Paper Crafters Get Organized Summit (free or upgrade)

joblackford - thank you - I'll check that out - I was thinking about a open box that I could store in with cardstock dividers to flip through - I don't have a lot but they are not the same size

Linda the Fjalla had an extra row for storage, but they are sort of similar. I use the Tjog on my desk to keep new products that I haven't finished playing with and things that are nearly finished that I want to stash bust, and find it really useful.

I did like Ardyth's stencil storage. I am shocked at how much cheaper those page protectors are compared to storage pockets/envelopes.

And I think I have a bin I could turn the wrong way like that (like one of the presenters, I forget who, I do not prefer plastic, so I have more woven bins and things like that [which are probably artificial fibers, therefore plastic anyway, but they look more aesthetically pleasing to me]).

I just need to figure out how committed I am to stencils.

Wait a minute...don't you have some Create in Quads stencils, joblackford? Those won't fit in that system in Ardyth's video, will they?

Agreed- awkward and nothing new to learn there; seems like a fan girl thing?
I am still at the size of the collections people have though!

I've ended up separating my scraps by brand because I know what brand(s) I'm working with, so I know what brand's scrap I'd be seeking. Mostly important with whites, but works with colors, too, I think.

My local SU demonstrator keeps scraps in little plastic drawers (by color, since she's working exclusively with one brand), but I don't like the look of lots of plastic, so I got a couple of these www.amazon.com/Bigso-Ingrid-Drawer-Office-Organizer/dp/B07MVXMQCK?th=1.

So far, I can find what I'm looking for. Leftover strips that are a full 12" kind of curve around, but they fit without folding. Really big scraps stay with the full sheets of the same.

I didn't sign up for the classes, and just watched a few presentations this morning.

The Airtable class got me thinking about Smartsheet, which I use for work. I may set up a free account, and then I can create some forms to log nonconsumable supplies. That's at least 1 good idea from the presentations.

I also watched the monthly reset class - that seems like too much work to do every month, but it could be more manageable to do it once a quarter.

It says in the email with the first day’s class schedule that “all videos are available 24 hrs. beginning April 21, 2023 at 9:00 am EST.” I just went to watch Justine’s video from yesterday afternoon and it says “this presentation has expired.” There seems to be a lot of confusion with the way this event has been presented. I’m not really surprised as the first email that I got when I signed up was riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. I always take it as a bad sign when someone can’t be bothered proofreading their own writing when they’re creating an event where money is involved.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching some of the presentations yesterday and can see myself using a few of the tips, particularly Tiffany’s once a month clean up idea.

Is it just me or is it hard to listen to people who are reading from a script? It sounds like they’re bored with what they’re saying. Like it’s drudgery for them to create the video at all. The ones who speak lively, really stand out. You can tell that they love what they do. (Like Tiffany)
