So, I'm thinking this is a reprogramming device created by a scrapper that sends messages to his brain like ... "your wife doesn't have enough paper" .... and "Cricut good, sports - bad" .... "you don't need a mancave, that's valuable scrap space" .... what do you guys think? What would you program it to say?
Oh, and more importantly, how do you store your scraps? If you send me some ideas, you'll be entered into a drawing for a give-away .... It's the complete winter collection by My Mind's Eye!

Oh, I would definitely program it to say, "I'll do the housework, Honey, so you can papercraft!" And "I'll watch the kids, too!" Oh, and how about, "Let me give you my credit card so you can buy some more supplies!" I could keep going...LOL. :-)
I store my scraps by color in a 12X12 scrapbook. Each color goes into a different paper sleeve. They are see-through, large enough for long scraps, and all held neatly into a 3-ring album.
What a funny photo to pop up in your search criteria. LOL He looks like an "extra" for the movie TRON.
I store my scraps in like colors. First, though, I cute them into usable sizes (squares, rectangles and circles depending on the scrap piece) (tossing any "little" stuff into the shredder making colored confetti that I use in my birthday envelopes) and then I put them in separate ziploc bags by color, and then those bags fit nicely into a square basket I have that sits under my desk. I have a very small crafting space so I am always good about using up my paperscraps, both solid and patterned.
I would program it to say: "Tell your wife you will do the cleaning and she can stay in her craft area as long as she wants and buy supplies "necessary" as she needs them". :)
I store my scraps by colors. I have an expandable file folder and they are in it.

Let's see...I'd make it say, "Your wife sure does look like she needs to go to Michaels, STAT!"
I store my scraps in two big, plastic drawers...one for patterned paper and one for solid colors. Not the best system, as it takes me a LONG time to find a scrap I want. I love Lillian's idea of shredding the little piece for confetti...never would have thought! :o)
Thanks for the chance to win!

That picture is amazing..I'd love it if it could reprogram the hubs and kids to do all the cooking and housework,lol.
I store my scraps mostly in ziplock bags and try to sort/organize them according to categories like holiday, theme, collection, etc. The rest I keep in a file folder organized by color.

LOL,This is too funny, I would program it say give wife more scrapbook allowance, and I should also give her my credit card!!
I did have it all tossed in a big basket, just finished sorting it out a couple weeks ago and put it in an accordian file folder, and have been using it every time I make a project now.

I store my scraps in plastic sleeves that I think were made by cropper Hopper. I know I bought them at Hobby Lobby. They have a small section on each side for small scraps and then one big pocket for larger scraps. Here is the link

I put 2 colors in each sleeve. Works great and easy to take to crops.

Haha. That is too funny! :) Store my scraps?? well I have a paper stacker for my 12x12 loose paper. And the top stack... for scraps! Right now it is an overflowing pile, but I dig through it whenever I need a little something. Other than that, everything is stacked in a pile or in 12x12 containers I got at Archivers.
Hope you have a great day!

Too funny!! I just finished organizing all my scraps. I have a cropper hopper with colored drawers and I have my scraps all sorted by color! It's working out fabulously!
I think your description works. I want to get my DH one of those.....buy everything in the craft store and give it to your wife....LOL.
I organize my scraps in an accordion style folder. It has about 12 pockets in it and so I have then done by color (color but not color hues) so all blue go in one and it doesn't matter if it is light blue or deep dark blue. At one time I was also putting any printed paper with the colors that was most on the print but this got too hard so I ended up using one pocket for all printed paper and one for all special paper such as glitter, mulberry, velum, etc. This way I grab one "envelope" and can work with any and all scraps. When I see it getting so full that papers are starting to fall or wrinkle then it is time for me to do "a scrap project". I just did one a week ago (or so) and it is on my blog. It was a coin envelope mini-book. Would love you to see it.

this is my fight every time I "re-organize", which in my case I always make a bigger mess... LOL!!! But what I do is: If it is a good size (either 12 inch wide or a 4x6 or bigger) then I put them in gallon size baggies that I have them divided in REDS(red, pink, purple); BLUES, GREENS, YELLOWS(yellow, orange); NEUTRAL(black, grey, white, cream, brown). All the baggies are inside a cabinet file type of basket. If they are small but I am really fond of the paper then I punch out shapes (circles, butterflies, flowers) and put them into a sandwich size baggie that I keep with my embellishments.
But seriously I think you need to keep trying to find something that just fits you. This fits me perfectly because I have a 4yr old that loves to "scrap" (read between the lines, punch paper and glue it everywhere) and this way she can pick from my scrap stash and NOT from my beloved (and hoarded) stash.... LOL!!!

I put all my scraps by color in separate 10" X 14" clear plastic envelopes. I like these better than ziplock bags because they have a little sturdier feel to them. I had originally been storing my scraps in clear plastic sleeves in a binder but it was just too bulky. I had also looked at an accordian file folder but again I didn't like how bulky it felt. I like the plastic envelopes because I only pull the envelope I want.
Oh my, how would that come up with that search.... too funny. Mine would be subtle, a gentle reminder weekly to pick something crafty up for me or order somethiing online. That would make my day weekly.
As for scraps: I have a box of solid colors that I keep them all sorted by color, then I have a drawer of DSP that I try to use regularly. But I am getting better about using up my DSP when I pull it out and throwing away tiny scraps (used to hoard everything).
I love this MMI- fingers crossed. Thanks for offering it up!
"I'll make dinner and clean up--you go play in the art room!"
Okay, you asked, so I'm telling you. I do NOT want to spend money on anything except the good stuff, so my scraps are in an open cardboard box, with hanging file folders in it, and separated by colors. If I have paper scraps that "go" together, they're in the back and clipped together.
It just sits on the floor in the art room, and since it's open, I can dip into it whenever.
:)
Love this helmet lol

"I'll go to the nursery to take out ore sweetheart"
I have a cardboard box with several drawers and I keep scraps by color
