Organizing Scrapbook Supplies

If you are a scrapbooker, you know that scrapbook supplies literally multiply over time.  It really can be quite crazy to stay on top of organizing what you've got . . . so you can use what you have.  I would be sooooo embarrassed to admit how many duplicates I've bought over time - because of my lack of organization in my scrapbook room. 

When I saw this article today from the Creating Keepsakes Blog, I think I might have drooled a little bit.  I know, that should be embarrassing to admit.  BUT if you click over to it (and by all means, you should) you will see what I mean.  It just makes me want to organize the heck out of my scrapbook room!

Which, by the way, is one of my New Year's Resolutions.  Yeah, not even lumped in with all the organization goals I have . . . organizing my scrapbook room is has a goal all it's own. 

So, here are a few beautiful organization options that I especially loved from their blog entry.  And you could definitely transfer scrapbook organization skills over to just about any room in the house.  Why?  Because I truly believe that if you can organize a scrapbook room, you can organize anything!

Is this stacked multi-tiered tray delicious?  It is from Pottery Barn, so no wonder I have serious love for it.  Ahhhh.  Just think of the organizing possibilities!  Obviously it works great for scrapbooking, but how great would this be in a home office?   Laundry room?  Baby's room?  Kitchen?  Teen bedroom?  Sewing room?  Just whatever?   (I tried to find this on the Pottery Barn website, and it must be an older item.  Dang.  But the concept is still the same, a tiered organizer can be used for a ton of stuff!)

I love vintage stuff!  And a cool old toolbox could be so useful for holding just about anything. 

I love using baskets and bins for organizing.  How great it is to use simple canning jars inside to help keep everything where it should be. 



Isn't this space lovely?  It belongs to Laura Vegas, a fabulous scrapbooker.  It just makes me want to scrapbook.  I have two desks just like the one pictured, and I love it!  But my desk does NOT look as tidy as this one right now.  But it will . . . soon enough.  Click here to see more of Laura Vegas' organizing genius. 



Here is another space that inspires me.  It just looks, well, inviting.  I just want to copy so many of her organizing ideas.  This room belongs to Cindy Tobey, and I am in love!  Check out more of her brilliance here. 

And if you are in the mood for some serious organizing of all this scrapbook-ish, you may want to check out this book.  It is so great!  I just love, love, love it!  I have it, and I love to pour over the pages, and I have definitely marked a few ideas to try.

So, stay tuned for some FABULOUS before and after shots of my very own scrapbook room.  I really am determined to make it happen this year!  You just wait!

Because if you are a scrapbooker, or even if you aren't, organized supplies just feel good!
