1
Find a model you like. You can search for scrapbook totes with an online search engine, comparing and contrasting features of each tote. You'll want something that will not only hold all of your supplies now and allow you to buy more things in the future. In the long run, it's better to buy something that's too big now than to have to upgrade later.

Value function over form. Sure, the lime green tote looks really trendy, but if it won't hold all your supplies, it isn't worth much. So judge a tote first on size and second on aesthetics.

Shop around. Once you have found a scrapbook tote that you like, price it at your local craft store as well as a local scrapbooking store and a few online websites. That way, you can make sure you get the best deal possible.

Buy used. Scrapbooking totes can be pricey, so look on EBay or Craigslist for a good price. Many scrapbookers buy one tote, then need to upgrade after a few months when they collect more supplies. So their loss is your gain.

Realize it's only a name. There are lots of storage options available to you, and you don't have to rely on traditional "scrapbooking" totes to get the job done. Consider rolling luggage carts, plastic bins and even storage options from an educational supply store.
