Organize Your Distress Inks and Stains

 Hello, Scrap Your Scrappers! I am so excited to be sharing my first post with you today, all about organizing your Distress products.

If you're anything like me, your thoughts turn toward getting your stash whipped into shape about this time of year, and the task can be downright overwhelming. That's why I get so excited when I come across an idea that is simple to execute and eye-appealing as well.

I'm talking about this cute, fun, and functional jewelry organizer. You can find these almost anywhere. I've seen them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and also in department stores like Ross, Marshall's, and TJ Maxx. Of course, I was coupon-savvy and picked mine up at Michael's with a 40% off! :)

This pattern looks great with my pink scraproom walls!

This particular model has 30 square pockets - the perfect size for a regular size Distress Ink pad, with plenty of room for a foam pad in front or behind it.

 You can also store re-inkers and stains in the pockets...

 And the bottom 3 pockets, which are slightly larger, are perfect for storing your ink blending tools.

Some of my friends store their inks and foam pads secured together with a rubber band, which makes the jewelry organizer more portable for them and also prevents the problem of those pesky lids falling off.

See? Simple, cute, and functional! I hope you find this solution helpful. If so, you might be interested in something else I've created to help you avoid purchasing duplicates of your inks and stains (we want to use up what we've got, right?). It's a complete checklist of all the current Ranger Distress products. Just download and print it, check off all the products you currently own, and you're on your way to organizing your stash. It's totally FREE! Visit my blog for more information.

Till next time!
