Top 5 Organizational Tips for Scrapbooking

When starting a scrapbook project there are five simple things you can do to make your project run smoothly. These things also allow you to spend your time scrapbooking instead of spending your time looking for what you need.

Organize your photos. This is a simple task. Sort through your photos by date, category or by family. This depends on what type of scrapbook you are making. Having your photos ready saves so much time. You can just pull out what you need for that particular page and you are on your way!

Decide what colors you would like to use throughout your scrapbook. For example, if you prefer to stay with pinks, you can choose all different pinks and even some reds. Even if you change your mind and decide to add other colors, you have the base color ready. This saves time because you don't have to sort through all of your papers.

Depending on the theme of your book, sort through your stickers. Pull out the ones that pertain to the subject you are scrapbooking. Even if you have to go back and add stickers later, this will get you started.

Organize your workspace. Do you have your pages? Do you have your stickers? These things should be in reach as you are working. Trimmers, tape runners, etc. too. Having these things handy allows you to concentrate on your scrapbook instead of wasting time looking for the tools you need.

Set a time limit. If you only have an hour to scrapbook then shoot for 45 minutes. By only having the stuff out that you need your clean up should take less than 15 minutes.

Scrapbooking should be fun. It should be simple. Being organized can help you stay on track and enjoy what you are doing!
