Today's Tip! - Paper Storage
Scrapbook Paper Storage That Works!
Scrapbook paper storage is a challenge! Ask anyone who scrapbooks and they will agree. There are so many different colors, patterns, type, and sizes to consider.
How many times did you cut a new sheet because you couldn't find the smaller size you needed only to find it the next day? How many times did you buy a new piece of paper only to find you already had that color or pattern? What about the precious time wasted looking for just the right piece?
Well, all of those frustrating moments can be history if you organize your paper and use scrapbook paper storage items. To help you with your scrapbook paper storage, here ares some ideas:
Expandable Organizer - These are great expandable organizers that can hold up to 500 pieces of 12"x12" paper, has a locking tuck tab and of course in acid free. A perfect choice for small space scrappers or scappers on the move.
Cropper Hopper Vertical Value Pack - This is another favorite of mine. Pages are protected and easily stored. There are a few different sizes and it's easy to sort by color, theme, or whatever works for you.
Using scrapbook paper storage can help you get more done in less time by using your time efficiently and for what you love - building great scrapbook pages!
Happy Organizing!!!

Stackable Paper Trays (8.5"x11: and 12"x12") - Paper trays are a good choice to keep your paper right where you need it. It makes your paper easy to see and easily accessible!
Expandable Organizer - These are great expandable organizers that can hold up to 500 pieces of 12"x12" paper, has a locking tuck tab and of course in acid free. A perfect choice for small space scrappers or scappers on the move.
Cropper Hopper Paper Holder - I LOVE my Cropper Hopper but don't see them anymore. It's convenient and sturdy and, on a wheeled base, easily moved. The unit holds up to 200 pages of 12"x12" papers. Add dividers (found below)to separate colors and patterns.

Today's Tip! - Types of Albums
There are two standard sizes of 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.
- 8.5”x11”, and;
- 12”x12”
