Easy Scrapbooking Paper Storage Tips
If there is one problem that many serious scrappers run into, it is scrapbooking paper storage. It seems like any place you store your cardstock or what system you have tried, you end up with paper that is torn, wrinkled or bent, or that is not in a convenient location. What can you do?
There are some simple scrapbooking tips to help you solve the problem of scrapbooking paper storage. Many scrapbooking stores sell storage options specifically designed for scrapbook cardstock. 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 storage system is an investment in your scrapbooking hobby. 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. These usually have towers that are meant to keep a person’s desk organized when it comes to their paperwork. Some are 12 inches wide so they can hold scrapbooking paper, but you want to be certain you are getting the right size for your cardstock. 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 you can use a product for your desk and it works for you, then of course you should use it for your own scrapbooking paper storage?
Consider using things you already have around your home for your 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. (Finally, a use for those old encyclopedias in the 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.
