Organization can be one of the biggest tasks for scrapbookers. Space
available and scrap book supplies vary but certain rules remain constant. Here
are a few tips to help make your scrapbook organizing a little easier.
Together Forever — Take some time to place all of your
scrapbooking supplies in one place. Keep your pens together, scrapbooking
templates in one place, rulers in another, etc. When scrap book supplies are
grouped together by type, not brand it will be much easier to assess your
storage needs.
Shopping List — After sorting through all of your
scrapbook supplies, write it all down. Make a list of all punches you have, name
of colored pens, etc. Also, a supply note listing scrapbooking products you need
to order, or purchase at your favorite scrapbook store.
Labels —
If possible, use see-through containers for storage, otherwise be sure these
products stay together, with all other scrapbook supplies clearly and concisely
labeled.
Within Your Reach — Place items used daily in easy to
access areas. Your paper should be accessible, and frequently used tools and
scrapbook supplies within arms reach. Investing in shelves for your scrapbooking
supplies is a good idea for dedicated scrapbookers. (Remember, unsealed wood
should not be used to store albums, papers and stickers because there is lignin
in wood.) Use shelves for your pens, stamps, and cutting tools. Craft drawers,
or utility units, are handy for small items like die cuts, punches, small
stickers, etc.
Where Ever You Go — Keeping a special tote packed
with all the scrapbooking supplies you need is recommended for those that may
crop while waiting for your kids at baseball practice, or crop at other scrap
booking locations. That way, you don’t have to think about what you need to
gather up; it’s all ready in a moments notice! We recommend Memory Tote or Crop
Station by Generations.
Oh Where Is That? — Keep scrapbooking
supplies where they belong when you are done using scraps of paper put them in a
designated box or accordion file so that they can be used the next time.
