Over the weekend, I dug deep into my scrap space and sorted my old stash (probably 10 years and older) by colour. I wasn't looking at any of this old product, but lots of it is still so usable. I've NEVER sorted by colour before. The drawers are more full than I expected! A lot of old product was hanging on a very dusty clip-it-up. Now I have an empty 2-tier clip-it-up  Does anyone still use theirs? Find it helpful? It takes up a lot of space, doesn't it!!! Any advice is very welcome - if you have re-purposed it or find that it really helps, or if you got rid of yours... |

I have two clip it ups that I still use. I organize mine is in sections. I have a section for bling, flowers, chipboard, buttons, rubons, thickers and stickers. But all of this is still in opened or unopened packages only. Both are two tiered. Small pkgs on top, long pkgs on the bottom.
I'm more of a visual scrapper, I need to see product in front of me to use it. That's why I still like the clip it up system.
If it's in drawers, I tend to forget about them.

Some ideas of sheets/packages/products to store on the rack:
-Flat stickers (eg alphas, labels, images)
-Diecuts/emphera
-Rub-ons
-Enamel dots
-Stencils
-Photopolymer stamp sets

I have several I still use. One has Thickers and various letter stickers. My smaller one has stencils. This has worked well for me for many years. I have a large walk-in closet for my CIUs so they don't take up space in my room per se.  |

So mine was just sitting collecting dust with some very old emphemera that I will never use on it so last night I decided to use it for all my thickers/letter collections so I can more easily see them. I kept losing them in my other method of organization so I think seeing them will help. I kinda wish I had the two tier so I could use the top for some sticker packs since I’m not sure how to store those so I can more easily see what I have!

It took me a minute to find it in your picture but then  ! That's smart! I have a bunch of clippies from curtains that would work perfectly for that (if only I had space for it). I would probably just use a tension rod since I'm always changing my mind. Cheap and easy solution for anyone who wishes they had bought one. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to find something circular to use - an old lampshade without the fabric? to make a round one... |

I have a 2 tier clip it up I still use. It's sitting on a shelf from an old computer desk that I have on the end of my table so I can also store stuff underneath. I use mine for storing small stamps that I don't want to put into stamp storage pockets, stickers, enamel dots, various other random embellishments, spare cameo blades etc. I like seeing everything there and it reminds me to use it.

I used my small ones for specific albums I was completing. If I was working on a travel album, I filled it with anything I thought I could use for that album.

I never bit the bullet on them. Last year when I reorganized my room I really wanted one, but they are no longer made  |

Great ideas on how to use! I took mine apart years ago and it's in storage. Maybe I'll look for it and put use it again!
