Organize Your Scrapbook Supplies

Series Summary

Scrapbooking is a craft that utilizes many different skills—photography, page layout and design. Scrapbooking has been around since people were able to obtain photographs. It is a way to visually preserve moments, feelings or experiences in your life that might otherwise be forgotten. It all started in 1976 when Marielen W. Christensen began keeping a book of photographs in new devices called sheet protectors. By 1980, she had assembled more than 50 of these books, and she was asked to display them at the World Conference on Records in Salt Lake City. Since then, the door of scrapbooking has been opened and flooded by people who wanted to find unique ways to remember their pasts and experiences.

"Hi! My name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village. In this series of clips, I'm going to show you how to organize your various scrapbook supplies. The first thing you're going to want to do when getting ready to organize your scrapbook supplies is to find a place to create a scrapbook workstation. In that space, you're going to want to put some shelves and on those shelves, put some different containers to house your papers, your cutting system, and anything else you have that you're going to scrapbook with. When you have a place to leave your scrapbook supplies, you're more likely to scrapbook more often and when you do scrapbook, you're more likely to get a lot more accomplished. You're also going to be able to know what supplies you have and what supplies you need to purchase. You're also going to want a clutter free desk or table that you can actually scrapbook on. When you're organized and have a dedicated scrapbook station, your scrapbook time is much more enjoyable."
