OK, so I made an inventory notebook for my craft supplies. That's not weird is it? I mean, I just got a little tired of not remembering what I had and didn't have. Buying doubles is fine for some stuff, but not for others, you know what I mean? I have been working on this for a couple of months. I think I have everything in here now. (Oh, yeah, except for all of my paper stacks and collections). I think it is awesome. I just have to remember to use it when making supply needs lists and to take it with me when purchasing certain things. Here it is...TAA DAA! I made the pages on classic sized papers, because a full size three ring notebook would have been too big to handle in the store. I wanted to use my ARC disc binding system, but they don't make rings big enough for all of this stuff. (I have a lot of stuff, but I have been crafting since before I can remember learning how to do it!!!) The side tabs are the main categories. The top sticky notes are the temporary way I am dividing the main categories. I still have to tweak things. The following are just examples of what's in my book. Not only are some pages an inventory, but also a nice sample of what the product looks like. I found a bunch of printables on the Ranger site. Go check it out! The link will take you to the page where there are a ton of color sheets and label sheets to print out and use to help organize your stuff. A list of my Cricut Cartridges. I double spaced it so that I have room to add more. Pictures of my dies...all divided into categories of company. I had some folders that I could not find the names of. So, I put a sample in the book, I can use it when I shop. I also knit and crochet. I need the information for that also! Punches... ...Scissors... ...and Stamps, OH MY! And, you have to have a washi tape collection inventory. I made the dividers using the tutorial I found by Paper Phenomenon. It uses the EK Success envelope maker to create the tabs. I just cut the card stock into pieces that were 8 1/2" x 6", did the punching and cutting, and I had custom dividers for my book. The video tutorial is here, she shows how to make half sized file folders using this technique. I also played with the paper size she uses in the video to create her file folders. If you use a paper that is 8 1/2" by 12" to start with, and score the fold at the 5 3/4" mark from the "bottom" of the file folder, you will get a folder that perfectly holds 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" papers. If this is confusing, let me know, I'll show you! What do you think? (Not about how much stuff I have stashed in every nook and cranny of my craft room! What do you think about my book? HAHAHAHA!) Stay crafty, and ORGANIZED, my friends!
