Organizational tip ~ Distress Ink storage

So I've been seeing a lot of people asking about distress ink storage along with the applicators. So I thought I'd share what I've done. Yes...another makeup bag LOL. You will soon notice that I use these a lot! They are economical & easy to clean. They are also usually colorful & pretty! So here it is....... 





So I just labeled all the ink pads. I then placed all the sponge applicators in little ziploc bags & labeled them too. To take it a little further I inked the labels on the bags. I did notice while doing this how accurate the representation of the color is on the ink pad covers are. So you can skip this step. I like it because I have all those baggies in the zippered pouch & when searching for it I can see the color. So if I'm looking for tumbled glass I can see a blue baggie & it makes a little easier. I still have plenty of room in there for the applicators, zippered bag & room for more ♥ inks ♥

I ♥ me some Tim Holtz !!! LOL

Have a fantastic day!!!

  1. That is a great idea, i never thought about a make-up bag for storage, but it makes so much sense.

  4. Great job on the organizing! I would just add that, I use a large hair band, to keep the ink closed, and it holds the sponge pad under the ink pad, so that when I pick up the ink pad the correct sponge is already under the pad, waiting for me. I don't even bother putting it in a baggie, works great! Give it a try and let me know how you like it. Love Penny Scrap-aholic@blogspot.com
