• A square poly crop case easily stores paints and markers. Pop dots and foam flower appliques (figure A) are applied to give a 3-D effect to this organizer. Its flat surface can also be used as a work surface.

• A smaller organizer (figure B) is ideal for stickers and photos. Sections can be labeled for quick location of supplies.

• The shallow pockets of a desktop accordion file (figure C) can organize small supplies as well as flat materials such as birthday cards or invitations. This organizer can be decorated with stickers, gel pens or paint markers (which have greater impact on its black surface). This organizer is also a good choice for adult scrapbookers.

• To decorate poly organizers, Dygard says, a paint pen designed for poly (figure D) needs to be used.
