Organizing Your Scrapbook Space

It’s hard to be inspired by your photos, tools and other scrapbook supplies if you can’t locate what you need. Getting and keeping organized is essential to make the most of your scrapbooking time. Pick a corner that you can call your own for storing your scrapbook supplies in. It doesn’t have to be a big space; a closet shelf, storage boxes under a bed, anywhere you can keep supplies until it is time to scrapbook.
Set simple, obtainable goals that are realistic. You may only have one hour a week, or 15 minutes a day to work on organizing your space. Just set a deadline that “in three months, my workspace will be organized,” and stick to it. Once you get there, vow to stay organized.
Select one project with which to begin. Your choices may include setting up your workspace with furniture, lighting and the essentials or organizing tools and supplies.
Even though you understand that the big picture includes organizing your entire scrapbook workspace, it helps to break the task down into smaller, more manageable chunks. Isolate one area in which to begin. Collect everything into a large, open space where you can leave things out undisturbed for a couple of days, if necessary.
Maximize your scrapbooking time by being able to find and use the tools and supplies that you already have.
