Tips On Organizing Your Scrapbook
You can create more scrapbooks in less time of you take a few
moments to organize your thoughts and supplies. Before starting
your newest scrapbooking project, plan out everything you will
need and have it close at hand.
This includes supplies such as tape, glue, and pens, photos and
memorabilia you intend to use, and an idea of how you want your
pages to flow from one to the next.
Effectively organizing your scrapbooking projects includes
keeping a written record of what worked for you in the past and
what did not.
Notes of materials and fabrics that worked and those that were
difficult to maneuver, the types of paper and decorations that
were the easiest to attach, and which particular supplies were
the most effective will save you a lot of time when starting a
new scrapbooking project.
Basic supplies such as scissors, paper, and page protectors
should be kept in a special box or container so they will be
within easy reach when you are ready to begin your next project.
Keeping your family photos and mementos in a central location
will make it much easier to locate the ones you wish to include
in your newest scrapbook. Your calendars and journals should be
kept up to date. This will save you many hours if you don't have
to take time to remember dates and places.
Make a special effort to keep your information current. Digital
photos can be placed into directories according to the special
event, the person, and the places in which the photos were
taken.
Advance planning and making an effort to keep your scrapbooking
items in a central location are the best ways to keep yourself
organized and make scrapbooking a joy rather than a stressful
experience.
