Scrapbook My Life

It’s a proven fact: scrapbookers love to shop. Unfortunately, keeping all of those supplies organized so you can actually find what you need can be a challenging task. Here are my top 3 organizational tips, based on personal experience and expert interviews I’ve conducted through my work as the LoveToKnow Scrapbooking editor:

1. Pick up your supplies after you’re finished with a layout. Getting in the habit of cleaning up after yourself on a regular basis is the easiest way to stay organized.
2. Before you go shopping for supplies, spend some time looking at your current stash to determine what you really need. This will cut down on duplicate items and unnecessary impulse purchases.
3. Be realistic about your organizational system. If you know you’re a bit of a slob, you probably won’t be able to stick with a system that involves sorting paper by size, color, manufacturer, and product line. Keep it simple and you’ll be more likely to remember to put everything in its place.
