I have a little bit of all of the colour families - my favourite family at the mo is the In Color family - but I need room for all of the families.
What I like to do is allocate a magazine file for two colour families:
Bold Brights & Earth Elements
In Colour & Neutrals
Rich Regals & Soft Subtles
I keep my card in its wrapper & then I take a clear L Folder and use it to store my off cuts, this keeps them nice & handy.
I don't keep bits that are smaller than 1 1/2" wide because they can easily overwhelm me & I find that I actually use pieces that are larger rather than hording small bits (I learned this lesson when we moved & I got ruthless with my bitty bits :o).
