So it is really hot where I am in south Australia...really hot...38-42 Celsius hot.
Today after dinner I decided that it was too hot to scrap but perfect to purge!
I seriously removed 2 inches of patterned paper!
I now have 1expedit cubby of 12x12cardstock, 1 cubby of patterned paper sheets and 1/2 cubby A4 card stock for card-making.
I also reduced to 12 6x6 pads.
All my 12 x12 paper and card stock is stored in those 12x12 pages in progress folders so probably if I just had the paper it would only fill 1/2 the cubby
but I like to be able to flick through and choose and have the paper protected,so I don't have to worry about bending or finger marks.
Interestingly ,most of what I purged was basic grey and 7 gypsies and K and co...lots of grungy,distressed or very swirly abstract "florally "stuff
I have been scrapping since 2001 so some of it is v-e-r-y old.
On a lucky note I did find a lot of lovely older collections that are not pink.....
Dapper Dan and Finley from Glitz, Chap from AC ( wish I had some more of that) and a travel line by Heidi Swapp.
I think the oldest thing I found was a HOTP pad of papers called " yummy " with photos of jellybeans and chocolate chips!! Still might use some of that!!
Cool change coming tonight so tomorrow night is looking good!
