Ideas for Scrapbooking Paper Storage
If there is one problem that many serious scrappers run into, it is scrapbooking paper storage. It seems no matter where you store your paper or what system you try, you wind up with paper that’s bent or torn or that you just can’t get to conveniently. What to do?
There are some simple scrapbooking tips to help you solve the problem of scrapbooking paper storage. You may have noticed that many scrapbook supply stores sell storage systems that are designed specifically for scrapbook paper. You may be reluctant to buy an option like that, but you should remember that your cardstock is the foundation of your scrapbooking projects. Purchasing a simple system can be considered an investment in your projects. There are many options available when it comes to these scrapbooking paper storage systems so you can probably find something that’s within your price range.
Of course there are other options that you could use as a scrapbooking paper storage system. As an example, you may want to browse an office supply catalog or visit your local supply store. They often have towers that were designed to keep paperwork organized on a desk. Some are wide enough that they can hold full size scrapbooking cardstock, but you want to check first and made sure you are getting the right size. They have magazine storage items that will also work for your scrapbooking paper storage system. Try thinking “outside the box” and consider using things for purposes other then what they were made for. If a product fits your desk and meets your needs, then why not use it for your own scrapbooking paper storage?
Another thing you might consider is to think about what you may have around the house that can work for your own scrapbooking paper storage. For example, do you have old photo albums or large books that you’re not using? You can keep your cardstock between the pages. (Now you have a use for all those outdated encyclopedias you’ve been saving in your attic!) You might just want to put a sheet of plastic wrap from your kitchen between your scrapbook paper and the book’s pages so that no ink transfers. And of course whatever you use for scrapbooking paper organization, it’s important to keep it up and away from the kids, pets, and anyone else that might be using your desk and not take care of your papers the way you do.
