Do you have any organization or time saving tips you could share? I tend to use the supplies in my stash that I can see or have easy access to. So, I store most of my supplies on shelves just above my workspace. I use colorful buckets to store, glitter, markers, glue etc and clear compartment storage for chipboard and embellishments. You can also apply hooks under the shelves for additional storage.
