My husband is in the process of finishing up the new addition to my scrapbook room and I'm wanting to do something different with my scraps. After lotz of research, I have decided to seperate the scraps all by color, each color having it's own container, probably a cropper hopper vertical storage holder, and then after every page I complete, completing a card as well with just the left over scraps of paper. In essence, killing 2 birds so to speak with one stone. Hope this idea helps someone else out as well.
