The Pretty Paper Party Starts Today

The ever creative Shimelle has a new class starting today - a four week party celebrating pretty paper! Our first challenge for the Pretty Paper Party is to take a photo of our paper. So, to get the party going, here's a look at my paper stash.

By some standards, mine is a small stash and by others it would be considered a rather large supply of paper. I have most of my 12x12 cardstock & patterned papers sorted by color & placed in drawers on the shelves right beside my craft table. I have two accordian files - one holds new specialty papers and the other holds themed papers. I keep my 8 1/2 x 11 papers in a file drawer sorted by color & my scraps are sorted by color in a bin right under my craft table. This system works well for me, and I am looking forward to using some of these pretty papers over the next four weeks as I receive Shimelle's daily prompts and inspiration.

It's not too late to join the party - anyone else want to celebrate Pretty Paper? (Click here for details on the class.)

  2. I haven't signed up for this one - just not enough hours in the day at the minute. But I'm going to be looking out for these photos. They are fun!

  4. Wondering how you decide where your patterned papers go - with cardstock or the specialty patterned paper? What are you storing your scraps in - is it plastic bags?
