organization

That is exactly what I do for the time being. If I had my own scrap booking room, I would use little shelves, and place stickers, borders, etc... in their own little drawers. It would be much easier than the zip lock baggies, but for right now I am doing what works best for me.

when i was scrapbooking for others (some paid gigs, some i used as gifts) i used to use envelopes and paper clips to keep all my stuff straight and together. i also think your idea is a good one. i always lay out my stuff ahead of time before i glue it just to see how it looks.

I've actually never been a traditional scrapbooker, but most of my friends are. I've seen several ways that they keep their stuff organized. I think that the best is using the portable rubber containers that have the drawers so that they can pull their stuff out as needed at home, but it is also easy for them to take along with them when they are going to crop somewhere else. Some of my friends also use the ziplock method as well though.
