I had a pile for every colour and 3 wooden ika drawers of scraps to sort out!
I have tried various ways of storing my scraps and i find that storing them by colour is the easiest way!
Next i stored the colours in these zippy wallets, these were rescued from school, the children use them as homework folders and at the end of last term i rescued these from the bin!! With a little wipe down and some new labels they are perfect for storing my scraps!
So now my scraps are sorted i have set myself a little challenge... i need to make at least 2 projects a week using my scraps!!! Please feel free to join in with my challenge, i will be blogging what i make so if you link to my blog let me know and i will link back!

I sorted mine a while ago - also following the colour co-ordinated method. Now interested in your challenge - may try the same - not been so good with my scraps later - well adding to them a plenty but not using them! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, that's what I call organised. I was organised similarly a couple of years ago, sadly, it didn't last long!
Wish mine were as organized! Mine are stuffed into a box and when it gets where I can't close is when I have a sort then I usually send my scraps off to my niece so she can use as she pleases in craft play, they are usually much appreciated - I might though keep some back for myself now seeing your idea - although limited space does pose a problem using your idea seems not to take up much space at all. Glad to hear you rescue stuff from the bin too!

I've got my scraps organised like that too still never get around to using them though!!! good luck with your challenge!
I too use the colour method for scraps. I find it the easiest. However, my aim is to not end up with any scraps if at all possible. I try to make the card/s that I require and then use up the scraps at the same time so that there is nothing left of that piece of paper. Hence no scraps. I have ended up with some interesting interpretations working this way and my local church charity shop loves the box of cards they get twice a year. Of course, this is my aim but doesn't always work out that way.
