An Odd Assortment of Alphas
I store all of my Alphas (Thickers, stickers & rub-ons) between two folders, organized by colour in plastic pockets. It's an arrangement that really works for me because I can see and find what I'm looking for really easily. I will often buy two of an Alpha I like so I can make them stretch a bit further. Therefore a lot of my Alphas (especially Thickers) are double-ups I had no qualms in keeping all of those because I know I'll use them. What did go were a bunch of weird Alphas that came in assortment packs from the dollar store years ago, they were ill-aligned prints/cuts which didn't bother me then but is not how I work now. I also removed a bunch of rainbow coloured Alpha packs. They look so pretty in the package but when you go to use them you end up only using one or two of the colours and not in a pretty way, just in a weird way, so they needed to move on too. I kept five almost used-up sets to use on some upcoming projects but anything that isn't used will be thrown out when I'm done and I also moved another five sets whose fonts seem a bit dated to a kit I have for a project that uses older stash. That way they'll still get used and won't look out of place in that collection of albums.
