5 Days to an Organized Crafty Stash

It's our final day of our week long series on organization. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed all the tips and tricks the Design Team has shared with you. I know that I have picked up lots of ideas that I will implement as I am making some changes to my own storage.

Today it's all about ink! I may have a slight problem with ink. :) This first picture will give you an idea of what my stamping desk looks like. I am surrounded by inks!

I store my inks in a couple of different ink storage organizers from Stamp-N-Storage. I absolutely love the sturdy design of these units. These units are made of Birch and they arrive in their natural state. As you can see from the photo above, my two newest units still need to be painted.

I have three of the Standard Ink Pad holders. One for the Premium Dye Ink Pads, one for the Hybrid Ink Pads, and one for the Pigment Ink Pads. These particular units have 60 slots in each. I use one for each of the types of MFT inks. The ink pads are slim enough that I am able to fit the matching refill in beside the pad. I love having them stored together like this!

I recently purchased this holder for the new line of Pigment ink pads. I haven't had the chance to paint it yet, but I couldn't wait to put it to use. I didn't do the best job spray painting the other ink pad holders, so I will spend some time this spring getting them all painted up the way I want them. I do LOVE that I can customize the color to match my furniture. I'm just a little impatient when it comes to painting them. :)

In addition to my MFT inks, I also have the line of Tim Holtz Distress inks. These inks are stored in a Petite Ink Pad Holder that is the perfect size for these pads.

As a past Stampin' Up! demo I still have a soft spot for their color line of inks. These are their newer style of ink pads. I have them stored in the fabulous Standard Ink Pad Holders that are specially sized for the Ikea Expedit Units. I can't tell you how much I love these units. I am able to tuck my inks away on the shelves, but still have them in arms reach.

 In addition to Stampin' Up! inks, I also have a few specially inks stored in this unit. These inks include Delicata Silver, Delicata Gold, Versamark, Memento Black, and a few other Ranger inks. Again, I don't reach for them often, but it is nice to have them close by. The refills for these inks and the Tim Holtz Inks are all stored in my color cart.

We have a HUGE prize up for grabs today! Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for all of the details on how YOU could be the lucky winner.

Thank you all so much for spending this week with us. I hope to see some pictures of your craft organization soon! I'll be sure to share some updated photos of my storage as I work on updating things. :)
