I'm  playing along at Use Your Stuff #479 today where the challenge is Paper Strips.   I keep ALL of my scraps.  I arrange the pieces by color in an inexpensive metal 9x13" baking pan on keep them on a shelf on my roll around cart that fits under my desk.  I'm always grabbing the small pieces to use on projects.
When that tray starts getting full I pull out some border dies like the Pretty Pink Posh Stacked Edges or these Skinny Strips from Waffle Flower.  I cut lots of strips at the same time and then store them in the envelope I keep the die in.

When I'm looking for a colorful background I attach the strips to a cardstock panel.  I usually arrange them in rainbow colors but just about any combination looks great!
I hope you're doing well and sending you a big hug if you need one!
