Organization of your work space can be just as important as the design and layout of your scrapbook itself. You want to make sure all your scrapbooking supplies are well taken care of, and can easily be found when you need them.
Scrapbook paper storage can be very simple. You can use specialized storage cases, or work with your own method of organizing. Depending on how much scrapbook paper you'll need to store will depend on what you'll need.
The size of scrapbooks will also determine what you can and can't use for storing your paper. Most filing systems you find in office supply stores are specifically for 8 x 11 or legal size papers, so usually will not work as scrapbook paper storage for the average scrapbooker.
You'll most likely need to use scrapbook paper storage offered by a scrapbook supply store, or store where you would normally find scrapbook supplies. You'll find examples of what you can use for a scrapbook paper storage system below.
Organizing Your Scrapbook Paper
Before you start looking for a scrapbook paper storage unit, you may want to take a look at your current supplies and see what type of organization you need. Do you plan to organize your paper by colors, such as bolds, pastels, patterns, etc? Or do you plan to separate them by seasonal colors, such as fall, holiday, summer, etc? Deciding how you plan to organize everything may give you a better idea of what exactly you'll need for scrapbook paper storage.
Scrapbook Paper Storage Units
Many scrapbook paper storage units work for not only paper, but pictures, die cuts, stickers, and other items. If you plan to keep more than just paper in your scrapbook paper storage unit, you'll want to make sure what you are using will work and have enough separating tabs for your projects.
