    It is so interesting to watch someone else identify which items they like and or dislike. We all have such difference tastes.😄

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes! I love so many papers and embellishments, but know that I won't use them, so I try to keep that in mind too.

    Gosh I loved this detailed video. Would love to see you sort more collections

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci

      Thank you! I did most of them off-camera, but it took me a whole week!

    Everything in me says, “Don’t do this!!” I could never do this, but I admire your bravery. I buy by collections and could never get rid of my pretties. And the answer to how much should we keep is “All of it.” Lol!! Great video!

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem +1

      Completely understandable! I didn’t intentionally buy most of my stash, I received it as part of design teams or in warehouse boxes, so I’m essentially refining my stash to just the things I love.

    I loved this video. I second the request for more collection purges. I need to sort my ephemera. I am guilty of keeping a lot because I don't know who would want it, and I have learned rom Janet that I can tuck things if they have a work or an image that's irrelevant.
    When I do what you did with the puffy stickers, I keep them on the sheet, cut around the ones I want, and put them in my little 4x6 containers so I can keep ALL the ones I want.

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci

      So glad it was helpful! I did most of the collections off camera. It was a big job!
      I used to do the same with stickers, but found that I just wasn't reaching for them in those containers.

    I just recently gave myself permission to get rid of papers in collections that I don’t like. Thanks for sharing!

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes! As much as I adore these collections, it seems silly to me to keep pieces that I don't love just because I have other pieces.

    Oh my! For someone on a fixed income and scrapbook budget, I watch you purge and think oh I would love that paper etc! Lol good for you knowing what you want and need! I think scrapbooking supplies have just gone up so much in recent years! I have learned to be very selective about how I spend

    • @annehoyle3581
      @annehoyle3581 Před 2 měsíci

      I am right there with you! I have scrapbook collections that I got for $5.99 and now those same type of collections are $16.99 or $17.99. I am so thankful that I stocked up on supplies when I was working (before covid) looking towards the day when I would be on a very tight budget. I bought alphas, enamel dots, adhesives and page protectors . I have plenty of collections and will never run out of paper to use! I save up from gifts I receive to buy the few things I may need.

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci

      Completely understandable! I have an overflow of supplies from my design team work and discount boxes, so I didn't choose a lot of it. This process is mostly refining my stash to just the things I LOVE. Selective buying is a brilliant habit to get into!

    I am not able to really scrapbook right now so I have been binge watching some of your videos. I like watching your purging videos and especially this one with your collections. It has motivated me to down size even more than I have already done in the last three years. Thank you!!!

      Yes! So true! Having open storage and an organized space makes such a huge difference.

  • @harmonydesroches
    @harmonydesroches Před 2 měsíci +2

    One thing I do to help with space (and for remembering what I have) is use one package for doubles. For example, those Amy Tan heart stickers would be stored back to back in one package instead of two separate packages.

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes! I do this quite often as well. I think I combined several of those off-camera.
