Project Life Chaos - Part 1

No one tells you how chaotic doing Project Life can be. Little cards, big cards, cut outs, stickers, photos... this stuff ends up everywhere and you can never ever find the exact card you are looking for. I searched the internet for organizing ideas and it seemed like everyone was using a rolling cart from Ikea, but that was just not going to work for me. I need something I could take up and down the stairs so I could do this project while spending time with Thomas. So the search continued and then I found this!
This perfectly holds all the cards in place and I can arrange them by color/season. You can easily find what you are looking for and I used dividers to separate multiple colors within one compartment. I cannot function unless everything is organized and visually appealing (anyone else?), and what is more appealing than color washi tape and neat compartments?
I am still figuring out stickers, tape and pen type storage, but I have some ideas and I will share them soon! Yep, that is right... this chaos is big enough for a two part series! Do you do Project Life? Do you have any tips? Tell me, tell me!!

  1. I haven't started project life yet but I am really interested in doing so. I have so many years of photo's that I need to get into albums and this seems like the simplest way. Do you have any other suggestions for where the best places to go to get your supplies and what basic supplies you need to get started?

  2. Oh I won't tell you anything about Project Life because I don't do it! I adore it on my friends' blogs and I would love to start it, but I know that I will end it propably after 5 weeks.. I'm just not organised and usually my plans fail in 50% :P

    But I really love your storage for PL cards! I would love to see all of them :D
