Chipboard Drawers

I finished it last night - my chipboard drawer storage. I picked up one of those nut and bolt storage things at Lowe's and some white spray paint for plastic. I had to give them .92 cents more than my $25 gift card.

Last night I cut rectangular pieces of My Mind's Eye, Bohemia papers (Mostly the Play, Beautiful and Family lines in the "Barefoot" collection...) and labeled the different drawers with rub-on letters by Making Memories. I put just a little bit of adhesive across the front top edge of the papers to hold them to the drawer front. And I think I just need to say that I hung the whole thing on the wall by myself too - wall anchors and all! And it's NOT crooked - it just looks that way in my messy photo. Next I organize my bulletin board I think...

The 30 drawers along the top hold individual letters, then the numbers and punctuation are divided among the last four. I have the larger letters and punctuation divided (in groups) in the bottom nine drawers. Some of the drawers barely open 'cuz they're so full! There's no shortage of chipboard letters here... I hope this is going to help me use the letters more - instead of having to sort through a whole package or jar of letters just to find one. I feel good about it. I guess the proof will be in the pages though. I haven't made a page for my own album in a LONG time. I've been doing to much general "paper crafting" and pages for others. Time I did some for my family! I feel a page with chipboard coming on...
