Today's Tip! - Types of Albums

There are two standard sizes of albums:

• 8.5”x11”, and;
• 12”x12”

Most scrappers I know use a 12”x12” album for the "family scrapbooks" and smaller (6"x6", 8"x8", or even 8.5"x11") books for themed albums.



3-ring binders or D-ring binders: These are just like the binders you used in school.  This is my preference, though I have a hard time finding these in Victoria.  A simple 3-ring center means you can add or switch around pages easily and a D-ring allows pages to lie flat.  The best thing is that you can fit a lot of pages into a 3-ring binder.



Post-bound albums: The pages are bound into the album with three posts that can easily be taken out and more pages added in or removed.  It is also somewhat easy to move pages around.


Strap-hinge albums: These albums have flexible plastic straps in the cover that run through wire loops embedded in each page. Binding is expandable but pages are not a readily available.

Friday has come and gone and I didn't getting any scrapping done. Did
you?

Today's Tip! - Ribbon Storage the Easy and Creative Way!

Ribbon Storage the Easy and Creative Way!

Ribbon storage is a must if you are a scrapbooker or crafter.  But it doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to organize your ribbon collection. In addition to available ribbon storage, below are some unconventional ideas that you may already have around your home.

• I sort my ribbons into tackle boxes, easy to grab and see the assortment of ribbons.  Sort by color or type for ease of use.
• Keep your smallest scrap pieces in canning or storage jars. The variety of colors and pattern usually make for a nice display on a wall shelf or bookcase.
• Thread the ribbon spools upright on a paper towl holder.
• Use a small tension rod between bookcase shelves or a wall shelf.
• Try a slack hanger that has multiple tiers. They are made with open ends so it is easy to slide the spools on and off as needed.
• Check out CD racks. Some of the smaller ones would be perfect. They seem to be just the right size for holding spools, there is no dowel to deal with and you can access them easily.

As you can see ribbon storage is not difficult or expensive but it can save you time in the long run if you organize it.

Wooohoo...... 2500 Hits!!!!!

Today's Tip! - Sticker Storage for Your Scrapbook Space

Sticker Storage for Your Scrapbook Space


Sticker storage is a must!  I don't use a lot of stickers, but there are times that warrent stickers, such as titles and such.  Because I don't use much, simple accordian files work well for me.

Is your current system working? What about the unused stickers on a page - How do you save those?

There are many questions on what to do with your stickers and sometimes few good answers on what storage is the best.  Let me know what you think.
