Right now I have paper, paper scraps, stickers, vellum, etc....all in a big plastic tote and I need a better place. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!

A new invention will work. File folders with labels.

Have you though about buying any scrapbooking totes it you'll be scrapbooking outside of your home? They work. Also, there are some cubes you can order from oriential.com with different ways to stack stuff. (It just so happens I have my Oriential Trading Scrapbook right here).
Anyway, put like things together - all winter stickers together, all summer stickers together, scraps in a small container (they can be used over and over again). Keep paper in an expandable folder - colored paper together, prints together, vellum together. Do you have any stamps and inks? Find small containers to hold them together.
The thing is to keep everything in place, but be able to access it easily. If you know you need certain things, you can pull gather it easily. It's hard to start getting organized, but once you do it will be easier, and then you can expand.

stickers - i store all mine in a expanding file (catagorised, ie, boys, girls, animals, stars etc). paper scraps are stored in a plastic craftkeeper (craftworks). vellum & paper sheets are stored in a display book (30x30). card stock is kept in a letter sorter (cardboard style - ht 30cm lgth 65cm - with sections). these are then all kept on a shelf or in a double door pantry style cupboard.
most stationery shops with have the display books etc.
Have fun sorting out.
Good luck

Look here for lots of photos of different ways that people have organised their scrapbooking rooms.

designate a tote for each group of items

Well, you don't need to buy that folder with label thing though... all you need to do is recycle any folders or boxes that you have....Put all similar items on one folder or box and then labeled it....It is more cheaper and environmental friendly...
