I need help organizing my scrapbooking supplies?

I live in a small house and do not have room for a scrapbooking room. I have A LOT of supplies. I have some travel totes to keep them in and other misc. storage containers. My main problem is it takes 15 min to drag it all out and another 15 min to put it all away. Plus the time I spend seaching for things. I could do more pages if I was more organized. Got any great ideas to help me out? Thanks!!!

I keep my stickers in a binder filled with two-sided sticky pages with a plastic covering each side (they used to be photo albums, before the sturdier ones we have now were invented; now you can buy them almost anywhere). This is perfect for me, as I simply lift the plastic, take out what I need, and put the remains back in. Also, I can easily rearrange pages and stickers to keep the album organized by subject (food, letters, numbers, stars/flowers, smileys, etc.), and the binder hardly takes up any room.

Another idea is to have one 12×12 scrapbook filled only with decorative scrapbook papers (the removed white ones can be used to replace a mess-up). This way they can be viewed and removed easily, and this too does not take up a lot of space. (I do not have that many pages; therefore I ripped out several plastics from an old scrapbook that had extra and put all my papers inside.)

As I don’t have that many, I stuff away all my ribbon, rickrack, buttons and bows into a little container. You can organize them by color, size etc and place them in small jars (baby food jars are multi-purpose and can be bought cheaply at craft stores).
