You can find suitable scrapbooking storage
for virtually every conceivable scrapbooking
item. From large carry-all wheeled totes
that store a multitude of different supplies
to files, boxes and holders for the smallest
eyelet or embellishment and everything in-between!
As you learn more about scrapbooking
and really get "into" it as a hobby you
will begin to try new techniques and so
you will buy more varied supplies, these
in turn, require more varied types of
storage units.
Here's a little tidbit for organizing
your scrapbooking storage. It may be a
simple one but it's a very good one…
don't store your supplies by the manufacturer.
Keep all of your templates together,
your papers together, your scissors together,
your punches together, your pens together,
your stamps together etc, etc.
This is a sensible and efficient way
of using your storage space because it’s
much quicker and easier for you to find
what you are looking for when everything
is all together in one place.
It will also save you money! How? By
helping prevent you from buying duplicate
items, let's take templates as an example.
These are available in all sorts of
shapes, sizes and patterns, if they’re
here, there and everywhere it's easy to
loose track of what ones you have brought
previously.
By keeping them all stored together
you can see, at a glance, exactly what
templates you already own making it much
less likely that you'd buy the same one
again.
Another advantage to storing things
away inside your storage units is that
it will also free up extra workspace...
and we can all do with more of that!
Whatever type of storage solution you
use - be it pen caddys, photo holders,
paper/sticker savers, stamp cases, 3 ring
binders, totes or even plastic baggies
- make sure you keep your supplies organized.
Being organized is good – it helps
keep your supplies and tools (and the
house!) tidy, they will be kept safe preventing
them from getting damaged – and ultimately,
it allows you more time for actual scrapbooking.
