More Organizing for CCB02

This is my second project for the CCB02 Challenge which was to organize anything craft related. Every time I sit down to stamp, or have an idea in my head I find it hard to pick out the right images or I forget that I have certain images and never use them etc... etc... Combine that trouble with a large stack of old SU! catties laying around taking up wayyy too much room and I NEVER OPEN THEM even though they are my craft bibles. SOOoooooo, I cut out pages from all my catties that contain the sets I own. This way when I want to start a project I can flip through relatively quickly, get some inspiration and be on my way! Anything to help me put ideas together faster will be a complete lifesaver. I mean, you can organize all the supplies in the world, but you've GOT to have something that will allow you to organize your creative thoughts and actual thought and planning process. So I am really thrilled that I finally made myself my Notes notebook (see post 2 below) and got these catties under control!
Of course I would have wanted to decorate my folder and make it pretty, but many of you know that I have been MIA for a few days for family reasons. But I am slowly making my way back beginning tonight. So, I wrote it down in my new notebook under my projects to do page and then when I'm feeling creative but don't know where to begin, I will remember that I wanted to do decorate the folder housing the organized stamp set pages, YAY!!

CCB02 Project

As you've already read, Creatively Cute's second challenge is to organize something papercraft related be it ribbons or papers or stamps etc... I knew instantly what I wanted to do.
I have this massive collection of ideas and inspirations printed from the internet, cut from magazines, taken from anywhere, really. It's a humongous mess.
Then, at night trying to get to sleep and thinking about cards (don't laugh, whatever works, right?) I always come up with these fabulous ideas for layouts and cards and then in the morning, POOF! They're gone. SOooooooo
I've created this altered notebook to house all of my ideas and inspirations, lists of projects I want to try and list of products I need (ok,want) to buy. And now that I'm on the Matahati Designs creative team, this will be used to keep track of my project and submissions here as well. I also plan to bring this book to bed with me (hahahaha). That way when I get a good idea I can jot it down so I don't loose these gems overnight. My ultimate goal is to make sure that when I'm inspired to create I don't sit down and go "Duuuuhhhhh, what do I do???? Duuuhhhh"

Creatively Cute Bloggers Challenge #2

Paula is our hostess for Creatively Cute's second challenge. It's a fabulous one and see the prize above? Super Great!. Here's what she had to say:

"...This is a challenge unlike others...we won't be making a card or a box, nope, not this time...this is something we ALL NEED....
LOL...no...not a vacation...although I'm SURE we all NEED that

We need ORGANIZATION! Yes, we (papercrafters) are KNOWN to hoard, covet and well, create creative messes! For THIS challenge I want you to take the time it would take to make ONE CARD and organize something...ANYTHING papercraft related...some ideas

Organize those Jumbled Ribbons
Organize your Acrylics
Organize your Dies or Cricut Cartridges
Find a proper place to store your expensive markers
Label something
Make a binder to organize the sketches you keep printing off your computer
Rearrange your paper by color/theme/mfg
Make a holder for your heat gun
Repurpose a cork board for your creations
You can do ANYTHING you want, as long as it's papercraft related and you take a photo of it...now, no fair taking a photo of something you already have done (we're going for the honor system here, if you REALLY want to impress me take a before AND after photo of it....)... I want you to do this so you'll have MORE TIME TO CREATE all those "other" challenges later!

Be sure to upload your newly organized whoosiewhatsit to SplitCoast Stampers and put in the keyword CCB02 . You're deadline is to get this done by is Wednesday March 25th. Voting will begin Friday March 27th."
