I like to cut those chopping mats into 2 x 14" pieces. Then I label them with paper lines' names. I also put a red, green, yellow, or blue sticker on the mat/label if I have stickers, ephemera, washi, stamps/die sets that go with each line. Great way to store like items and also have a reminder that I have in another place.
