbooked or made cards but I’ve been considering it for a while, especially with Christmas coming up but I haven’t had to money to amass any of the materials. *crosses fingers* I hope I win!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmHey girl your giving away a load of stuff…. god bless you for being so giving…the holidays are sure around the corner !!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmwow, what a haul. That would be a great starter kit for someone just beginning. My sister and her daughter just started scrapping – that would be something awesome for them. You are so generous to share so much. I would love to win that and introduce my sister to so many great products.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmHow exciting! I’m new to scraping so this would more than double my stash. So far I can organize everything into one draw. But I don’t think that will last for long! ;)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pmI stay organized by keeping the stuff I use constantly out on my table all the time, and sorting everything else into drawers and onto shelves and I try to clean up after every major project. This doesn’t often happen, but I try!
Thanks for the chance to win all of these great goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pmHi Kristina!! All your projects are awesome and so are the goodies you are giving away. The only way I can stay organized is to put whatever I’m using away after I use it. Otherwise, you end up with a huge pile!! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pmwow what a give away!!! it has been over a year sence i have been able to order anything!!! no ink no paper no ribbon!!!! and on stamps it is starting to make stamping really boring!! i love your simple style and thanks for the chance to win!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:21 pmHello Kristina!
Wow can’t believe how much lovely stuff you are giving away!! I am new to the card making/scrap booking world and wish I had a craft room and as many supplies as you!
Thanks
Grace
November 15th, 2009 at 4:22 pmWow! I would die if I win all this stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:22 pmLove your videos!
I’d love to help you clean out some stuff!! What a prize!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmI like to search antique stores for clear gadgets to store my gadgets! Those vintage finds are great for buttons and brads, and pretty to boot.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmWhat an awesome giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmI stay organized by putting away everything almost immediately after using it! It’s the only way for me!
I use paper holders for paper and small little on-top-of-desk drawers for stamps and such. :)
Wow, what a giveaway! I always look forward to your videos and I am especially loving your holiday card series.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmI have lots of plastic containers of all sizes that are labeled on the end so I know exactly whats inside.
Thanks for sharig you “left overs”
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmKristina,
I love your projects and what a awsome giveaway!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmOh wow I live in England , but 100 percent American , i only but dream of getting my hands on American products ,I so love your videos and teaching ,I would so be but honored to receive this lovely box of goodies , its been along time that i have gotten my hands on us scrapping stuff , The last time i got stuff was when i had to fly home last April due to my moms health ,and i couldn’t get my hands on very much partly because i couldn’t get it all home lol and partly I ran out of cash , I so pine for My homeland scrapping Stuff, England has some lovely scrapping stuff , but nothing like the USA , you always give me inspiration i would be so thrilled to get this it would so make my day , oh heck year !!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:23 pmlots of love
Sasha xx
WOW !! Christmas in Nov. !!!!(who needs Santa if they win this) lol
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmI try to keep tihngs picked up after each time I scrap. Otherwise it gets out of control. I need to do a major cleaning out as well.
Wow You are giving away a huge lot. I am what you would call a stalker on your blog:) I love your creations and am trying to find the time to comment more on the blogs I go to a lot (yours being one of them;) Thanks for the chance at a giveaway. I declutter all the time and giveaway to my mum and friends or I put it on ebay. Good luck with keeping it organised:)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmHuge giveaway!! That is simply AWESOME, I’ve never won any giveaways on Youtube (or anywhere else) but I really hope I get a chance at this one… so much stuff…
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmPLUS, I live for Mondays (MACM) and Fridays (Finally Friday) for your new videos. I really like your style, you’re a great inspiration for me. AND that whole giveaway box is all “your style”… LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
To stay organize, I grab any Ikea box, Michael’s basket, plastic clear drawer organizers, tupperware, shelves, ikea cheap furniture/shelving unit… put my stuffiin it and label it and decorate baskets and boxes with card making scraps. Nothing matches, everything is different, but I love it, it’s quite charming!
I think my main organizational successful tip is to always put the same things at the same places, and ALWAYS clean everything up when you’re done the cards for that day. As much as I hate it, I always clean, organize and get rid of stuff as I go…, everyday. So it never piles up and I always find my stuff. Voila!
I hope to win… this would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emilie xox
Wow!!!! That is an amazing give away!! Would love to win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmThanks
I want to say something witty, lol, but all my brain keeps thinking is “OMG”! lol. I think there is more stuff in that box than I even OWN! lol Super awesome of you to give all that away. Whoever wins is getting one heck of a Christmas present! =)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmI’m not really good in staying organized. It’s in my DNA! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmThis huge Give away looks fabulous! Thanks for beeing so generous!
I wish I could get (and stay) organized. I don’t have a big enough room for everything I have. I have two large folding tables (a third on in a second room) and two of the triple paper shelves and drawers from Best Storage(?). Lots and lots of the plastic storage bins from WalMart, etc. I love everything you do! Thanks for sharing your lovely talent with us.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pmMy confession- I have a thing for CoNtAiNeRs!!!! I like to have “a place for everything and everything in its place” (my mother’s favorite saying!). I like my little glass bottles for buttons and ribbon and glitter…. my chipboard drawer, my acrylic block drawer, my flower jar…. you get the idea! I’m sure I could manage to find a place for these new goodies!!! =) Thanks for sharing your stash! You’re soooo nice!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmhello kristina.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmwell m really glad ur doing the giveaway…i love scrapbooking, but i dont have loads of things for it since they are veryyy expensive in s’pore. but i have bought a few and i try to find cheap ways of organizing. i organize all my chipboards and die cuts by using those small boxes which u probably get after buying a mobile phone and all. since i have loads of them at home. i do not choose to keep them in ziplog bags since i notice tht it affects the diecuts cuz they get bent. also if u keep them in a box it is alot easier to see and pick it rite away then using the bags. so when i keep them in those small boxes i use a permanent marker and label them. nothing fancy. then i store my plastic flowers and embellishments in a small plastic jar which has a wide opening so its easier to pick. u can use a box but i choose glass or plastic jars cuz they look alot neater and prettier even if u just keep them on ur table.thts just wht i like to go for..something tht is useful plus pretty to look at. i dont noe why. ok then the patterned papers. i keep them in those big carboard file holders cuz my dad has a bunch of them in his office. its a big one so i stored all of my papers in it. its a really cheap way. thts wht i think. i also have loads and loads of pens and markers. so wht i did is to use those really big drinking cups (but pretty ones :) ) and dumped all my pens in it and its always on my table. tht way i never lose any of them.i also have a few punches and ribbons which i just keep in a plastic box. and all of these things are kept neatly on my craft table in my bedroom. the stamps here are really expensive, so i dont have them. so i cant tell u how to organize it. but yea thts how i organize most of them and i really hope that u found this helpful. thank you for this mini contest. it has so many goodies which i probably wont be able to buy even aftr saving up my pocket money for a year.lol. i dont noe if il win but im glad u gave us the opportunity to try. :)
tanya
Thank for the chance to win some goodies. I try to stay organized by putting things away when I am done with them. I also go through my stuff often and purge the stuff I am not using anymore.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmOMG that is one of the largest giveways, you are so generous. I love your blog and videos.
I just organized all my scrapbooking things and just need batteries for my label maker to complete it.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmwow! what a haul! you’ve been busy. i keep organized with pencil boxes for small stamps, tin cans for pens/pencils/tools and flat boxes for paper. all stored in IKEA shelving!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmWOW, LOVE giveaways! :) I would love anything to freshen up my stuff and get me crafting!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmWOW, LOVE giveaways! :) I would love anything to freshen up my stuff and get me crafting!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmWow, what an awesome giveaway!!! I love love love your videos!!! For my storage, I installed a set of floor to ceiling shelves and then bought photo boxs at the dollar store and labeled them accordingly…stickers, rubons, ribbon scraps, adhesives, etc… I also bought several of the paper storage boxes that look like magazine boxes and have one for paper scraps and then divide my loose papers between boxes according to designer.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:26 pmI love all your cards! I look forward to seeing them!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:26 pmI redid my scrap room a couple months ago and I love It! I’ve got shelveing units and a big L-shaped desk. The only way I can stay organized is b/c of all the I have.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:26 pmI keep as much of my “use daily” stuff in a tote as I can – then it is easy to haul to crops or classes. And I wish I had wall space to hang stuff as well – like my punches.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:27 pmI love all your videos!!! You give me such great ideas! Thanks
November 15th, 2009 at 4:27 pmYour videos and tips are awesome. I love that your style is so hip and trendy, makes it so much fun for the college aged scrappers out there like me! Thanks for all your videos, free advice from scrappers is hard to come by when you dont have a crop group to go to. So thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:27 pm-Anjli
i’ve just discovered you and your wonderful videos. i’m addicted to your videos like crack. thanks for the chance to win ur goodies!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:28 pmI don’t really have a way to stay organize but I keep each project in different kraft box…
November 15th, 2009 at 4:28 pmI’ve a question can you tell me a good white paper for stamping?… in France I can only found Bazzil and its textured:( I’m always to flip it over to work on smooth side!
Thanks for all… you inspire me!
What a cool thing to do! I’d love to win that goodie box! ;) Thanks for the chance! As for staying organized – I’m all about “everything has its place” and so I always put things back after I use them and have different areas in my room for stuff. I love to label things, too! Heehee! Thanks, Kristina! :-D
November 15th, 2009 at 4:28 pmI attempt to stay organized by labeling all of my cubbies and drawers…if they are not labeled, I just throw stuff everywhere!
Thanks for the giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:28 pmWow!
I can’t believe in what I’m seeing!
Loved your box!
I’m not very organized, but I try! I put everything I use in their places. For this I use drawers, shelves and boxes.
I’m from Brazil. Can I participate of this giveaway?
Dani.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:30 pmStaying organized is not my best suit. I keep buying things only to find that I have one already. I really need to do better.
Thanks for the opportunity to win
November 15th, 2009 at 4:30 pmI love watching your video’s. It gives me so many ideas that i use when i make cards for my ministry. I would love you win your giveaway. I could use them for my ministry.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pmOnce again. You are So much an inspiration to me.
hi there! what an awesome way to share–especially during these tough financial times and the upcoming holiday season. i stay organized with fishing tackle boxes that have lots of compartments. i have about eight or so boxes, each labeled with the contents. i also use divided bill-keeping files for paper and flat items. then i label each section’s contents on the tab at the top. for me, it is very important to keep my things labeled, so i can find them easily in the future. thanks for all your great videos and terrific inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pmUgh – I don’t! My craft room is a disaster. I try but I am very visual so it all ends up in a mess! But I could always use some new swag to inspire me!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pmWhat an awesome giveaway!! I hope I win it, but good luck to everyone!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pmI’m a hoarder and my daughter is a neat freak but thankfully she shares my passion for scrapbooking as well. She would usually put away things I’ve bought and keep the craft area tidy. She has a pretty good system going. Everything is stored in their own bins or drawers and labeled so I could pretty much find them again.
We get most of our furniture at garage sales. Need to save those greens on scrapbook products instead.
Fingers crossed.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:32 pmWOW, that’s really nice of you to give from you heart. I would love to win…so many beautiful sets of paper.
I have a small craft room, and I prefer to keep it clean. Sewing machine on one side, pens, embellies, paper, etc. All my products are labeled, or color coordinated. Dymo Letratag comes in handy :).
Good luck to everyone!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:32 pmI just love your blog and I visit it everyday. I don’t have a scraproom, so staying oganized is important. I have a few shelves on one bookcase that I use for my small scrap stash. I put everthing away after scrapping in iris boxes. They are easy to stack and I can see what’s inside them. Your box of goodies would be an amazing thing to win. Thanks for the chance!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pmHoly Toledo Girlie!! When you purge you purge!! Thanks for the chance of winning. Really enjoying all your holiday card ideas!! Thanks again!! Sue
November 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pmI constantly reorganize my stuff, I Iove to find good storage solutions. I need to see what I got, so that I don’t forget about it. I keep my newest items in a metal-tin on my workdesk – ready to use.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pmHi there!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pmThanks for the awsome chance to win more stuff!
I have more of an ogranic organisation, I find my way through all my stuff but no one else can!
I love your christmas series, keep up the good work!
Wow! I need to clean up my scrap area…do you wanna come help?! lol I’m planning on getting it all organized and keeping it that way! Love your videos by the way!
Dawn-Marie
November 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pmWow, wouldn’t this be a super gift to receive!!! Thanks for the chance.
As for me staying organized, I evidently don’t because it seems I am forever reorganizing things. The one thing I do use are those photo boxes from Joann’s that go on sale all the time for about $2. I sort things in those and label the front and can stack them on shelves.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pmI have a shelves from Ikea that are full of paper, then some with stamps and ink. I also have a few drawers full of elements. On my desk I keep everything that I want to use and my sewing machine.
I really do need to go through everything and see what I am not using! I bet there is some stuff in my room that I forgot about.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pmHow fantastic??? There’s a veritable paradise in a cardboard box, there, Kristina. Currently, my organisation (or lack of it..) is through a series of cardboard storage boxes, although my hubby has just bought me a fabulous metal garage storage on wheels (usually for screwdrivers, etc.). I’m busy trying to fill it up! Thanks for the opportunity to win.x :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pmYou are so generous krista and soo creative!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pmKeep up the goods!!
Your “junk” is a lot nicer than mine! I admire the fact you can stay so organized…good for you! What a great giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pmHi Kristina,
I should start with, I love your blog! I’ve been a fan for a while and I still miss the music you used to play during your Make a Card Monday videos. But I’m getting over it! Thanks for the Christmas music on your last video. It really got me in the mood! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I get lucky and win your AWESOME give away!
Thanks for the chance to win,
November 15th, 2009 at 4:35 pmMiriam from CA
WOW!!!
I keep a Three ring binder that has a sample of each of my stamp sets. It helps when I’m thinking of a certain stamp, but can’t remember where it located. I have a limited amount of space, so everything is labeled and grouped according to what it is.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:35 pmOHH WOW..Amazing goodies…well I keep stuff organized on a wire rack and shelving.. i keep all my embellies together and paper together.. i also created a cool way to store chipboard pieces.. im a single mom and i found amazing ways to use the can from my daughters milk..This would be so wonderful to win. i don’t have half of the brand collections you have. THANKS SO MUCH FOR GIVING US ALLA CHANCE TO WIN THESE GOODIES!! one persons trash is another persons treasure!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:36 pmWe love your blog! Follow it daily! Decided to come today looking for a xmas card idea.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:36 pmWow, what a fantastic box of goodies!
I forgot to include my tips for organization. I don’t start a new project unless I clean after the last one. I have a very small craft area and I have to keep it neat, or I’ll never make anything there. I also give away lots of things I don’t use anymore, like what you’re doing now. There are always friends who could use them. Thanks for the chance to win1
Thanks for big giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:36 pmI keep organized by putting things when I am done and not misplacing things.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful artwork and you awesome blog too!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmStampin’ Hugs,
sher
Hi Krystina, Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful crafty goodies. Am only new to stamping, but have always loved papercraft of any kind. Thanks for all the inspiration you send to me inbox regularly.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmKristina: What a generous give away! I have been keeping organized lately but putting my stuff away as soon as I get & as soon as I finish stamping. I also try to use up stuff I have before running out to get more but I know what you mean about staying current.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmI should clean out too, but I’m such a hoarder that it’s painful to part! Thanks for the chance to win some super stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmHi Kristina! Thanks for the awesome goody giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmHonestly, the only time I organize is when I’m expecting guests (lol) or when I’m making a card and just CAN NOT find what I’m looking for! Sad but true :o|
Have a great weekend!
Hey Kristina. Love your videos, super inspiring. What a great box of stuff! I dont know how you can give up all those goodies! :) Thanks for being so generous! Hope I win!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmHoly cow! That’s a ton of stuff! My two tricks for staying organized are my Clip It Up (love it!) and forcing myself to put EVERYTHING away after I have finished a project even though I’m going to dig it all back out, sometimes five minutes later! :) Thanks again for all your blog videos, great ideas and generosity.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pmI have a loose organization system of clear plastic boxes where I keep my stash. Makes it easy to see what I have!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:38 pmI stay organized by having a very small area in which to scrap. It forces me to stay organized. That being said, new supplies are never a bad thing.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:38 pmKristina’s trash….hopefully will be my treasure. Thanks for doing this. This is so cool and I will happily accept everything you don’t want anymore.
Thanks for the giveaway!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:38 pmI do a good dejunking every few months like you did :O)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:39 pmI would love to get your ‘trash”!!!! Thanks for the chance!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:40 pmI think I’m better at staying organized in my craft room than most. In fact, organizing my craft stuff is almost as fun as using it :) Everything has it’s place and a filing system and I always clean up when I’m done.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:40 pmAMAZING stuff!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:40 pmAs far as organizing goes,at this point I am still in college and since I started scrapbooking have only aquired enough stuff to fit into a couple of large plastic boxes.
However,an Ikea is being built in my city and will hopefully be open by next year after I graduate. I would LOVE to get an Expedit along with tones of the adorable containers they carry, and then hopefully enough goodies to fill it with LOL.
I would loveeeee to win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmAwesome box of goodies….if I won this it would keep me busy for weeks!! I like to use funky baskets, antique bottles, yard sale and thrift store finds to organize and store all my stuff. We are buying a house and I will have my own scrap room that I don’t have to share with the guest bed so I am making lots of plance for the new room!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmHi Kristina, I don’t know if I can get in this joke, but I would like to participate. I’m brazilian, because that sorry if I write something wrong. I try to organize my things every month, but it is very difficult, normally I haven’t time, but I try to put all thing inside diferent packages separeted by type of paper and embellishments.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmThanks for this chance!! Have a good week!!
hooray for the giveaway!
love your videos btw. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmWhoa nelly I want all that stuff! I stay organized by putting stuff where it goes as soon as I buy it and I get rid of stuff by making things and giving them away or selling them.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmI am having paper overload! I just want to toss it all in the air and run around doing twirls. Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:42 pmYou are following a golden rule of cleaning up: using or giving away to someone who will use!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:42 pmI try to keep myself organized cleaning up and putting things back after each major project or set of projects, or when things became a little bit chaotic. If I loose more than 2min looking for something, I do prefer spend a few minutes organizing everything to “start fresh” and focus on the project.
Thank you for taking he time to record and preparing all the links of the products! You are amazing!
Too funny Kristina, I just straightened up my craft area last nite, I would love to win this box of goodies, I have room now!!! I
November 15th, 2009 at 4:43 pmLove you videos, and your blog.
SherriC.
Hi how kind to give this all away. I love your cards and you bright happy presentation. I sure you can’t ship to the UK but thought I would leave a comment Bee
November 15th, 2009 at 4:43 pmI try to put everything in some type of box, container, drawer or folder. Looks great from the outside but the insides of those things are another story all together! You have a wonderful blog and create such beautiful things that it is always a pleasure to visit.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:43 pmWOW Kristina, that box seemed never ending in your video! I love it. I would really LOVE to give this stuff a good home! My organization consists of a lot of sterilite boxes for all my different tools from embossing powder, punches, paper, and adhesive. And I am mostly a “try” to be organized person!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:43 pmWoW! What a giveaway! Thanks for the chance to get all those lovely goodie. I stayed organized by having like items together. (i.e. my buttons are in a glass jar – each color in it’s own bag inside the jar). I also clean out my stash a few time a year and give the extras to my kids to work on their own projects. Thanks again, Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmOmg, that is amazing. What a lovely box of stuff. I would love to win. How kind of you to give away. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmHow exciting! You’re so generous! Please sign me up!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmWow, what a lot of great stuff. Don’t suppose you’d want to break it up into 2 or 3 prizes? Just a thought.
Honestly, my best way to stay (reasonably) organized is to limit what I buy and use what I have! Ha, may not work for everyone.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmI just try to figure out the best system for how my mind works … I’ve finally discovered that I can ditch my scraps in a basket under my desk and be okay with sorting them out every few months … it’s only taken years for that one! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmThe best way I’ve found to stay organized is to close the door to the craft room when I’m done. And when I get a chance to go back in and create, I actually enjoy those first 10 minutes of cleaning up and organizing everything. For my process, true organization is overrated.
-Carrie F.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:44 pmYou are so very very generous! I love being organised and it’s taken a long time to create a system that works for me but the key is that there is a place for everything and I always keep extra room for when I stockpile supplies. I also pack away after every project and wipe down my desk before starting the next.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:45 pmOh my!!! If I was fortunate enuf to win all these goodies, I would have my supplies for the year!!! You really are very generous and thanks for your wonderful videos.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:45 pmwow you’re a saint!
I “try” to keep organized – it’s super difficult! I have drawers and what not for paper. But I use CD cases like papertrayink for ALL of my acrylic stamps.
Thanks for the generosity!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pmThanks for the chance to win!
I try to keep my craft room clean by putting away all my paper scraps once a week. That seems to be what gets me in the most trouble. Of course, I’m rarely successful. Right now, the scraps have run me out of the room!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pmomgosh . this is so awesome . how generous of you . :D
ive been wanting to make cards like you , or be able to scrapbook , && since i started watching your videos , it has inspired me to start making cards from scratch . && i usually go to your channel for ideas .
&& since then i have become very organized , by buying shelves && little cubbies to put the minimum stuff i have . && labeling everything , so that i don’t loose stuff or become cluttered . :) thanks , kristina !! for being my inspiration .
i wish i could win the box of goodies .
November 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pmOh my goodness…How i would love to win all that great stuff……. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

November 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pmI am trying to stay organized as well the only problem I have is that I HATE throwing or giving things away. The thing that is helping me (and I am still in the organization process) is I have turned the closet in my craft room into storage. I use paper storage you find in a scrapbook store. Lucky for me they were going out of business. I also use 12×12 storage containers made by Sterilite. You can find them at Target or Walmart. I find that clear containers by Sterilite or Rubbermaid help because I can easily identify the contents. I plan on labeling them when the process is over. Not only do I store 12×12 paper (btw they have the 81/2×11 size as well), I can also store, stamps (mounted Stampin Up stamps will fit), rub ons, ink pads and tools. Most importantly, I can find my things and I don’t end up buying duplicates by mistake . Now I buy duplicates on purpse. The one thing that I truly love is my over the door shoe storage bag that I use to hold my giga punches and other tools. Because of my busy schedule I have to do it not only one day at a time but sometimes one weekend at a time. Thank God it is coming along. Despite my time constraints, none of this would not be possible without shelves, jars and my wonderful and loving mother that loves me enough to help me organize my obsession (one that she does not understand). Good luck I hope this helps not only you but others.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pmMy attempts at my craft room organization is to clean-up after I’m done crafting. Otherwise mess begets mess and I have a nightmare on my hands which takes forever to get out from under.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:47 pmWow, great goodies……would love to win them. I’m not sure if I can honestly say that I am organized, but I do find I am most creative when my desk is a total mess, and I hardly have enough room to work on. It works for me.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:47 pmOMG…sometimes its very hard to stay organized but I do my best. I’ve separated my scrap paper and my DP in different envelopes/folders so when I’m doing something I know which folder to go to.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:47 pmThe way I like to stay organized is I need to be able to see the things I have or at least KNOW where to look for them. At my card/crafting desk I have metal towel holders from Ikea that I have put all my ribbons on, I have a special place for all my glues and adhesives. When I get NEW papers I put them in a file or new mail organizer so that they dont get lost in old stuff and I remember that I bought them. I have little boxes organized and stacked with stickles, markers, paper/ribbon scraps, letterpress and other embellishments, all divided so I can find things quickly and easily. It all surrounds my desk so that I can easily see things from my work area. My biggest thing is not rebuying things or forgetting I have things, so as long as I can see it, I dont forget about it.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pmI would love to win these awesome scrap gift box! Thanks for the opportunity, Kristina! I always try to keep my craft stuff organized, but when I get started on a project, it’s inevitable that I will make a mess. I have lots of containers and bins, but I still need to find a good way to store ribbon!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pmWow! I’d so love to give all of this stuff a good home!
My top tip for staying organized is once I’ve done a card put everything away! Ok I don’t always do this. Sometimes I get all keen on a new idea and just make a little space and keep going! lol
November 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pmLooks a lot like my craft studio….It’s so brave of you to give up all those wonderful papers!
Best of luck on continued cleaning!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pmDid some say “organized” ? That is a constant with me and my crafts room. My sister says that she is sure that in future no matter who uses that room and for whatever purpose , they will keep hearing this voice saying , ” I must get this room organized”. – LOL. I do keep hoping.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pmthank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful box of goodies.
Organised OMGoodness are you supose to be organised LOL. I have a big cupboard that I can hide my stuff in.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:49 pmThanks for your videos. My 11 year old daughter and I watch religiously and have learned alot from you. Thanks for the inspiration! I try to stay organized but it’s not always easy. I have the most difficulty with my stamping products but I love them!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:49 pmOh. My. Word ! That is A LOT of stuff Kristina….U rock !!!
I stay organized by having a tray to hold my ‘in progress’ cards..I tend to do ‘mass’ production around Christmas of a few varieties so within my tray I have each style of card in a ziploc bag. (easy to see and stays contained)
I have all my completed cards stored in pretty boxes and labelled with envelopes so I can access with quickly.
My embellishments are mostly stored in clear stackable containers.
My c/s is stored in my travel case (on wheels) and my papers are
stored on my shelf. I don’t have tons of stuff so it’s probably easier for me to maintain my organization….plus I’m a bit like Monica (…from Friends) LOL !
I HOPE to win to add to my small collection.
Thanks for having such a generous giveaway !
Sandi :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:50 pmSince I’m an unemployed college student living with my parents, my craft stash is pretty low– It basically fits in one big bag and a few boxes for stickers/ buttons. The biggest thing keeping me organized is my clean obsessed mother (and I really do thank her keeping me so organized, even if I don’t always enjoy it). I’d love to dive into a crafting room as diverse as yours, or even just a big craft box ;)
-Emilia
November 15th, 2009 at 4:50 pmholy cow, that’s a seriously generous pile! thanks for the opportunity.
i’m kind of an organization nut, and have plenty of the sterilite drawer sets to keep things organized and at my fingertips. but my absolute favorite was a birthday gift from my husband – a chest with 16 14×14 inch drawers, each two inches high. i keep all my stamps and inks in it.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:51 pmThanks for this great giveaway. You are such an inspiration to me…I love all your videos! I try to keep organized by cleaning up after each project. Even though that’s not always possible, I feel much more invigorated for the next fun project.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:51 pmWow Kristina! What a giveaway.
I’m sure it’ll be nice to have a bit more space in your studio too!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmI try to stay organized by not buying everything that I “may” need someday, lol. My daughters like to help with my scraps (that I keep seperated by colors in large ziploc bags) by making cards.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmYou are soooo lucky! And hopefully I will be too! I like to store each type of item together, like all chipboard, jewels, lace, rubbons, and so on. That way I can look at the containers to remind me what my options are. Thanks for all the inspiration!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmI am having trouble walking I have my toes crossed I wope I win this box of goodies. I limit my self to only one small random jumk pile on one small shelf the rest of mytthings all have thier special place. thanks for sharing your awesome creations
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmOkay, you are inspiring me to do this in MY craft room. It is amazing how fast we can accumulate so much stuff!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmOh my goodness… staying – or trying to stay – organized is always a challenge for me. These days we are going so many different directions, I need several calendars… office, kitchen, phone, purse… This helps on most days. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmHi, thanks for the opportunity to win, the stuff looks great. I have a four drawer plastic tower, which i have organized smaller boxes into, containing paper, stickers, glue, ribbon. And I also have some folding boxes that I store stuff in, hard to stay organized sometimes though, seems like I do my best when looking through a mess. I’ll call it organized chaos.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmI am going through all my drawers and cleaning out all the stamp sets that I haven’t used in the past year! That’s a lot of stamp sets!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmIf I win this it will give me a reason to clean up my craft room. Actually I should just do that anyway. Thanks for the inspiration!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmHope I am not too late. Been out of town. You are great and would love to get a box of stuff..especially from you. Have a great day and I am grateful for everything you share.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmHope you had fun cleaning up your craft room! I find it to be very inspiring!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmThanks for the fun giveaway!
~Shaz
Oh gosh, that’s a lot of goodies…
I don’t have a lot of materials, so it’s pretty easy for me to stay organised. I keep all of my tools (such as paper punches, stamps and scissors) in one drawer, my ribbons in another and my paper in a cabinet.
I also use shoeboxes to store on-going projects in, like when I make a ginormous batch of cards (most often for Christmas) and need a break or need to do something else on my desk.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:53 pmOne man’s trash is another man’s treasure…although this isn’t trash, it would still be a complete treasure here! Ohhhh man, I love that you get the entire collections of things – - how lucky you are. And I love the JilliBean Soup stuff when you use it and would love to try that too. Thanks so much – way to pay it forward!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:54 pmI love that all this stuff comes from projects you’ve done.
I try to keep things organized by separating everything into bins or shelves. I also like to make sure I clean up everything in my craft space after I’m done.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:54 pmthe only way I know how to stay organized is to put everything away when I’m done. That way everything is where it belongs.
Good Luck
Helen
November 15th, 2009 at 4:54 pmOh my — so much STUFF Kristina!! I try to keep organized by keeping everything in Container Store shelving by category (i.e. Brads in one drawer, Ribbon, Charms, Buttons, transparencies) etc., all in separate drawers. Paper is kept in an almost floor to ceiling mag rack; DH made me an extra lg. ink pad holder, and there are several other storage products I use to try to stay organized! You’re invited to come over and see for yourself ANYTIME!! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:55 pmAwesome how generous you are!! I’d love all that stuff to really do my paper scrapbooking again…
I keep organized by putting brads, buttons etc in tiny bottles – I put all my stickers in plastic folders so I can go through them all when I’m looking for something in particular – I put all my odds & ends in a big round covered box & love looking through it to find something :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:55 pmI try to be organized, but haven’t had much success. I need to go through my stuff as well! My only advice for staying organized is buying only what you need for your current projects! I wish I could follow that rule.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:55 pmOh my God I’m a neat freak so I HAVE to keep it organized otherwise I can’t do anything. My trick is to keep it simple. I’ve I’m not using it I put it away right away. Everything has it rightful place and most of my storage stuff are very compartmented. It also helps me to organize things by subject: tools, paper, coloring stuff… Whenever I have a big project going that takes days I also separate everything I’m using in it and create a space for it so I narrow things down in my mind. But I guess the most important thing to me is to keep the clutter down. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:56 pmwowzers what a great giveaway – i’d love to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:56 pmone word for how i stay organized….TUPPERWARE
i just try to put all the like items in one tupperware (ribbons in one etc) – i try to only keep 5 or so total so that it doesnt’ get too overwhelming for me
OMG! Thank you Kristina! What a wonderful early Xmas gift it will make for someone.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:56 pmomg thats is awesommmmeeee!!!!!!1
November 15th, 2009 at 4:56 pmWow! An amazing giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:56 pmIt’s great that you are cleaning out, to stay organized, & sharing so many wonderful goodies.
I’ve been buying more storage drawers to get myself organized. Problem is–I keep buying more to put in those drawers at the same time. Maybe I’ll see results if I make a resolution!?
I love your cards. I would love to have anything you send. Maybe some of your creativity and ability will rub off on me.;-)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:57 pmWell I wish i was more organized, but i like you go through my stuff and weed out the old to make room for new stuff, or sell what i’m not using, if not i would not have anyroom at all, i like to have my stamps in plastic bins organized by themes :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:57 pmI guess the biggest thing I do is to try to put things away as soon as I use them. Sometimes I put them away even when I know I will need them again just so I can feel organized as I work. Love your videos! Kathy
November 15th, 2009 at 4:57 pmThat’s so generous of you. I would love to win.
I like to have everything near me when I’m working but I like to stay organized. I use cute bowls and tea cups I find at thrift shops to keep things pretty but I also pick up Making Memories items when they are on sale at Michaels or Winners (Canada’s version of TJ Max)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:57 pmHi Kristina,
Happy Sunday! This post is just such a coincidental event! I’m cleaning up my craft room this afternoon too! I do this every once in a while as I finish projects, but I do have tons of stuff. I was showing my DH your video and he said, great, you’re cleaning up your room so you can get more stuff! LOL
Well, yeah, but it’s not like I will definitely win! But I wish I would because I’m always looking for new things – new for me, old to you.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Carmen
November 15th, 2009 at 4:58 pmWow awesome candy! Thanks for all the inspiration you give with your christmas cards video’s!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:58 pmHow cool of you! I want to clean out my stuff now – especially if I have to make room for all your cool goodies!!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:58 pmHey Kristina!
What I usually do since I dont have a room that I do scrapbooking in I got a mini bookshelf and i just kind of dump ever thing in it( I’m not the most organized person) But what I would do is get those stands with the plastic bins and label them and store it that way. Thanks for the givaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmOMG!!! This is an awesome give away.!!! I am a paper/cardstock junkie….I can never have enough or too much of it. (I need to use it up…but then I won’t have it anymore…lol…I think I am a hoarder).
November 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmWould love to win this!! Nice of you to give it away to somebody.
Wow what a great box of stuff you are giving away. How generous of you. I love everything you share and have purchased my supplies based on things you use on your blog. Thanks for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmKristina what can I say…you never cease to amaze me by your generosity not only with your time but product too! What an amazing collection of goodies! Organisation is NOT my thing at all…I mean I try for my hubbies sanity because he is the clean fanatic in our relationship and we share the same office space! The extent of my organisation is having paper in one area, stamps in another and embellishments all in together!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmWow… This is the best giveaway ever!!! I would love to win it.
I try to have all my scrapbook things in boxes, paperholders and stuff in my shelf but most of the time it’s just everywhere, mostly on the floor. It’s chaotic most of the time!
I would also like to say thank you for some great inspiration. Keep up the good work. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmHow do I stay organized? This is always a work in progress..
I’ve bought bins, buckets, photo boxes you name it and nothing seems to work. I’m still looking for the perfect solution to help me stay organized in my small craft area.
Thank you for the chance to win.
I sure enjoy watching your videos.
MM
November 15th, 2009 at 5:00 pmWow, there is so much and it has hardly been touched. That looks like my own craft supplies. I do keep everything put away if I am not using it and try to keep things grouped by color or theme. Good luck with your purge!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmOMG! What an awesome giveaway. You are going to make one lucky winner VERY happy! Selfishly, I hope its ME but, I will be sincerely happy for whoever wins this big box of FUN! Thanks Kristina for everything you do and share!
EDITED: In all the excitement of posting a comment, I forgot to mention how I stay organized. It is a constant battle for me. I create a huge mess and then I take a day to put everything away.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmI am a bit OCD about organization so I’ve organized my craft room in categories/zones, much like a store. Papers, Adhesives, Cutting, Embossing, Stamps, Tools, Embellishing: Inks/chalks/glitter/embossing powder/paints/brads/eyelets. Then each category has its own sub organization (e.g., paper rack, stamp drawers, cutting die binder etc.). Its a small space, so everything is just a few steps away from my work table (drafting table). Its nothing fancy but it seems to work for me/my space.
What a great giveaway! I *try* to stay organized, mainly by purging regularly and the usual big plastic bins and filing cabinets. Making myself actual put things away is the hard part! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmomg.there is so much cool stuff in there!!! hope i win
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmRight now my craft room is a disaster! I need to do an overhaul too, and I’m dreading it!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmWow – what an awesome way to do a clean out…..and share with others!!! I just recently found your blog and saved it to my favorites.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmWow! Who wouldn’t want to win some awesome stuff?
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmFor me it’s really only an “attempt” to stay organized tough I love to have everything neat and organized. I recently bought some drawers at IKEA to organize some small crafty stuff I had laying around, like gems and glitter. Also, I try to limit myself to things I can use over and over, like basic stamps, rather than have too many paper collections because I always feel there’s something newer and cuter (not good for a students budget anyway).
Today, however, I decided to make some Christmas cards for a card race for children to minimize my Christmas pp.
My husband and I just moved to a small home that we are renting. We were living with my parents while he went to school. So organization was very hard and sometimes frustrating. Here in the house I have a room called the Craft room. I am working hard to fix it up the way that I have always dreamed my “room” would look. I have several home made items to keep my ribbon and paper organized. I have plastic containers for my embossing, stamps, and smaller gadgets. I have recently changed one of our cabinets into a storage area where the top is free for working and the bottom holds all my larger items (paper cutter, cricut, etc.) I have really enjoyed my new area to work. Having things under the bed and then pulling it out each time to work is a pain.. Thanks for this opportunity.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:01 pmYou are very generous to give away all that beautiful stuff…
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmHow exiting! THANK YOU! What I usually do to (keep clean my space)is that I like to have a place for everything. Besides that I like to label my stuff and sort them by colr, brand, shapes, patterns etc….. Also when I am going to have a project comming ahead I store it in a extra drawer I have. Thats basiclly it!!!!! I hope to win since I have never won something! Thanks for the opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmYou are always so kind to everyone. Thanks for sharing with us. Good Luck Everyone!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmI am totally new to card making and hope to start making cards with my 2 daughters for family bonding kinda thing.
To date we haven’t got anything so this would be an awesome starter kit ;-)
I stay organised with ikea stuff – love it!
Thanks for such a great offer, and for inspiring me with your videos. I can’t wait to get started!
Adelex
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmWith over 500 entries I doubt I’ll win. But who knows.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmI really like to organize by filing. My paper is filed by color, maker, and package name. My stamps are filed by index cards with matching numbers and colors on each set and file card. I love knowing where things need to go.
OH MY what a amazing give away!!! I have a small acrapbooking area so I try to you any little space I can! I put stuff on the walls,in bins and jars!! I try to keep it look cute to but that is a task to have it stay organized and look cute :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmAwesome giveaway! I try to stay organized by having a spot for certain items. I’ve got my ribbon stashed in a plastic container (big!), a few plastic carriers with tools, stamps, etc. Some of those big zipper binders.. and my most recent purchase, a clip it up! Once I can redecorate the spare room, it’s going to become a nifty craft room. Can’t wait!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:03 pmwow Kristina, awsome box of goodies you are giving us a chance to win, Thank you…
I *try* to stay organised by having clear plastic draws of different sizes with my small stash in, and then each thing ie stamps, inks, papers, cardstock, cards ect are organised organised in these draws. I dont have a lot so its pretty easy to keep organsied unless my two little kiddies want to play too lol…
Thanks again for the chance to win these awsome goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pmAll I can say is amazing. You must love your job or should I say jobs?
November 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pmI make a big mess in the midst of a project so I try to clean up one before starting another. And I have a place for everything, so it’s not too bad once I begin cleaning up.
Thanks for inspiring me! :-)
Hi,
I stay organized by using plastic bins and drawers, also cute jars that i find souring thrift stores..
its a great way to save money these days.
Thanks so much for your creative inspiration!
Felicia
November 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pmOMG.. I would just love this box of awesome stuff.
I have a small work space so I use lots of containers that I have gotten from the dollar tree to organize my stuff and to keep it contained.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Wow, what an amazing job that you have……Every scrapbookers/card designer’s dream come true !!!! I just love all your mojo inspired videos. My kids think I am crazy because I always seem to be on my computer watching scrapbooking or card designing videos, or making my own pages….Good luck to the lucky winner :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:05 pmHOW FUN!! I have a hard time keeping everything clean and neat but I used alot of totes and bins for all of my things!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:05 pmHi!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:05 pmHer’s a viewer of your videos on youtube from sweden =) Hope I heard right that you don’t mind shipping international.
Anyway, I have a walk in closet I’ve made into a scraproom. And I try to have it a little bit organized since the space is limited. I have a bookshelf with is great for separating, papers on one shelf, stickers, letters and souch in one. Then I have a shelf over my craft-table where I have tools I use often.
I hope you understand my description. But I have pictures in my blog if you want to see for yourself =)
I really hope I win, looked lite really nice products!
I try to stay organized by keeping my supplies to a minimum. I get rid of the stuff I don’t use so I don’t accumulate.
Great videos, BTW. I love the Christmas videos. Thanks for doing 25 days of Christmas! I don’t miss a day.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:06 pmI surf the net for inspiration from others in staying organized. That is actually how I came across your blog, it was the picture of your solid colored card stock in file folders and now I am addicted to your blog!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:06 pm“Attempt…” would be the key word! My scrap room probably looks like a mess, but that’s because I realized it has to be visible for me to use it. So now I have buckets and baskets surrounding my desk on shelves or in french planters… I keep baskets organized by product type (bling, journaling books, flowers, etc…) and it’s made a huge difference. I also keep a basket of mixed things that I really want to use – it’s helped me get through some older bits of my stash.
Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:06 pmHi!! Love your videos…and love your craft room too. OMG!! your Holiday card series it’s amazing!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:07 pmXOXOXOX
My stash is fairly organized, but only until I start scrapping! Then my desk gets covered with odds and ends – really, why does it take such a mess to make a simple page or card? I keep everything in Iris carts or Jetmax cubes. Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:07 pmHey Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:07 pmI love your videos and everything that you make!
I have always been a bit jealous of all the different kinds of stuff that you are fortunate enough to have so any one who wins is so lucky!
This was a great idea to not let such beautiful things go to waste!
Blessings!
I think I would have a heart attack if I won!! I try to have a home for everything and my job now is putting it back when I am done what a hard job that is!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:07 pmWow, what a fab pile of scrappy goodness – do we overseas gals get to enter too? If we do, thanks SO much for the chance to win :) Hugs from NZ
EDITED: Oops, forgot to say how I get organised… for me, it’s all about labelled containers and drawers full of similar items. I keep the most used ones in the easiest to reach places. Although I must add that after a crafting session, it takes FOREVER to put it all away again! Doh!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:08 pmI stay organized by using plastic bins. I have one for just paper, one for adhesives, one for scissors, one for pens/markers, one for punches, and one for all my smaller embellishments. Oh, and I have a plastic divided box for the pins, buttons, and other smaller accessories.
But, I’ve started doing more and more digital scrapbooking and I arrange that by papers, colors, letters, fonts, and embellishments (then by types). I know that a lot of digital scrapbookers keep their stuff organized by collection, but that didn’t work for me. I just make sure the collection title is in the file name, so that I know where it came from and where I can find coordinating parts.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:08 pmI just love your videos. I am constantly watching. You can say Im addicted.
Well I am not that organized. I should be, but hopefully soon I can have a nice organized craft room. But for now my messy table will do.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:08 pmI try to stay organized by using shelves and baskets, but it doesn’t always work. :) Good luck on your clean up!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:08 pmWow!! What a great give away! I have to say that the only way I can l keep my sanity is to put things away as I finish using them. Looking forward t the rest of your 25 Christmas card series.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:09 pmI love your videos! Thanks for all the inspriation. Your giveaway looks like so much fun!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:09 pmHi Kristina,
the prize is faboulous and you’re very generous!
I have a little scraproom in my new house. I have a desk and a lot of shelves, every shelf contains a different thing: I keep all my tools in a transparent box. My stamps are keeped in a sort of bedside table (the upper drawer contains wood and foam stamps; the lower contains clear stamps). I have a little cabinet with drawers and in every drawer there are things like: embossing powders – inks – stazon pads – versacolor inkpads – glitters – strass etc…
I keep all my patterned papers all vertical in a box, separated by brand.
I keep my alphabets in drawers, each drawer contains a different kind of alphabets (rub-ons; adhesive; chipboard).
But when I’m working i usually leave things and stuff around the desk, so it’s a mess!!!!!
Thank you for this opportunity.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pmWow oh wow that is all amazing stuff and I don’t don’t have anything of it I think (I know sad isn’t it LOL). What an amazing gift for the holidays. Lots of luck to everyone and thanks so much for doing this amazing giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pmI stay pretty well organized by cleaning up between projects.
Everything does have a place but I’m struggling with keeping my paper organized. I just have too much so it’s busting out of my current system!
I purge once or twice a year…
Thanks for the chance to win! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pmWow! Kristina, you are sooo generous! I clean my desk after every project (sort of LOL!)…in an effort to stay organised.
Ange xxx
November 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pmWow! That’s a lot of goodies. I usually purge once a year because I have limited space. And for me, everything has to have a place once I bring it into the house or it will never get put away. Once it is used it goes back to it’s home. I’m one of those people that can’t craft with a messy space. So, I make a mess on one project and have to clean up before I can create anything else. Boring, I know.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pmOH MY GOSH! that’s a HUGE giveaway ever!!! thanks for the chance!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmIt would be soooo fantastic if I win all this goodies!!!
I keep my project in a 12×12 plastic container w/ all the materials I’ll need (like a kit). So it’s easy when I want to work on them ,it’s all in one place!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmwow, i’d give my right are for this stash of goodies….I have my fingers crossed!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmWow Kristina what great things you’re giving away!
I would very much like to win all of this! But hey, good luck to everyone who is leving a comment!
Bye bye,
Loes
EDITED: I’m sorry I forgot to tell: I’m not organised at all! I always try to be, but I never succeed…
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmwow, that’s a huge givaway, many of the items i haven’t seen before here in the netherlands…i wish i could get some…crossing fingers…greets!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmWhat a wonderful gift. Whoever wins will be busy! To keep organized, I keep my papers in hanging folders by color. Other items are separated and kept in clear plastic drawers in rolling carts, When working I like to have the carts next to me, so I can put items away as I go (this happens most of the time, not always, though). If the workplace gets too messy, I have to stop and clean.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmSo fun! I try to clean up my workspace after each project but it doesn’t usually happen. I am a mess when I create. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:11 pmI use photo boxes to keep organized – one box for ribbon, another for ink pads, another for little embellishments… Within the boxes, I use little Ziploc bags to group things together. I keep my paper separated by type and colour in folders.
Loving the holiday series : ) Thanks for the chance to win this stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:13 pmHi Kristina, this is such a generous giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:13 pmI didn’t start making cards until about a year ago so I don’t have nearly as much stuff as you, but I try to keep organized with this old mini bookshelf that I had when I was little. I just put all my stuff in labeled shoe boxes! Hopefully it will make it easier for me to take to college next year :) Good Luck cleaning up!
I stay organized by cleaning up my space before I start my next project. I also try not to keep the packaging so I can see the products.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:13 pmAlso, every fews months I’ll rearrange some products…always find some “new” stuff I forgot about.
i have had a terrible day my pet bird i have had for 4 yrs just passed and i thought that this would cheer me up so count me in!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:13 pmHi Kristina! Basically, I try to organise things materialwise and in boxes. I have tons of boxes all clearly labelled with card stock, buttons, sequins, ribbons, stickers, etc and take out the things as I require them for various projects, but always sure to return them to their place at the end. Its time consuming then, but saves a lot of hassle and energy in the long run!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:13 pmThis is a dream giveway, it is so hard to get those goodies here in Scotland, I hope I’m the lucky one !!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:14 pmWhat a fun idea for a giveaway!! It would be so fun to win the stuff you’ve used on projects. Thanks for all the videos, they really inspire ideas for me. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:14 pmHi…. How do I stay Organized? Good question.. After making a mess all around the table….and try and find the table..lol It’s amazing the mess you can make when you get in the mood to and let all your creative jucies roll.. Then I start putting everything back in boxes til the next day when I make a mess again… love Raquel
November 15th, 2009 at 5:14 pmKristina!
Thank You sooooo much for this opportunity!
So, the way I ‘attempt’ to stay organized is by keeping all of my product close by. I don’t like to shove things in drawers so I will never use them. My craft desk may look messy, but that’s organized to me! I like to have everything a reach away so that I actually use the things I buy. Also, every few months, my friends and I get together and give each other new crafty things! I try not to take as much as I give so that it actually makes a difference!
-Carly
November 15th, 2009 at 5:15 pmOh my… You are amazing in your generosity with this give away and all the sharing you do with your videos. I hope to win so I can have an open house to scrap with my friends.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:15 pmHi Kristine,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:15 pmFirst of all, I have very much been enjoying your christmas cards. Keep up the great work. They are all so lovely. The way I try to stay ‘organized’ is to get rid of something, by giving it to my sister or aunt, when I purchase something. Its been really effective for me so I’m going to keep it going.
Thanks for a chance at your old goodies.
i’m constantly re-organizing! LOL but it did help to purge a bunch of stuff as you are doing now. I have a number of systems (for stamps and paper for example, and then tools etc.) and like i said i seem to reorganize or fine tune once or twice a year. I recently reorganized my nestabilities into a binder and i’m liking that very much now. much better than the plastic document carriers i was using.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:15 pmBut my new mantra is make do/use what i have. that said i wouldn’t mind winning! Thanks for sharing all your talents. i love watching your videos and seeing your wonderful cards
This would be sooo fun to win. I am addicted to paper and can never have enough. I could never give away all those beautiful papers. It is so much fun to watch what you create with them. I always look forward to your videos.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:16 pmHi, are u crazy to give all that stuff away?? It must have cost a fortune :S When I have to clean up my craft/study room, I”ll get out my study books :D
But count me in for winning this fab box!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:16 pmI *try* to stay organized by having plenty of storage space available…however as ALL of us know, it’s pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to get and STAY organized with this hobby! LOL
November 15th, 2009 at 5:16 pmOH, WOW!! THat is A LOT!!! I really hope I win!! I really need some collection packs!
I’m not really so organized, but most of my things go in those palstic drawer thing you can stack.
And then i just have tons of things flying across my table! My mother is always telling me to clean it up!
This is so nice of you to do, Kristina!! THanks for giving us the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:16 pmI have been enjoying your videos and I have gotten a lot of great ideas off of them. I even enjoyed your video of you teaching how to give yourself a french manicure .
November 15th, 2009 at 5:16 pmI think that it’s great that you are passing along of your unneeded supplies. I did this last year and gave my unneeded supplies to our local Children s Hospital.
I would love to receive this box and I would love to share some of these things with others.
Oh my goodness…
This is my main organization tip — nothing can rest on the floor. If I can’t fit it on my shelf or on my craft table, I don’t need it. If I do have stuff on the floor, I give myself a quick deadline to make something with it (like 2 days) or give it away.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:17 pmI always wonder what you do with all your scraps. Now I know and I hope to win!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:17 pmLove your videos!!!
Hi, Kristina!
I recently got married and my sister in low introduced me stamping like a month ago and I got totally hooked!! Haha! It was very hard for me to come up with the card design so I googled and found your Youtube videos that they are all amazingly cute and stylish!! Ever since (like couple weeks or so ago?), I’m checking your blog that gives me a lot of ideas also just sooo much fun to watch!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:18 pmSo my organizing, since I just started I dont have much stuff yet but only basics that are pretty much able to hold by one BILLY cabinet from IKEA. Sorry, I’m not helping you much, huh? ;-P
I will be crazily happy if I could win your goodies!! I can make more variety cards!!
That is some great stuff to giveaway. I am always cleaning and going rearranging my stuff. I don’t have as much stuff so I don’t get rid of anything except for scraps. When I get to much of those i just toss.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:19 pmWOW –so awesome to watch your videos –first thing I don on Mondays and Fridays –every morning with my coffee in hand –
November 15th, 2009 at 5:19 pmI have been mostly a scrapbook spectator rather than participant since I started working full time recently –I was a SAHM mom –I need to rebuild my stash with new products so I can get inspired again. . .
You are about to make someone a very happy camper –
What a great giveaway! I love your video tutorials! They’re very inspirational!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pmWhat a fantastic giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pmI love my drawers and jars to stay organised.
Every once in a while I go trough my stuff and make my own (little!)giveaway box. Mostly I give it to my co-workers kids and they love it.
Love all of your videos.
Keep up the good work.
Ok well I try to have as many boxes as possible with little compartments to keep everything straight. Of course then I start crafting and they get mixed up. Also I have recently bought cropper hoppers which I haven’t organized my paper in yet, but I’m excited to do it so I can actually see what paper I have quickly and easily. Thanks for your leftovers =) I’m glad you’re making room.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pmi love all ur videos , n i wish i could win !!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pmOrganized? Me? My craft room always looks like a tornado has come through! Ha ha! I do have a closet of the organizing cubes from Michaels that I use to try to stay organized…but I don’t think it will ever happen :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pmWow! What a giveaway! I would love to win! I love your blog and your videos. Your style is simple and fresh, and your blog is always inspiring whenever I need an idea for a card. Thanks for sharing so much with us all!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:21 pmI love your blog! A friend told me about it just the other day, and I’m hooked!
My organizational plan is to put everything away as soon as one project is done. I’ll work myself down to about 1 square foot of space, and the only way to be able to get anything else started is to put EVERYTHING away–scissors, tape, adhesives, colored pencils–EVERYTHING. Then I can start FRESH on a new project!
Blessings!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:21 pmHow about donating it to the Goodwill?
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmhey Kristina
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmI love all your videos! They are full of great hints and ideas.
Thank you for the chance to go into the draw to win that fab goodie box.
Keep up the great work and fab cards!
Kindest regards Dan
My best friend loves organizing things… she comes over about once every 6 months. That’s as clean as I get.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmI laughed my butt off seeing your scraproom! I don’t feel so bad now! LOL!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmHi Kristina,
thanks for giving us the this great chance to win. We have so much in common… I lie all the products that your giving away!
I try and keep all my crafting goodies stored in a neat stack seperated in bags from my local craft store: clipper street
I keep misc stuff and embellishments in baskets on my desk so I can see them and decide how to use them and how to orient and design a wonderful card or page!
You sure have alot of stuff Kristina! And I envy that…
Thanks again,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmTaylor Travis
love watching your videos and creative ideas. the way i keep things organised is having a teen daughter who also loves crafting and inviting her friends over to play crafts so we never have much stuff to organise because they use it all up but its so enjoyable watching what they create and talk about they re so funny and i dont mind buying things for them to scrap so much healthier than whats out there these days. anyway thanks for sharing all your ideas and goodies
November 15th, 2009 at 5:22 pmHoly Moly Girl!!! I would love to win your leftovers!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:23 pmI try to clean up after each project and that helps me stay organized when all is neat and tidy.
I from Puerto Rico,live in New Jersey,I dont have too much suply because I new scrapbooking,only 1 year,I love you tutorial card every day I lean something with you videos,and lean English too because my English no good,sorry. I keep my papers in a 12×12 plastic container. Thank you!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:23 pmMy attempt to stay organized is to have a spot for everything… paper on my bookshelf .. punches in a basket etc. Thanks for the chance to win the great box of goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:24 pmOh my! That’s SO generous of you!!
As for my organizational skills…..i theoretically use file folders and organize each folder…but more often than not, they just get added to the ever growing pile on my desk.
thanks for sharing your work with us!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:25 pmWhat a great giveaway! I have lots of plastic containers and I just clean through them on a regular basis and give stuff I am not using to friends, my son teacher for craft projects and anyone who I can share with. Thank you for sharing and giving! Love your website. You have inspired me daily to become a better card maker and designer!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:25 pmOh My! What a generous box of goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:25 pmI would so love to win it and I love to organize.
I’ve been watching your youtube channel to get some Ideas. I’m trying to start my scrapebooking and i would love to start making cards. This would be awesome to win your goody box b/c right now I have nothing. Trying to start my collection up. Thank you for what you do b/c its an inspiration.
thank you!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:26 pmHey Girly!
i would love love love to win this giveaway!!
Thanks for sharing all your projects… you’re a inspiration!
~Lori~
November 15th, 2009 at 5:26 pmI love, love, love your holiday card collection that you are doing! It is my highlight to watch them. You are so very talented! What a wonderful cleanup giveaway that your having… hope I win!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:26 pmWhat a fantastic give away…thanks for the opportunity to win!! I have a horrible time keeping my craft room organized, but one thing I’ve started doing similar to you by “downsizing” products in my stash that I’ve “used up” but still have some of…I take them to my kindergarten classroom and let the kids use them for various projects.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:26 pmH’cow! This is a fabulous pile of ‘leftovers’! If I won, it would totally end up as a YT haul video – most of those I don’t have – I am not able to keep up with all the new stuff. Really cute stuff and so very nice of you to give us a chance to win! TFS, Karen
November 15th, 2009 at 5:26 pmI keep my punches, embellishments, brads, and embossing powders separate in plastic drawers. My pattern papers and cardstock are all together in one pile. I use a big binder for all my clear stamps and stickers. For my ribbons I use recycled plastic containers for strawberries (stick a pencil from one side to the other to keep the spools in place). The problem is always the ink pads (which I try to pile up on top of each other if I can) and wood-mounted stamps (which I try to keep in plastic containers, but they keep popping up in the most unusual places).
Anyway, I think the best solution to stay as organized as possible is to keep your supplies at a minimum and purchase them as you run out. I know, who can resist temptation and not buy lots of everything? Let’s be honest, ours is a very addictive hobby.
Thanks for giving us a chance to win your goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pmWhoa! That’s quite a giveaway! I feel the need to win something…soon! Love your blog. I visit all the time…not just when there’s a giveaway. Congratulations on the clean up!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pmWhat a great giveaway! You are so generous!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:28 pmMy head is spinning from all that great “STUFF”!!!!
I’m always trying to organize and sometimes I feel as if I will never get it done. My latest attempt at organizing was to buy a whole bunch of clear plastic shoe boxes at the dollar store. I’m using them to store and organize my embellies.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:28 pmWow….crazy large give-a-way.
I ’stay organized’ by staring mindlessly at the stack of stuff on my kitchen island (where I work 90% of the time), then walk off humming “Some Day Over The Rainbow”……and yet…..when driving past my favorite scrap room yesterday….I stopped and bought a few things! Is there a Scrapper’s Anonymous?
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmI keep organized (well attempt to) but putting all of my unfinished work.notes into portable file folders.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmlove =)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmHi Kristina, I always “try” to get organized but never seem to accomplish it. Ha Ha, I just realized it’s much like dieting…always try but never succeed. Oh well. Another thing I keep trying to do is win some of your goodies. Maybe this time! Got my fingers crossed.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmthanks a lot.
Bunny
Oh my gosh this is a FANTASTIC giveaway!! You and I have very similar tastes :) Thank you so much for doing this!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmMy goodness! You are giving away more stuff than I actually own. I stay organized because I’m OCD and it drives me nuts when I’m not. I just purchase good storage systems from The Container Store and keep everything in it’s place. It’s quite easy for me but I realize that I’m a little strange.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Karman
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmOh Girly you are the best!!!! SO many of the items you use I try to find at my local craft store and no luck so this would be like a great Christmas gift!!! Thank you !!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmHmm, how do I stay organized?Well I try to have a bin for all my things like letter stickers, rub ons etc. It doesnt always work and I end up with a bunch of bins half full of stuff lol..
Thank you for doing this giveaway and giving one of us the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:29 pmWOW! it is sad to let these things go but must be awesome to have a clean workspace! Don’t worry, I’ll help you out and take that stuff off your hands! Anything for you! LOL!! Thanks for the great giveaway and please post a new craftroom video of your new clean space!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:30 pmHoly cow! You really did clean up! I try to stay organized by having a place for everything. I also find I need to purge pretty regularly – sometimes I sell things at my LSS yard sales, other times I just give it away. Thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:30 pmI stay organized by finding more free space to place my stuff. On the floor, a foot stool, another chair. No sense in cleaning up and organizing too often because after I watch your videos I get reinspired and go make more of a mess at my card making table.

November 15th, 2009 at 5:30 pmWhat an awesome giveaway..very sweet of you to do this. Congratulations on cleaning up, its always a good feeling.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:30 pmoh my…how fun!! to stay organized…one thing i do is get completely cleaned up after every project…get a clean space and everything put back, then start another project. and i think having “like” things together is a great way to be organized…
November 15th, 2009 at 5:31 pmI love your cards! I would love to hear more about what you are doing now that you have left Stampin’ Up.
As for staying organized, I have a lot of shelving and cardboard boxes from Ikea.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:31 pmHiya! Love your videos. I’d love to win something. if not then ok. ^___^
November 15th, 2009 at 5:31 pmMe – Organized? ha — I can get close to something if I need to find it! hehe! Thanks for sharing your goods! — is there any “kraft cardstock” in the bundle? hehe!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:31 pmWOW, this is an amazing give away Congrats on the clean up, I would love to have this for christmas gift making. Your amazing
November 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pmWow…just discovered your blog today!! I will definitely be visiting it regularly!
I try and stay organized…I am constantly searching the web for new ideas. I recently came across a good way to store my ribbons. I have them organized by color and use a med. or large binder clip to keep them together and then hang the binder clip on book rings. I then have them hanging on a hook on the wall. That way I can see it all and I know what I have!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pmOoooo… that blog candy looks wonderful! Thanks so much for a chance to win so many goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pmHi, your giveaway is AWESOME! I would SO love to win!!! I stay organized in a couple of ways. I have the jetmax cubes for most of my scrap stuff and I also have some rubbermaid drawer towers. For current projects I use the scrapbook 12 x 12 cases from Michaels. This way I keep my items all together and I don’t have to hunt for stuff so much. When I finish a project, I put everything back. More recently, I swtiched my clear stamps to cd cases and I am IN LOVE with that. I looks so cool and easy to see things. Hope this was not too long. Thanks for this chance to win your excess stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pmMy craft space looks a lot like yours! But, I would LOVE to have the stuff in your clean out box :) I have been looking for some of those collections to no avail. Thanks for thinking of us!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:33 pmHi Kristina!!! I can´t believe you are giving away so many things!!! so generous! Well, I stay organized because I don´t have to many things but also I had everything in boxes so as not to have all my stuff everywhere.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:33 pmFingers crossed!
Hugs,
Agus
Wow!! That is soo very generous of you! I hope I win, but whoever does is one lucky crafter! Thanks for the chance to win this amazing prize!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:33 pmThanks for sharing your goodies. I try to organize when I just can’t stand the mess any longer or when I invite friends over to make cards with me.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:33 pmI’m still kind of a beginner at paper crafter so I don’t have much stuff to organize. I have a paper holder, a box for all my punches & essentials (bone folder, adhesive, etc.), and I store my inks on the top shelf of my closet…yeah, not much of a storage system (:
November 15th, 2009 at 5:33 pmOo, thanks for this!
So far the only organization I manage is lots of storage and dividing my paper by color. I need to improve. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:34 pmHi! Thanks for this great opportunity to replenish my craft supplies! What a great idea to share what you aren’t using with others. I am so blessed to have a DH who went to the local craft store who was going out of business and he bought their paper racks for me! I find if I can keep my paper organized, the rest isn’t so hard. I also have small totes I keep my supplies separated in. I think it is still a work in progress! thanks again!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:35 pmI wish I could answer how I stay organized. I have yet to find the solution! I do give lots of things away to a friend’s 9 year old. I find that helps, a lot!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:35 pmHi Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:36 pmOne thing I do to make sure I actually use the new products I buy is to keep brand new things in one drawer until I use them, then they go into the drawer, box, etc with like items. I’d love to win your stuff!
Hi Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:36 pmI pretty much have everything on open shelving so I can see what I have. I have a filing system for scraps, by color/theme. When I get too overwhelmed with stuff, I donate it to the school where I work. One of the teachers there has a scrapbook club for the kids and they love when I come by with papers and stickers and other goodies!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Kara
Hi I absolutely love your videos, I have been scrapping and making cards for about 7 years now, but I havent done any or bought any new stuff since march this year due to a huge uppheaval in my family. But i still organise my stuff constantly LoL. I have cupboards with individual shelves for each brand of paper I have, I have a cupboard just for my stamps, and I have a pink bookcase right where I can see it with all my shelves of flowers and buttons and stuff. I also have my cricut expression set up on my desk and a pinbard for all my packets of embellies etc so I can see them when im doing cards etc, so they get used. Your work is inspirational and your a beautiful person and very generous :) good luck to everyone
November 15th, 2009 at 5:36 pmWow! You sure have some cleanin’ to do… I totally get that feeling!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:36 pmFor me, the organization happens when I am using a one-touch system. When I use something or buy something or win something (smiles) – I make sure to put it away as soon as I’m done. That way I only touch it once!
As far as where it goes – that inspiration comes from all you great bloggin’ queens on the ‘net – your ideas constantly craft and create my space!
So, thanks for all the great ideas! And (hopefully) for the great BIG box of goodies!
I keep all of my supples organized by theme in 14×14 plastic containers. It helps for doing pages at crops too because Ivan just grab a theme and go!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:37 pmwow so much yummy stuff! I think the reason my craft supplies stay organized is because I don’t have that many, lol.
And since I’m kinda OCD and the sight of a unorganized desk is awful to me, I got the habit to organize everything right after I make something (because if I don’t do it right away, I will get lazy later :p)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmI will be the first to admit that my office is the messiest room in the house and I have no intention of cleaning it anytime soon – at least, not before Christmas. The only thing I really try to do in order to stay organized is to have different stations for each thing that I’m into. For instance, I have my computer and work stuff in one area, scrapbooking in another, stamping in another, and my son’s toys in another. I do work hard to keep it all separate so even though the areas are pretty messy, at least I know where to go when I need a stamping thing (for instance.)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmWow! You are so generous! All of these goodies look amazing! How I stay organized: A desk that used to hold all of my papers and other things for school is now filled with stamps, paper, and embellishments! I TRY to keep things in their proper drawers, but of course that doesn’t always happen :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmI like to keep a notebook with every color, ink pad, sticker and stamp that I have. I have also started storing everything in cubes which I have started collecting in order to organize my room. I love your videos so keep them coming!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmSometimes I think I spend more time organizing than I do actually doing projects–LOL! I’m pretty organized by nature but I am easily led astray by “new organization ideas” that I read about and think “wow, that’s a great idea, I think I’ll do that instead” My plain cardstock is organized by colour in a rolling cart. My husband found some neat racks that hang on the back of the door so I use them for all decorative paper. He also made me a rack for all my inkpads, embossing stuff etc. I continually purge stamp sets by passing them along to family and friends and I list stuff fairly regularly on Craig’s List so I can justify buying more….which makes perfect sense to me although my husband seems a little confused by the logic!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmThanks, Kristina, for offering such a great prize–I promise it will all be WELL used if I win!
Wow what a great giveaway!!! I love your blog and check pretty much everyday. Thanks so much for providing so much inspiration for me :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmCool giveaway!
My craft room stays organised if I have not been in my craft room:) Seriously though I have scrap drawers for each colour of scrap and patterned paper is separate. That way I will actually be able to find scrap in a particular colour when I need it. Also I have a drawer next to my work space that I put things away in. When it gets full I empty it by putting the items back in the right place in the craft room. I also have some really cool wall racks for my inkpads and ribbons. The items I use the most.
Organising a craft room is quite personal as it depends on your work style and your favourite ‘must have’ products in your projects. I tend to have the products I use most nearest to me so it is easier to put back too.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmI stay organized (ha!) with a couple paper racks I bought from a local scrapbook store that (unfortunately) went out of business and lots of plastic drawers and magazine files from Ikea. I try to make a spot for like items not worrying too much about perfection or I’d never have time to play I’d only be organizing. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway! Love seeing your work, always lovely!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmthe organizational tip that i use that i am most proud of is a hanging shoe organizer. My punches(among other things) fit perfectly into each slot….LOVE it! Thanks for the chance to win all of this, it is so very nice of you!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pmHi Kristina,
I try and stay organized by trying to purge my supplies every 3 months. I usually give them to a local elementary school. They are always very
appreciative and the children love art class!!
I have watched some of your videos on you tube and I love them.
Linda
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmMy motto is don’t put it down, put it away!!! HA! HA! I do try and put things back before starting another project. However, when I am interrupted, I just leave things the way they are.
Your creativity is so inspiring — keep up the good work.
Blessings
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmOh Kristina, I’m sorry to say that I am pretty much super messy. And it’s a shame, too, because I stole my dining room and turned it into my craft room. And it’s the first thing you see when you come in my front door. I long for a wall or door I can close. It’s pitiful. But I promise, that if I do win this big box of goodies, that you are so graciously giving away, that I will clean up enough to put everything away. Just no promises as to how long it stays clean. Deal? Ok, here’s to hoping I win! And thanks!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmI love your videos and your work!
I found that if I put things away as soon as I am done using them it helps my area stay tidy. I do get lazy from time to time and then end up with a big stack of things that need to find their home again… this is when I find goodies too :) I am still on the hunt for a way to organize my pattern paper- I am at a loss with this one…
I would love to win your clean up goody box – what a great prize and how generous of you!

November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmHey Kristina
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmDoesn’t it feel so good to organize! You can check out how I stay organized here: http://starrmercer.blogspot.com/2009/10/project-365-1012.html
Just completed my fresh new craft space not too long ago…it was well worth the planning and the wait.
Happy Sunday!
Starr
you are proboblly one of the most generous bloggers… its so sweet of you to do all of those blogg give aways….i know my scrap stash could always use more products…thanks for the chance…
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmfingers crossed
Oh my goodness, what a huge job ya got goin! I am not organized at the moment but have a work in progress. I have some of the white modular cubes that I am storing paper in and most of my embellishments are in decorative boxes. As I said its a work in progress and I have a kiddo box that I purge into so my nieces have thier own stash of supplies when they come over to craft with me!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmFirst wonderful giveway!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pmI “TRY” to stay organized by always putting things back after I use them but that never really happens.. I use alot of shelfs
I love all your videos. Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:40 pmWow, look at all these comments! I try to stay organized by only keeping what I love, and staying within the boundaries of my craft space (a half of a small room in my home). I hope I win!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:40 pmThank you so much for the give-away! :) I have one giant box that is falling apart where I keep my scrap booking paper and stickers. I really need to get some kind of plastic bins. I don’t have alot though so that kind of helps.
Maria
November 15th, 2009 at 5:40 pmI attempt to stay organized with my rolling craft cart, but a lot of it still ends up on my desk anyway! I also keep some clear bins handy for ribbons, stamp pads, and embellishments. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:41 pmHi Kristina,
Staying organized is tough….it seems when I’m done with a project, the craft area is turned upside down …again. I organize by grouping like items together in bins, boxes, drawers. Just keeping them group together helps me a lot. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. I love reading your blog. It’s so inspiring.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:42 pmToo cool! I stay organized by constantly going through my supplies and pulling out anything I haven’t used in a while!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmwow! how generous you are! goodness… well i try to stay organized by having a drawer/bin/container for everything and everything in its drawer/bin/container, hehe. I’m one of those people that likes to clean up after every card, or at least at the end of each crafting session, otherwise I can’t think!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmAs I’ve just moved over to the other side of Australia my craft room is a huge mess. I’m hoping to have everything organised one day!! Thanks for the chance to win and letting international people apply.
Thanks,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmAdele
My tip for staying organized is…..just accept living in craft room ciaos….I have tried to stay tidy, but I just can’t do it. The more I think about it, the more it stresses me out…so now I just live with it. A couple of clear bins and my label maker my life a little easier, but other than that….crazy crafting ciaos it where it’s at!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmWhat an awesome giveaway! It seems like the only way for me to stay organized is to de-clutter my counters and desk every day or else too much piles up and it gets overwhelming.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmKristina – first of all, thank you so much for the opportunity to win this generous give away. I am a highly organized person. I was born that way and I just can’t help it. my favorite ways to organize are finding storage bins so that everything has a place. and also putting everything away after I’m finished using it. It’s a pain to have to take everything out before I get ready to create, but it’s nice to start out fresh before every project!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmHey Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 5:43 pmI am still following you on your blog. Your video’s on monday’s and friday’s and now even every day during the week. I look out for them.
Thank you for doing that. For all the great ideas!!!
Miranda
You are so generous and talented…Great Giveaway!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pmThank you for the chance to win.
I stay organized by placing things in boxes and label them. Each box has things grouped together by company or the type of product. This makes it easy for me to put it away where it belongs. What an awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pmI try to stay organized by printing out lists of things and sticking the lists to the right area. It doesn’t work, usually… but I try!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pmHi Kristina! Thank you soooo much for the opportunity to win this box of amazing stuff – I was salivating while watching your video :)
I try to stay organized by having a place for everything (labeled) in the craft room…however I have a bit of trouble keeping everything in its place – especially when I’m creating! So I have been trying to spend some time every day creating and organizing – just to keep on top of it! I have to say that organizing in the craft room is a lot more fun than cleaning the bathrooms or the kitchen! :) Thanks again!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pmI stay organized by constantly checking out what IKEA has to offer! It has been a lifesaver for me!
I love you blog, and your website! You are truly talented!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:45 pmI stay organzied because my mum makes me sort out my room every week >.>
November 15th, 2009 at 5:46 pmI’ve used many different types of organizing tools in hopes of getting organized. I use magazine files for storing packs of paper, Sterlite drawers for punches, scissors, ribbons, etc. I still have a long way to go…but would love to have more stuff to add to my stash.
Wow the number of people leaving comments is crazy!!!! My chances are diminishing every second!
Thanks for being such an inspiration Kristina.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:46 pmHello Kristina,
How I try to stay organize, especially when I have such a small space to craft, I try to take what I need out first and cleaning up a lot after each project, putting all my things back in place, so that it doesn’t get clutter or messy. Even though I do that sometimes it still gets really messy so I try to organize things that I used most often on my desk or close by so that I don’t have to take out so much stuff. Yeah but thanks for the chance to win and I look forward to watching your videos all the time.
<3, Stacy
November 15th, 2009 at 5:47 pmWhat an awesome giveaway. I love seeing all that goodness and think it is great to pass it on. I enjoy your videos and find them soooo inspiring. Please, keep it up!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmLots of yummy goodies, I think I love them all. Thank you so much for sharing!! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI watch your videos all the time and love that you always come up with such new and innovative cards. It never occurred to me the amount of product that you would have accumulated to keep everything so different. All I can say is WOW! I can’t believe even with all of the stuff that you had in the box your desk was still overflowing with stuff!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmWow what a great giveaway. You buy and use the cutest papers and stamps. I’m sure you have great stuff to give away.
I try to stay organized by having everything in it’s place and accessible so I can see it and be inspired by it. I have open selving {Large Expedit from IKEA} and shelving on the walls.
Thanks so much.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI just happened upon your blog about a month ago. I just started making my own cards and I love your series make a card monday! Your website is fantastic and you have great ideas!
I’m in the midst of organizing all my card stock and stamps into storage bins and baskets and labelling everything for easy access.
I would love to win your wonderful box of goodies :)
Keep up the great videos!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmMy only comment on how to stay organized is clean up after each project. If i’m working on a layout, as soon as that layout is done, I clean every scrap up & put each product away before I start my next layout or next project. If I’m ever in a rush & don’t do that, my area looks like a hurricane it it! Thanks for the opportunity to win your goodies! I LOVE YOUR BLOG!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:48 pmOm My Goodness. Way too cool. I try to stay organized by going through my goodies every once in a while. Anything I haven’t used I pull out and keep it on my desk, I usually find a way to use it. I also store my holiday supplies in a bin marked for each holiday. When that holiday is approaching I pull it out. This way my everyday stuff isn’t overflowing.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:49 pmvery awesome giveaway, I love everything you showed on the video, I really wish to be the lucky one to win your yummy gifts.
To keep my crafts organize, I just have a separate storage for everything, papers, embellishment, and other tools. And I try to put everything back on its proper place as soon as I finish using it or as soon as I finish a project.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:49 pmGreat blog! I’d love to win a load of crafty goodness!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:49 pmI’m afraid I organize more than I stamp!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pm-ink pads in corrigated boxes with shelves http://www.motherrubber.com/InkPadPalace.html
-stamps unmounted in 3″ binders
-ribbon on spools in corrigated boxes turned side ways with wooden dowels through the slots.
-cardstock – cropper hoppers
- tools, stickers, embells – target drawers
I buy and store, buy and store, buy and store!
What a great giveaway – you are so generous!! I try to stay organized with my Expidit shelf from IKEA. It’s the perfect size for 12 x 12 “stuff” and it looks great too!! Love all the holiday card videos lately. Super cute ideas!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pmWhat a giveaway!!! I am awful at staying organized. I use a bunch of plastic bins that I try to separate, but it always ends up into a mangled pile on my desk. I usually just give what I no longer want to my kids..they always look forward to that! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pmI try to stay organized by putting all the papers that coordinate together. Unfortunately, I don’t do a very good job. I tend to pull stuff out and then not put it away for a few days/weeks. lol! I would love to get organized and plan on working on it during my Christmas Break.
I love your videos and all the creativity.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Beverly
November 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pmI just started watching your tutorials not that long ago and I’m hooked. Thanks so much for your inspiring ideas. I’ve learned a lot!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pmFor stickers, I cut them a part and keep the stickers in clear plastic organizers and store in a notebook sorted by type of sticker (flower, words, seasonal, etc.) For ribbon, I use Ball jars sorted by color that sit on a shelf above my work space. Wood stamps are stored in clear containers. For the stuff I use the most, those stay in a carosel on my desk. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I win. It would be awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh, what a generous and amazing giveaway!!! I have to tell you, that my daughter (she’s 5) and I are completely addicted to your videos on youtube. She always wants to watch yours over and over again. Thank so much for sharing your talents with the rest of us! You’re an inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pmI try to organize my scrap room at least once and month and so the same thing as you…give to those in need. I have lots of teacher friends so I usually donate to them to use in the classroom. Thanks for the give away Kristina! You are amazing.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pmHey Kristina,
How do I clean up or keep things clean? Well, I let things pile up, and pile up and then when I can’t stand it any longer…I take a break from stamping and just clean. I can usually clean in an hour or two, but that is what I do. I wish I would clean as I work, but alas, I do not. ha
Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodies.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pmWinthrop
Hi Kristina,
Love watching your videos. I look forward to seeing each new card you create.
To stay organized I try to keep everything in one place. I have many containers and bags. One of my favourites are the Tim Holtz junkitz bags I purchase a few years ago for all of my small embellies.
Here’s hopin’ this is the lucky comment.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pmI look forward to your videos every week. I have a room full of everything. I have started organizing it better so I can keep up with what I have. I love new gadgets and enjoy when friends and family get my handmade cards. They look forward to getting cards from me because they dont know what to expect. Thanks for showing me and others your enjoyement of making and brightening someones day.
Much success…….
November 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pmHow very generous of you. Awesome!
I keep my craft space organized by grouping products category. And also i clean my craft space at least once a week like im having a visitor.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWow Kristina, this is so generous of you! What a fun box to get in the mail! Thanks for the opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWow, all that stuff would be amazing to have. In saying that, the way that I organize all my scrapbooking stuff, or keep it organized is I have numerous plastic drawers and containers in a few shelves. From those, everything is divided and labeled, especially paper and stickers and rubons. I have all my paper sorted by color and pattern.I always have the products I use the most like scissors, tape or punches right close so I don’t have to go looking for them.
This would be fantastic to win! :D Thanks for the opportunity.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWow…good luck going through all of these comments! I stay organized by making sure that everything has a place…if it doesn’t, that’s where I lose it!
Crossing my fingers!! :)
Lindsay
November 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pmWOW this is quite a fabulous box of yummy goodies!!!!
Thank you for the chance to win.
I try to keep organized by storing like items together….flowers, ribbons, birthday, holiday,,,,,,,etc.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:53 pmOMG!! Look at all that stuff. Awesome! One woman’s trash is another women’s treasure. We should all do this.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:53 pmI only have a little corner of my college apartment to make cards, and most of my things are out of reach in a super tiny bedroom that I share with my sister, so what I do is rotate out things every once in a while, and force myself to purge things if I end up not using it. I also go through my stuff pretty regularly-sometimes you forget all the good stuff you have!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:53 pmI have a closet in my extra bedroom and try to keep everything tidy within those parameters. If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t stay. Tough, I know, but if I don’t draw the line with myself, it can get pretty crazy!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:54 pmOh, i would love to win your goodies! We have very similar tastes in product so i know i could use your stash. I use a lot of Cropper Hopper to store my paper and embellishments and i have a Clip-It. When i buy new stuff I store it in a 12X12″ Iris plastic case until i can put it away. Thanks for sharing!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:55 pmOh my word, that is a huge purge! I don’t have anywhere near as much stuff to organise, but what I do with loose patterned paper is put it in sheet protectors and into a ring binder so I can easily see what I have. Embossing powders, brads, small ink cubes etc are kept in plastic boxes with compartments. My alphabet sticker packs are strung across the wall in front of my desk so I can see them all. Most of the time though, stuff is spread out all over my room till I get sick of the mess and put it away :)
November 15th, 2009 at 5:55 pmSince I am not a demo for any of the scrapbooking companies, I disassemble my various rubber stamp sets and store them in 12×12 white opaque plastic paper containers according to categories. Some of my categories are: LOVE & FAMILY; BIRTHDAY & THANKS; BACKGROUNDS & SHAPES; GOD & COUNTRY; SEASONS; HOLIDAYS; JOURNALING, etc.
My clear acrylic stamps are stored in clear plastic dvd cases, which are deeper than can be found locally. And, the cases are stored in large opaque containers.
I try to store most of my supplies in large opaque containers according to type: stickers; brads; 3-D; floral; ribbon, etc.
I will just be HAPPY HAPPY to find a “home” for your extra goodies, Kristina!!
What a FUN giveaway!!!

November 15th, 2009 at 5:56 pmWow…So generous!! that’s wuite the give away…. I don’t have enough stuff to worry about much organization…. but everything you have looks gorgeous… love all those glitter paper packs.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:57 pmThank you so much for giving all of this away. I LOVE your blog and look forward to EVERY MACM and Finally Friday (and now holiday cards every day!! :) My craft room is actually pretty organized if I keep up with it. I try to clean up what I’ve used in my craft room after every crafting session. That doesn’t always happen though, so right now my craft room is a HUGE mess. Thanks again!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:57 pmwow, one scrapper’s trash is another scrapper’s treasure. i want!

I have to craft in my bedroom, so it’s super important for me to stay organized. I make sure that my craft area is clean before and after each time I craft. This way, I force myself to clean before I make anything. This was difficult to get into the habit of doing, but it makes everything so much more fun. I also try to keep like things together, and purge on a consistent basis. I always have students who are more than willing to take my extras!
November 15th, 2009 at 5:57 pmThanks for posting the video it is great.
I try to stay organized but I know there is room for improvemtn. i did a major reorganization last month and it has helped tremendously.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:58 pmI use the plastic stackable drawers mostly and sense I do a lot of holiday scrapping, I have paper and also embellishemtns seoerated (making 2 drawers per holiday. I have Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Easter, fall and winter. I also have 2 drawers for wedding because there have been 2 weddings in the last year in my family and another one next year. I also finally seperataed all my swap items, by photo mats/frsmes, tags, journal boxes, etc and they are all in their own space unless they fit to one of the above categories. I also keep my stacks of paper pads together and another drawer for individual sheets I’ve bought or collected for the non seasonal/holiday layouts I make.
Keep up the good work and great help for all of your fellow scrappers
Hi Kristina, I recently found your blog and I just love love love it, your amazing and all the lovely stash you have, I live in Ireland and its hard to find regular card making stuff, I always have to buy online. I try to keep my craft stuff in lots of plastic and metal drawers all labelled. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:59 pmTake care Bernie xx
omg! what a generous giveaway. i am constantly organizing. i love my expedit shelves from ikea and i have baskets and boxes and jars full of goodies. i try to clean up after each scrap/card session so i don’t get overwhelmed. thanks again!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pmWell, with 794 entries the odds of me actually winning are slim to none; but why not try right?! I really just try to adhere to the motto “a place for everything and everything in its place.” I don’t have a whole lot of room for my scrapping/stamping stuff, so I do try to make sure that I keep everything separated. Punches in one container, paper organized, Ribbon in another container. The Clip it up helps for my embellishments etc. I use the plastic shoe box containers for my stamps with the labels on the outside of it so I know what set is in which box.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pmGood luck everyone!
This is such a great thing to do!!! I wish I had a space completely of my own to go to…right now I have a tall gray storage cabinet I bought from lowes to house all of my supplies in..but the hard thing is when I go to create something my things are all over the place, but I am grateful to have a place to put things up out of sight. I love your creations are can’t wait to see what you come up with..and I want a clip it up really bad!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pmI attempt to stay organized by keeping all my stamps, etc. in Rubbermaid plastic bins. Since I don’t have a craft room, I have to keep it all in my entryway closet :(
November 15th, 2009 at 6:01 pmI “try” and stay organized by doing what you just did (cleaning and purging) about 2ce a year. I participate in a local LSS yard sale and then donate whatever doesnt sell.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:01 pmHi Kristina!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:02 pmBecause of my current living situation (I live with my boyfriend and his parents while we renovate our house) I don’t actually have a lot of my own space, so what I have done is taken over the cupboard in the spare room. I’ve put some shelves in, and they are the perfect size to stack my 12×12 papers in, and I have some other littler things in baskets and some of my stamps in baskets. I also have like an industrial kind of tool box that my boyfriend gave me, which has little drawers all in it, so I have my 6×6 papers, my ink pads and also random tools like scissors and punches and stuff in it as well. It’s pretty easy to keep it all organized, because everything has its own place!
Thanks for being so awesome! I really love your work!
that’s some box!!! YOU ROCK!!
I don’t really stay all that organized, other than keeping stamps together, and embellishments in the same corner. I have a bin on my desk that has all my “currently being used” things so I can just reach out and grab them!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:02 pmHi miss K.
I am a card maker and the way I keep my supplies organized is by using those photo boxes you can buy at Michaels. For my stamps, I have them divided by type, ie: Holiday, sentiments, borders, etc. I then have an image of each stamp in a binder that has corresponding sections. Every time I buy a new stamp, I log it in my book.
I also have a binder in which I keep an image of each punch I have.
I find that by doing this, I don’t go and buy something that I already have.
For my paper, I have 12×12 clear boxes that hold the pads of paper I buy, they are also labled.
Finally, I have friends who volunteer with an after school art program so they get items from me quarterly….my rule is “If I haven’t used it in a year, out it goes.”
Thanks for the chance to win this generous prize. I have said it before, I will say it again…you inspire me.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:03 pmWowzas! That box of goodies is like Christmas :) I find it really hard to keep organized because I use the kitchen table for crafting so I am always hauling stuff around. My supplies are in every nook and cranny in the house, but I do try to keep like stuff together- a box for ribbon, a drawer for paper…. you get the idea. I love your blog, you are a real inspiration.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:03 pmChrissy
Kristina,
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmYou inspire and wow me with every project…thank you for your videos and tutorials! I am pretty organized because I have only been addicted to all things “scrappy” for about 6 months. As I move forward, it is my intention to dedicate a larger space to my hobby and shop at IKEA where there are lots of storage solutions for a reasonable price. We are a military family, so moving often helps me to purge as well. Thanks so much for all you do :-).
Wow~~ thank you so much for giving out those wonderful products~~!
I try to sort all my pattern paper in colour and brand, and I buy lots of clear plastic 12×12 cases in michaels. I put all my clear stamps in one big clear plastic box, and all other tools in the other one.
I love your videos and your work !
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmvery elegant and simple~ :)
Hi Kristina,
I love your videos! I use a lot of your ideas and make cards for my friends at the nursing home I volunteer at. They really like the cards!
I keep my craft room organized by stations. I have a cricut/cutting station, stamping station, embellishment station, and a work station. I try to put everything away after I use it, but sometimes I get a little lazy… Anyways, I hope I win :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmWow – what a great give away. Thanks so much for all your inspiration. I love all your tutorials/videos.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmWhat fun! I hate to admit it but my idea of scrappy organization consists of large bins…although I’ve got some binders going for my clear stamps, which is a miracle :-)
My digital stuff on the other hand, it’s madly organized by designer!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmoh my god, i cant believe you have so much things you’re giving away! It’s like a huge christmas gift (:
I’d love to win and make lots and lots of things with them, it would be fun (:
thanks for the chance!
Mandy
November 15th, 2009 at 6:04 pmOh my!!!!!! I can not believe you are giving all of that away.
My attempt of staying organized is all in how I scrap. I have most things that I use near me, that is why my space always looks cluttered. I have the cubes for paper, shelves for stamps, Cuttlebug, and Bind it All. It is always a work in progress. I use what I have to store things.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. They are an inspiration to us all.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:05 pmI love your videos… I learn so much from them.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:05 pmI love the clean, stream style style of your cards:)
As for my scrap-booking organization, I use the clear plastic totes from Wal-Mart. No specific method.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a generous gift!
I keep my craft stuff organized by using the stack of drawers.. like some people use for these make up on youtube…and i have 3 drawers of ribbin cording and stuff… and all that good stuff… i went to walmart and bought a paper towel holder and put ribben on that also..
November 15th, 2009 at 6:05 pmI always clear the table between projects, LO, cards whatever. I find that it only takes a second to put stuff away and I can get going on the next thing. This also makes for really easy clean up at the end of the crafting session!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:06 pmLove your videos and never miss one!
Gloria
I “clean up” once a week. Every Monday I put things away and start stamping again. By Saturday, my room looks like a tornado hit it. So, on Monday, I start fresh, again. It’s nice to sit down to a clean desk and try new ideas. Thanks for sharing and I’d love to win your “scraps”!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:06 pmWow! I would love to receive a package like that in the mail!!!!!!!!! I would think all my Christmas’ had come at once. You are so kind to even think of doing such a lovely thing. Thanks for all your tutorials, they are wonderful and very inspirational…….x
November 15th, 2009 at 6:07 pmHoly cow! Talk about a giveaway!!! I’d sure love to win those stamps (and everything else!)…how do I stay organized? Lots of containers and I clean up after each project…well, I try to at least! Thanks for the chance to win!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:07 pmWow, how generous of you. As for organization, I don’t have to worry about it too much since I don’t have a whole lot of room to, but I love the craft carts with 7 drawers and on wheels and I also love vertical paper storage.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:07 pmI attempt to stay organized by grouping all my crafting things.
So all my stamp sets are organized by companies on a book shelf, and then within their little groupings they are organized by everyday sets, sentiment sets, and holiday sets.
My dp is just all in a bin and I flip through it.
My cardstock is all sorted by color in hanging folders.
My biggest and most unorganized issue is scrap paper. I just leave it in a huge heap on my desk and then dig through and it all falls over, and I have to spend time stacking it back into a heap. LOL Any ideas for scraps would be marvelous.
All my essentials tools, adhesive, scissors, cutter etc. have a permanent spot on my desk.
I like you also have a basket I put my new goodies in so I can play with them before putting them away and forgetting about them!
Thanks for offering such a generous prize, whoever gets it will be one happy crafter and I wish them luck with their organization of it all. LOL
November 15th, 2009 at 6:08 pmTry to stay organized by doing a tidy up but to be honest – the cleaning session is often precipitated by not being able to find something.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:08 pmI get frustrated – and usually the only way I can find it is by taking the time to clean and reorganize.
Mary-Jane
I love your tutorials and now a truly amazing giveaway!! Thank you!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:08 pmWow! Thank you for being so generous Kristina! God bless you for having such a kind heart.
I stay organised by cleaning my desk off every night. It means I always have a clean area to come back to. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pmI TRY to stay organized by putting things away after I use them, but that generally lasts about 2 – 3 days, then it’s back to piling things on top of each other so I have space to cut, stamp, etc. I have good intentions, though!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pmI have to admit, I am a bit of a messy papercrafter. If I have everything put away in its place, then I forget to use it! I do, however, try to stay organized by using a lot of storage items from Ikea. Thanks for sharing with us every week. Your projects are very inspiring!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pmI am not a very organized person. Everything is everywhere but I just always know where because I know where I dropped it. When I do clean though I have drawers that I got at target and have a place for everything. I also make sure I clean when I know people are coming over.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pmWow! You have such amazing things! I love your videos and you whole crafting style! It really is generous of you to share it with your viewers! I have really been needing some new scrapbooking supplies since I can’t really afford it right now :/
So this would be a blessing if I won all of this! :) Thank you so much! Love your videos and keep up the creativity!!
–Ashley
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pmI stay organized with clear plastic boxes, that way everything is safe and I can find what I want quickly. thanks.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:11 pmWow there are so many comments on this one. LOL OK here is how I *try* to stay organized.
I have a cabinet with shelves for all my papers. Drawers for all my embellishments sorted by categories. I have a table just for my Sizzix, lots of boxes for organizing this and that. Really, it works for now but I could use a professional organizer. LOL
Thanks for having this giveaway. You are amazing!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:12 pmOhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … this box REALLY needs to come to my house! What I would do for such pretty paper! Love your blog! Thanks for the opportunity!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:12 pmI try to stay organized but it never stays that way. I think I work best with a lot of clutter around. Even at school, my desk is littered with stuff. This looks like an awesome package to win. Whomever wins will really enjoy it.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:13 pmThanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Cool stuff! I *try* to stay organized by labeling my drawers and containers. It works great – if I put the products back in them. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:14 pmwow! this is an awesome give-a-way!!! I *try* try to stay organized by using hooks hanging on rails, I hook all my stickers up and hang them, I also have Cropper Hopper folder things for my open stock paper/cardstock.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:14 pmyou are already share so much, to think your are sharing more!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:14 pmKeeping my fingers crossed!
Really enjoying the holiday card videos each day, it is my daily treat.
Jennifer
I just went through the lovely scrapbook room clean up with my mom, it took three days! haha. It was well worth it though, found things I didn’t even know I had, yay for organization!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:14 pmIts funny that your cleaning your craft room today, since I’ve been trying to clean and reorganize my craft room all weekend! I’ve started about 8 times and keep getting sidetracked! Anyways, I love your cards and all the work that you put into creating all these great videos for us! Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
November 15th, 2009 at 6:14 pmAmy P :)
Holy Cow! That’s a big box! I keep my things organized by having lots of different sized boxes to separate crafting items into. For example: I have 12×12 boxes for my 12×12 paper and I have shoe boxes to put my loose crafting tools into. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:15 pmI just bought the expedit bookcases and have put everything in a cubbie. If it doesn’t have a place in one of the cubbie then it doesn’t have a home and I give it away.
Thanks for being generous and the great giveaway the winner will be very lucky.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:15 pmWow.. I would love to win all your goodies! I love your videos and blog. My kids and I could really stay busy for awhile crafting. Thank you for offering it. It going to make someone a great Christmas gift!! You are so nice to do this. Thanks again!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pmWhat a fantastic giveaway! In terms of organization, I group similar items on dedicated storage shelves (cardstock/paper), in box files (coluzzle templates, etc.), stacked boxes (stamps sets, inks, punches) and drawers (ribbon, buttons, adhesives) all from IKEA. I have one random paper scraps box and two memorabilia/photo boxes for stuff to be scrapped.
I was so happy just to have the 25 days of cards videos (so much to enjoy!). Just when I thought i couldn’t get better….. thanks for the chance to win all this good stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pmHi Kristina! Wow, this is really nice!
I stay organized by seperating everything and putting them in boxes of drawers. (Ex. patterened paper in one, cardstock in another, tools in one, ect.) I know where everthing is and I can get to them easily.
Thank you so much for this generous offer! You have some very nice things :)
– Ashley
November 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pmAlrighty, so to stay organized, I try to not have TOO much stuff and constantly weed stuff out . . . and yet I would still love to win your great box of stuff. It all looks great, but I’m an especially big fan of anything basic gray!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:17 pmThanks,
Shana
Wow! Your rock! My most recent attempt at organization involves red and black Ikea cardboard boxes, and grouping thinigs of the same type into the boxes. Greatly increases my available space, and I can just pull the box I need for whatever project.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:18 pmKristina -
Thanks or the wonderful opportunity to win such a great box of goodies!
I have a ton of stuff that I share with my freinds … we get together and craft at least 3 times a month and sometimes more. I have most of my stuff in IRIS carts. I did take the doors off the closet and have hooks on the clothes rod with lots of clear paint cans with goodies inside. Makes it easy to find stuff. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
November 15th, 2009 at 6:18 pmKimberly
This is an awesome giveaway!!!
I keep organize with my card making stuff by putting it all in a big box and ribbons, stamps and other small items in clear bags. Is not super organize but I don’t have a lot of things so it works for the time being.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:18 pmWOW – what a stash! I try to keep on top of the clutter by having my drawers and bins labeled, and ideally i put everything back at the end of a crafting session. It doesn’t always happen that way – especially with paper scraps for some reason, but I try!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:19 pmHoly Cow!! That is a ton of stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pmI stay organized by putting away all supplies at the end of each day. That way there is never a pile on my desk when I start with another project.
Thanks for sharing your talents!
Being a newbie to cardmaking, I would LOVE to win a box of goodies. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love your videos…You make card making look so easy. Thanks for the inspiration
November 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pmI just did the same thing this weekend! I organized my scrap corner and it took forever! My attempt on staying organized starts with a tower of drawers that I organize my scraps of paper in by color. That tower is nice and handy but doesn’t come in hand when I travel to scrap.
All my kits are organized in an old old old CM hanging file box, that way all the matching stuff is together.
The rest of the mismatched papers and embellishments are in various containers/boxes and jars.
I have my paper and cardstock in cropper hopper clear paper holders.
I did crack down and got a Making Memories embellishment center that hangs on my wall to hold all my ribbon.
All my fibers are in old Coke bottles. You can see some pictures of that here
All my letter stickers are in an accordion file organized by color.
My stamping inks are in a Sterilite plastic container and all my stamps are totally unorganized in a plastic tub with no lid. I will soon have a new system for my stamps but that will come with my next paycheck.
All my Cricut Cartridges are organized in a binder with photo sleeves.
I have diecuts in a box that I decopauged a while ago, and I never use them because I never see them.
I put all my prima flowers in some Sterilite clear plastic tubs, I’ll get around to organizing them by color some day.
You can see some more of my organization there is much more but there are a few pictures here
Dang I sound pretty organized, too bad when I go to find things I have no clue where anything is =) Thanks for the chance!! I love your blog so much <3
November 15th, 2009 at 6:21 pmI attempt to stay orginized by one word…..IKEA! Where would I be with out it! I hang all of my punches for a long metal rod, I hang all of my scissors from s hooks, and ribbons from BYGEL baskets. I love it! And I would love to win goodies from you! ; )
November 15th, 2009 at 6:21 pmAttempt is the operative word. I liked the reasons you gave for your cleanup-Staying fresh is a good thought. I have purged a lot lately and been donating to schools. Given the current state of the economy, they are hurting for all kinds of supplies. My only hint is I take pictures of what’s inside boxes I can’t see through and tape on the outside. It’s proved to be a real help to my senior brain.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:21 pmWow! besides creative you are generous … I would certainly love to get that in the mail.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pmHow do I get organized?…Oh My ! I swear I try… my whole house is pretty organized but my craft room……anyway I know where everything is …. when I get to the point that I can’t stand it anymore….I start putting everything away and I always end up, at the end of the day, taking half of the stuff back out to start a new project. Thank you so much for your tutorials, very much appreciated. keep them coming. (Canada)
Hi Kristina! At 1st, I’d like to say I always enjoy visiting your blog and thanks for sharing your ideas with us. 2nd, to keep my place crean, I try to put things back where it’s need to be put it away ASAP! I know that is hard part, but if you wait till later(which is i think that’s human nature :) ) that would cause you ending up with mess! *O* At last, thanks for the GREAT giveaway! You are so kind!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pmI am always trying to stay organized, whether I ever truly suceed is the question. I have trays for paper jars for buttons and flowers, I have a big old crock that holds all my loose ribbon pieces and I have the ikea towel bars to hold my punches. I am always interested in new organizational ideas also. Thanks for the chance to win candy!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:23 pmwow! what a box. How I try to keep org. My hubby made me a big bench with shelves. I try to keep everything in its placebut sometimes it just gets out of control..
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmWow Kristina! You are really generous with your stash… I must admit that organisation is not my strong point. I am FORCED to put things away and tidy at least 3 times a day as my stash is currently 3 bookcases next to the dining table. Unfortunately my family demands food on a regular basis interrupting my crafting! How dare they!? But I do have a pile in a corner (that grows to dizying heights) of half finished projects, when it gets to looking like it could crush a small person I sort and disassemble the mountain. Gosh! If I won your stash where would I put it!!! HUNNNI, can we move to a bigger house please!…. ; )
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmoh…this is awesome. so generous of you. the way i stay organzied is by going through my stuff all the time and getting rid of stuff i don’t use. thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmIt’s always good to purge and you have to do it to stay organized but it can be sooooooo hard!!!! I I have a container by the door dedicated to purged stash items. As I’m working on projects and come across something I know I won’t use or go through all my items and look for things, I put it in that basket. It gets put in a plastic bag and tied up and put in the car THAT DAY!! I can’t give myself time to “rescue” anything. I donate all the stuff to a place that does art therapy with sexually abused children. It makes it ALOT easier to let go of things knowing they’ll be used for something so good!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmWOW WOW WOW!!! What a fantastic RAK! The ONLY way I can stay organized is if I put EVERYTHING away at least once a week. Stamps back in their spot, all ink pads back in their holder upside down with the dauber thing on top. ALL the tools back in their spots all the carts back in their boxes and on their shelf. All the scraps of paper in with their color file folder, etc! :-)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmNoelle
OMG, how generous of you!! Thanks so much for doing this for all of us.
I stay organized with some plastic bins that came out of a tool chest. We need the chests at work to carry around some laptop batteries but had no need for the bins, well I snagged them up as soon as I could. They are perfect for holding all of my tools, adhesive and whatever else I can fit in them. When I need the item in the bin I just take them the bin to my work area and then put it back in the cabinet when I done. I love them!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmKristina: WOW–this is so generous of you. My 7-year-old daughter is your biggest fan!!!! She’s loving your Holiday Card series and the biggest treat for her is when you have the new video of the day posted before she leaves for school at 8:55 Central Time. She makes great cards with white faux stitching (love the Signo Uniball pen) and I recently searched all over to get the two BG stamp sets you featured for her, the cupcake and the cup of tea ones. If we WIN, we promise to post layouts and cards on the blog using your goodies! Thanks and have a great day.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pmYour blog is one of my very favorites. I’m loving the cards every day. You do such a good job, and I’m learning so much from you. I’m new to scrapbooking and card making, so my craft room is not very organized right now…but I’m working on it! Thanks so much for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pmWow!! Great giveaway!! Love your Blog!! I stay organized by cleaning my craft table weekly and putting everything back where it belongs. Then every 6 months I go through everything and pull out things to donate and/or sell (garage sale).
November 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pmGood evening!! I have to say I just stumbled upon your blog and absolutely LOVE IT!! You are very generous to share your great ideas with all of us. Well, for me to stay organized I make an effort of whatever I buy, it immediately gets put away when I get home. With this process requires me to find a good home and in the process look for something older that I have had around and bring it out and let my mind wonder on what I want to do with that next. I would LOVE to win this giveaway lots of great stuff!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:26 pmWOW!!! You are so awesome and generous! That one box of goodies holds more in it than I buy in a whole year!!! Not that I don’t want to buy more. I stay organized by labeling all my shelves and drawers. Everything has a place and gets returned to that place after each project. At least thats always the goal. LOL Thanks for all your videos. Because of you I now own a white gel pen, and a heat gun for embossing. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:26 pmHiya Kristina
Thank you for being so very generous! Very coincidentally, I spent an entire Saturday just clearing up my paper stash, including all my scraps, organizing them into manufacturers and some are under categories (ie xmas papers) and my scraps into color coded paper bags which I recycled from the monthly kits that I sub to. Just papers ALONE needs an ENTIRE SATURDAY! I dont even want to think about the rest of my scraproom *YIKES*
November 15th, 2009 at 6:27 pmI’m constantly looking for organizational tips. The only thing that hasn’t changed in the 8+ years that I’ve been crafting is how I store my pens & markers… in a plastic school boxes that they sell at the beginning of the school year for about $1. When they get raggedy I just buy a new one! LOL I also use smaller tin buckets with a handle for my scissors & rulers.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:27 pmI want this giveaway for sure! great stuff!
a try to mantain organized by keeping myself to buy too much! its hard,, as you must know, but I always try to use what I have home before buying new stuff!
i doesnt work that well… I must admit, but its a start…
November 15th, 2009 at 6:27 pmYou are so generous to share your videos with us, it is amazing that you are now going to share your product. Thank you so much for both!! I think the key to organization is stations. Group like things together in drawers or boxes so that if you need to say emboss everything for embossing is together in one area. Thanks again!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:28 pmWhat a wonderful giveaway! It would be amazing to win and be able to add to my stash! I try to keep organized…but right now, since we’ve recently moved, I’m not doing a great job! Maybe one day soon. :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:29 pmhaha looks like you have been busy!! i love all the cards you make. ive learned alot from you. i bought those storage cubes from michaels, they have several with different sizes of drawers. and they arent expensive if you use a coupon! :) they have saved my life hehe
November 15th, 2009 at 6:29 pmOMW!!! What an amazing giveaway! I love all your cards and tutorials thank you!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:29 pmMy trick to staying organized? Well, when I can’t find my desk, I clean it up. When I can’t find a certain product, I dump lots of boxes out and try to sort things. I generally know where everything is, I just need to get a cabinet so I can get to everything quicker rather than having to unstack boxes.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:30 pmI used scrapbook paper and my cricut to decorate empty and clean formula cans. Then I put my supplies in the labeled cans (ex., pens, scissors, ink, glue, etc.).
November 15th, 2009 at 6:30 pmI have such a hard time staying organized! !!! I use the cubbies that are sold at sell at micheals to keep everything in order, however once a project is started, my craft space generally looks like a tornado came though….
November 15th, 2009 at 6:30 pmWhen I was in highschool, I liked to do many diy projects and I really like making things. I love arts and crafts. So how I liked to stay organized is, I saved up some shoe boxes and decorated them and put a label on them and organized and stored all my craft materials in there. I don’t always have money to buy pretty paper or nice things to make crafts or anything like that, so I would make them myself. I always had an interest to making my own scrap book, but as you and I anyone else would know, buying little things as stickers, or pretty paper, or even a scrap book to start out with is pretty expensive, so I would take out my craft boxes and make my own with just construction paper and stickers I had collected over the years, and pictures that are worth a thousand words. :)
I also like taking used up tissue boxes and decorating them and use them to store things, it’s personalized and also they come in handy! I like to store my pens, pencils, markers, and color pencils in there~ they’re so cute and I really like how they turn out too!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pmI HOPE it’s me…I never win anything and all my local stores have closed! As for staying organized, I lined my stamp room walls with book cases, giving me gobs of storage. Besides giving myself more room, I allow myself to make a mess thinking it helps my creativity. A big thanks for all the holiday card ideas and for making me discover kraft.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pmI can’t believe this giveaway…awesome!
I just had a huge organizational overall of my craft room because it had gotten too out of control. Now I put shelves into my closet and everything has a place to go, so sometimes my desk stays a little disorganized while working on projects I do clean it up more and put everything away again.
Thanks for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pmWOW WOW WOW!!!!! I would LOVE all that stuff! I try to keep organized by having lots of storage compartments, and a huge U shaped desk with lots of workspace. I also try really hard to clean up after each card/layout, but that doesn’t always happen, and then my mess spirals out of control! But I usually have good intentions, anyway :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pmWow!!! This, I am not kidding, is my favorite giveaway of all time!!!! Thanks soooo much!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:32 pmLove your Videos !!! I wish to have your prizes !!! I usually clean my craft room every time I’ve finished my project !
November 15th, 2009 at 6:32 pmI have found that keeping all my card stock scraps in a basket (placed vertically) helps me use us all that oddly cut stuff. If i’m looking for a little piece of olive, I just rummage for a minute and there it is! I hate filing scraps, such a huge waste of time. This basket system works well for me.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:32 pmI have recently moved to the US from Ireland,and I have taken up stamping and crafiting cards and I love, love, love it! It’s so fun to do and I really enjoy ‘creating’ something fun and pretty that I can give someone and perhaps cheer them up at the same time.
I don’t have a whole lot of stuff, but I do try and keep organized. I have a ‘general’ box, that keeps the bigger items together, and then I have smaller plastic boxes that I keep the stamps, pens and stuff like that in so they’re not just all loose and over the place. I really need to get an organization closet or desk with some shelving so I can have everything separated properly – but that will come when I finally get the ‘craft room’ finished in our place!
Anyway, thanks for the contest – it’d be awesome to win, so good luck to everyone :)
Happy Holidays too :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:33 pmThank you for the giveaway! I try to give away the items I get that I know I won’t use.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:33 pmI like to do a “review” once in a while to refresh myself on all I have. It is like shopping and falling in love with what I have all over again. I stay organized by having lots of drawers and a nearby lazy Susan with all the essentials within reach. All tooks go together too. Thanks so much for the chance for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:33 pmHi! First off I’d like to say I love your videos. I love your ideas and your techniques. I have found that crafting in general is hard to stay organized. You never know what you want to use and what inspiration you’ll find. One thing I like to do is keep get the clear drawer organizers that will hold 12×12 paper and have them separated from holidays all the way down to colors that way i know where to look. I put all my stamps in there own drawer based on what they are. So Christmas goes in one drawer, general sentiments go in another. Same thing with Ribbons. All in all it helps me to know where things are but I have to be honest my desk is still full of craft supplies. I’m not sure if there is a way to stay completely organized and not have a “mess”.
I would love to win your big box of GOODIES!!! so I hope your random generator chooses me lol :-)
I look forward to watching more of your holiday card series and also your line on two peas. Thanks for inspiring and your helpful techniques!!
♥Happy Crafting♥

I am a hoarder, I know I need to clean up and purge but I never do. Good for you!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:33 pmWowzers!!! That is extremely generous!! What a wonderful way to make some lucky persons day!! Thanks so much for the chance to win some fantastic goodies!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:33 pmMy sister and I absolutely love your videos!!! I am very pleased that there are are people as creative as you to share you ideas with us all! Thank you!!! :)
I keep all my crafting supplies nice and neat with Rubbermaid plastic drawers. I keep all of my mini embellishments, such as eyelets and brads in a hardware organizer (for screws, bolts, etc.) I also have 12×12 drawers where I keep pattern paper, scraps, and card stock. I try my best to keep organized! Thanks!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmomg! I so want to win. Thanks for sharing all these goodies!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmI use a crate with hanging files to organize my paper. I try to keep things where I can see them so I can use them! Thanks for the giveaway! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmHi Kristina!
Wow. What a great giveaway!
I totally know what you mean about keeping your space clean to be able to think. Being a college student, I’m always on a budget. To organize all my scrapbook stuff I use the large USPS boxes for organizing my paper and cardstock. All my scrapbook stuff is crammed in the corner of my 10×12 room.
Anyway, I love your videos and I always look forward to seeing them on youtube.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmWow Kristina! What a lot of goodies – that is amazinginly generous of you! My favorite organization in my stamp room is my pegboard for all my punches! I just need MORE pegboard!!! Love your blog and all your great cards!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmI attempt to stay organized by cleaning up my craft area on a regular basis. I also try and find lots of cheap storage solutions. I have big envelopes for scraps, stickers, alphas, an old skinny curtain rod to hang ribbon spools on, lots of cropper hoppers to sort paper, and various shelves and drawers with different categories. Thanks for the chance to win.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pmOoo! Please sign me up for the drawing! :)
I just redid my craft room with a shopping spree at IKEA! I actually purged a bunch of my old stuff, so of course a box of new, beautiful supplies would be most welcome! :)
The way I stay organized is for everything to not only have a place, but it also has a place that makes sense (to me haha) and it’s easy to get and put away. If it’s a pain to stack it or arrange it when I’m putting it back, it won’t get put away, so I try to make sure everything is easy to access.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:35 pmWOW! This is an awesome giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:35 pmWOW! Great Giveaway. My Brother and I love watching you make cards. We have contests to see who can make the best version of your card. LOL! It’s all in good fun though.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:35 pmI keep myself orgained my making my crafting room look like a store. I hang my embellishments on a peg board and I have my paper in plastic drawers from Walmart. I have a separate table for my cricut, paper cutters and printers. My wooden stamps are all organized on a shelf and my clear ones are hung my my homemade “clip it up”. I love having options, so when I go to each section I feel like I’m shopping all over again! I love it!
Nice things in that box! My organization technique is to put everything in a convenient place such as Iris carts, hanging files, notebooks for my UM stamps that are on EZ mount or are clear and I use a caddy for my stamp pads and markers that match them. The only hint that I can give to stay organized, is to be sure to clean up after you finish, or what I do is clean up before I start!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pmThanks for the wonderful videos, I have learned a lot!
Wow, that looks like an exciting box!! I usually keep all of my new patterned paper in a separate paper folder, and that’s what I take with me to crops etc. Because let’s face it, they are the most exciting. Then once, that folder gets full, I move some paper over to the folders separated by manufacturer. I do the same thing with embellishments.
Thanks for the chance to win! I love watching your videos!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pmHmmm trying to stay organised…its so difficult since I am generally pretty messy. I have the IKEA expedit bookshelf which holds my paper in cropper hopper containers. I then have put all my other stuff in plastic bins according to the type of product it is. So all my stamps together in a bin, inks together, chopboard together etc. My scrap area is one of the first places you see when you walk into my house, so that is motivation to keep it neat and tidy as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
candice
November 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pmWow! That’s a lot of stuff Kristina :) You remind me of the stuff in my office that I need to get rid of. I think I’m going to do a similar thing soon.
But hey.. let’s add to that pile. *crosses fingers* lemme win this stuff!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:37 pmWhat a generous giveaway! Your such a sweetie for doing this. My organization is an on going process. I’m always changing things around in my room, but I find that if I keep like things together in a certain area & open for me to see, it helps me find & use my products more! Love your videos! And have a great week!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pmYowzers! You’re being incredibly generous, girl!
Ok, well, these have saved my workspace’s life!… Until I can afford real furniture, these are what I’m working with for organization: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10401063
Thanks again for the chance to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pmWoh! Wish I had that much stuff to actually give away that much stuff! You’re very generous. Thankyou!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pmHi Karen than generous by giving away all this and then found a solution to avoid ending up buried under scrap material, but must go accommodating everything gradually phase out use at the time we finished using it, and so only managed to semi maintaining order in my desk and workroom. Many thanks for this opportunity …
Hola Karen que generosa al regalar todo esto, y pues encontre una solucion para no acabar sepultada bajo material de scrap, solamente hay que ir acomodando todo lo que se vaya dejando de usar en el momento en que terminamos de usarlo, solamente asi e logrado semi mantener en orden mi mesa y cuarto de trabajo. Mil gracias por esta oportunidad…
November 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pmI have tons of shoeboxes that I’ve covered with printed papers and I use them for photos, knick-knacks, loose embellishments, etc.
Thanks for the chance to win! What a great stash :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pmHoly mackerel, 852 comments and counting…Better cross my fingers AND my toes.
I stay organized – if you can call it organized – by cleaning up when I’m done. Done isn’t necessarily at the end of the day, but when I finish a project I put everything away. I’m currently working in a tiny space in my laundry room, but there’s a bittersweet treat ahead – my eldest is leaving home and I’ll be able to use her room some time in February. I have lots of tubs and files and containers and things, but what I need is space.
And more stuff, of course!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmGod! I can not believe everything you got! and things we have not seen! Well my way of organizing is simple, everything has to be classified, eg textured colored paper on the one hand, roles of color without texture by use otro. usually labeled folders and boxes but may discover something that is not on their place, but is simple to be classified and then find it! I hope to win!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmThanks for sharing with us! kisses!
Hi!!! Lovely giveaway!!! I’d love to win at least part of it!!! LOL! I try to stay organized with a great big box I have stashed inside the closet on the baby’s room (my former scraproom :( )!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmWell, it’s definitely more of an “attempt” to stay organized for me! I’ve tried to make sure that everything has a home but I’m really terrible about cleaning up after a scrapping session. Someday I’ll learn! Anyway, it’s an awesome box of goodies — what a fun way to get your room clean!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmLOVE, love, love your videos, Kristina! My 9 year old dd loves them as much as I do, too!
What do I do to stay organized? Hmmm…my OCD helps a lot! lol I actually have my stuff organized really well by product in my scrap room. When there is no room for the new, it’s OUT with the old! lol I have some friends and relatives who are new to scrapbooking and card-making and they are always more than happy to take my ‘extras’!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmI have a cupboard and a shelf full of pigeon holes – in these are boxes and crates that are labelled so everything has its place – doesn’t always stay in it’’s place though ~L~
November 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmI stay organized because I just started about 2 months ago and I don’t have a lot. It would be nice to win this box of goodies. It is very nice of you to do this giveaway. GOOD LUCK ALL
November 15th, 2009 at 6:40 pmWow, what awesome goodies and how generous of you to do such a great giveaway! I stay organized by keeping things in labeled photo boxes or drawers. Once a week I go in and shuffle around the products in the boxes to make sure I’m utilizing all my “stuff”. If I repeatedly pass it up – I pass it on! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:40 pmOh My Gosh……….how do I stay organized…..hmmmm…..well, I TRY (T R Y) to clean up after I do my stamping. You know, I figure if I get into the habit of putting things back right away, it’ll be that much easier to stamp again. And again….I emphasize the word TRY!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:41 pmOMG – your giveaway got so many comments!
Anyway, I attempt to stay organised by putting everything in clear boxes so I can see whats in it at a glance.
Then all the boxes are put on one shelf {my collection is still tiny – waiting till I go to the states to fill it up a bit more} so its off the desk I work at, altho I always end up with scrap everywhere!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:41 pmWow! What a great giveaway! I’m such a hoarder of my scrapbooking goodies, so it would be hard for me to give a bunch of stuff away like this, even if I actually had that much to give away! LOL! I’ve been reorganizing my scrap space the last few days as well.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:41 pmThanks for the chance to win.
Oh, you generous girl!
I use a LOT of mini-iris organizers with supplies separated by type… rhinestones in one, brads in another, colored pencils, watercolor markers, jewelry findings, diecuts… etc. The size of the drawer is dependent on the amount of product I have. I use stacking sorters for my papers, dividing them by colors not by manufacturer. Cardstocks are done the same way. I use lots of stickers and they are in a file box by theme.
I don’t keep anything in the original packaging as it takes up room I can use for more ’stuff’.
I have my rubber stamps in pizza boxes by topic (mounted) and in cd cases (unmounted). I created myself a catalog by stamping each of them in a ring binder and noting the location of the stamp.
Ddd
November 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pmI LOVE to stay organized!! This doesn’t mean that when I am “creating” I am working on a clean desk! LOL! BUT when I have time, everything has a home! I love stamps in CD cased and paper in Cropper Hoppers. Makes it so much easier! Thanks for the fun giveaway!! :)
November 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pmWow Kristina! you are the best! I have been a long time follower of your blog and plan to stay a follower for a long time to come.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pmI try to stay organized by having as much things labeled and by keeping like things together.
Hey! I am a huge fan of your work. I always look forward to watching your videos on Monday and Friday. How do I stay organized? Well, I love the organizer cubes from Micheal’s and I love pegboard so I can see my tools and fav. products. I also just added a row of cubes that are actually closet organizers turned sideways over my desk area. In containers I keep like things together and most of the time I try to clean up my area after each project. Most of the time!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pmWoa! What a giveaway :) I stay organized by keeping my things in their proper spot. When I use something, I put it back before I take anything else out… Hope that helps(:

November 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pmIt’s nice to see that instead of throwing your unwanted stuff away your giving someone who will really appreciate it a chance to win. thanks alot
