We all get them. We all have them. They come in different sizes, colors, and shapes. What are they? Scraps!

Ask 10 scrapbookers how they store their scraps, and you will probably get ten different answers. But how we store them though can help us use them up.

I like to store my scraps by color. So by using this method, I had to find a way that would allow me to easily find my scrap pile for a particular color.

I used a wicker/metal basket I had on hand, some hanging file folders, and labels to accomplish what I wanted.

Now my scraps are easily found and readily available. All I have to do is pull a file folder and start using my scraps.
