If there's one thing we crafty gals seem to like as much as stamps, paper, and ribbon ... it's organizing it! And we're always on the look out for storage inspiration and ideas!
With that in mind, we want to see how YOU store your A Muse goodies! Upload photos of your A Muse storage ideas to the gallery at Splitcoast Stampers, taking care to include the keyword AP08STORAGE in the title or description. When you're finished, copy the url/link of your upload and post it in the comments area of this post by Friday July 4th.
Here's a few photos of how I store my A Muse goodies!
Ribbon, notecards, pretty little papers, and Creative Candy stored in CD holders.
And my image stamps, sorted in drawers, by category.
And we can't forget all those awesome A Muse sentiments! I store mine together, separate from the images.
I can't wait to see how you guys store your A Muse goodies! And ... we have a fun little prize for one lucky person! The winner will be chosen, at random, from all those who share their storage ideas!
- Heather
Oh fun. I can't wait to see everyone's pics!
Here's mine:

I've been very blessed on my creative side in that I have an entire large room in my house donated to nothing but crafting.
Two walls have elfa-shelving from floor to ceiling (practically) from the container store. The other two walls have CD shelves from a local book-shelf store here in Austin Texas. Some of them have regular 3-helf book-shelves on the bottm with 7-shelf CD shelves on top while the others have 12-shelf CD shelfs. They are the perfect size for the majority of my wood-mounted stamps and stamps stored on CD jewel cases.
On several of the CD shelves, I also use mini Expand-A-Shelves which allow a 3-step-ladder storage. These are great for my embossing powers, paints, and some of my smaller border and corner punches.
My A Muse stamps are stored in 3-drawer Steralite containers from Target.
I do the same thing you do... I store my A Muse word/phrase stamps in separate drawers - for me, it helps me to feel more freedom to put any phrase with any stamp.
Thank you so much... I love your ideas, suggestions, and thoughts. Keep them coming! ~:)

I have a small corner in the storage room downstair not pretty but it works. I have mostly amuse stamps because I love simple. I am slowly finding containers for my stamps, but right now I use the bottom of sturdy cardboard boxes cut off at 1 1/2" high. For the rest I use cardboard supply parts containers recycled from my husbands service truck. My motto is save $$ on storage means more amuse stamps.

I have Iris carts that I have my stamps in by catagory. I have one draw that is half full of A Muse stamps but now that I have their catalog, I am hoping to fill the entire drawer. Here is a link to my stamp storage.

Oh this is interesting, seeing how fellow A Muse fans store their stamps! I am quite envious of all of you! I have a small area in the extra bedroom in which I can get messy! I like to think that if I am in a smaller space I need to be extra organized and also tidy and clean.

Here is my storage rack. I usually keep seasonal stamps (Christmas, Valentine's, etc.) in separate boxes and bring them out just at the appropriate time.

I don't have a lot of A Muse products, only a small amount of stamps, but for now I have them all stored in the acrylic photo frames.

I see some potential in the other posts for changing my system, but this simple method works for me right now too... How I'd love to outgrow my boxes! :) Great "challenge" -- thanks!
