Ribbon storage

I love looking at other people's scrap space. I get tons of great ideas, and really just love it. I think crafters like the organization of their stuff almost as much as actually using it, haha.

Anyhow, I am in the middle of revamping my stamp studio (which is actually my dining room LOL). I figured I would start with my ribbon stash shelf cuz at the moment, it is my favorite.

I am a collector. I love to collect, and I have accumulated tons of glass jars. Big ones, small ones, cool ones, spaghetti sauce ones...you get the picture.

Anyhow, so this weekend I decided to reorganize my non Stampin' Up ribbon (I'll show you the SU! ribbon on another day) and this is what I came up with. I split the ribbon into 9 groups; pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, purples, browns/creams, and black/white. I put each group into it's own cool jar, and stashed them on this shelf. Pretty huh?

Above this shelf I have my background stamps. Next to them are my A*Muse stamps. They are stored in two big glass cylinders that I got at Mike's. I also have my Basic Grey 6x6 paper pads, my gamsol and blending stumps (also in a little jar...lol), and in the little tin bucket are my sponge daubers.

This shelf is right next to one of my tables that I stamp at, so it's convenient to have everything nice and close.

As I get my room organized, I'll post some more pics
