I love seeing how everyone keeps papers and collections, what works for some is the complete opposite for others.
I keep collections and stacks that are new and that are my favorites together, collection kits are in a cropper hopper style vertical storage and stacks are stored together on there sides.
The rest of my pattern papers are kept in themes. I have separate iris type cases for Christmas, wedding, school and outdoors. All others are in the Cropper hopper vertical storage they are stored in colour preference from light to dark so white first then pink, purple etc and themes start from the basics like polka dots, hearts, baby girl, baby boy, food, animals, floral and then I have generic patterns in colours. I pick which side I like the best of the two and that is what I stick with, I am more of a B side scrapper so it tends to be an easy pick.
Cardstock is from light to dark in my colour use preference.
Scraps are stored in 4 manilla folders, one for small scraps of pattern paper and one for small cardstock and one for big pattern paper and one for big cardstock scraps.
I did just purchase off marketplace the last of a ladies scrapbook supplies and when I got them home I realised that she was a kit scrapper. She would buy a collection kit and a heap of the embellishments and she would keep them all together in a page protector. I have never scrapbooked like this, I usually buy one or two sheets from a line that I like and maybe one pack of embellishments and pull extra stuff from my stash but she has definitely made me rethink how I do things.

I organize by designer if I have enough of one, I have sections by season and holiday for bigger ones and I have misc tab for all smaller holidays. Other sections include, black and whites, backgrounds (mostly older paper or new paper I bought more than one of to use as a background aside from the collection), wood grain, school, birthday, and sports. I do have two of these plastic containers that have very old paper I can’t part with. Here are a picture of what one looks like close up and a picture of how they look stored on my shelf. I also store my solid cardstock in these and just have them by color family as I don’t use a ton of colored cardstock.
