When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me, Lord." I am a believer that God created each one of us with a unique talent, therefore, use it well to serve Him.

How I Store My Craft Supplies 2 - Sewing Notions, Chalks, Watercolor, Pastel, Inkpads and Reinkers

More pictures to show how I organize my other craft supplies:
All my sewing notions
Some fake flower soft using model train scenery grass and and snow flurries using grated styro balls.
Cake and pencil chalks, templates, applicator and chalk erasers are all in this drawer.
This drawer has all my watercolor supplies including papers and cards.
One of the shelf on my Ikea bookcases has some of my inkpads.
Then I have this wooden inkpad organizer that I bought in Korea for about $15 and it houses my SU and CTMH stamps.  I went back several times if I can get hold of another one, too bad they never had any more of this wooden stamppad organizer.
All my reinkers are stored in one of the Ikea drawers.  I really like the fact that everything is in one place.  OCD is good and bad you know.  Organizing a craft room especially if you got tons of supplies is a huge work.
A box of pastel and crayons is being kept in one of the Jetmaxx drawers...

How I Store My Glimmer Mist Supplies

DH mounted a pegboard that he bought for my craftroom.  I used it mostly to hang wire baskets that we bought at Ikea and I used them for chemicals, big rolls of tape, a bunch of grungeboards, scissors, painting notions and different brands of glimmer mist.

 
 

How I Store My Rubberstamps - Unmounted, Cling and Wood-Mounted

I have several ways of storing my rubberstamps.  It all depends on whether they are unmounted, cling or woodmounted stamps.

 This is a wide depth bookcase that we got at Ikea.  Everything in this bookcase are stamps.
 Clear stamps are organized in the binders.  My unmounted and cling mounted rubber stamps are organized and sorted according to brands in a plastic binder that you can buy at Unibinder. 
 My collection.  This is mostly character stamps.
 Stamps inside these binders are mixed of clear stamps, cling mounted and unmounted.  I used Aleene's Tack It Over and Over glue for the unmounted ones. 
 I got these 1-inch document protector plastic cases in Korea and paid less than $1 for one.  I stored my lose stamps in there as well as old rubberstamps sets.  I unmounted my 50 some sets of CTMH rubberstamp, mounted them in an EZ mount panel sheets, and store them in those document protector plastic cases.
 These plastic cases are from SU stamps but instead I used them for my $1 stamps that I normally picked when I'm at Michaels or Joann's.
 Now look at these DVD clear plastic cases. These cases has all my SU stamp sets. Pretty neat huh!?
 I'm not much of a big fan of alpha stamps because I honestly doesn't know how to use them.  I really dont like it when they don't line up.  So the few sets that I own, I store them in this embellishment organizer.
 I also have a basket for new stamps and those that I haven't mounted and organized just yet.  I been wanting to buy another batch of Unibinder binders but not really in a hurry to buy them.  That's why these goodies sits in these baskets.
 More stamps that needs to get mounted and organized.
 I have two other baskets that sits in the bookcase for big lose stamps that I grabbed whenever they are on sale at Hobby Lobby.
 This is my simple way of storing my Justrite Stamps using drawer organizer that we bought from Ikea.
 Mounting blocks and tweezers are all in here too.
 I store this on the top of the Jetmaxx drawers inside the walk-in closet. I want to make sure that my children could not get hold of these stamps.
 As for storing my background stamps, House Mouse Collection, Thomas Kinkade Collection, Unity and Hero Arts, they are all here in these two Making Memories Embellishment Hanging Centers.
