You can become more efficient with scrapbooking by having a few selected pieces of scrapbook furniture to house your scrapbook supplies in efficient ways. Let's take a look at few of the common and functional scrapbooking furniture to help you achieved an organized scrapspace: Stackable Paper Trays If you've been scrapbooking for sometime, you'll quickly realize that your 12 x 12" papers are stacking up high. You probably need a way to store and protect your scrapbook paper from being bent and damaged. Stackable paper trays is the answer. Since these units are expandable, you can always add on more units as you filled up your current units. With this clear paper storage device, you can easily view the papers you have on hand. Stackable trays are prefect as it allows the papers to lay flat. Because if you were to store scrapbook paper in a vertical hanging file, the paper might bow unless you compressed them at both sides. Divided Compartment Boxes Now that you have your papers stored safely, let's look at how to store your embellishments. Are your present scrapbooking supplies all over the place and you're having a frustrating time retrieving whatever that you need? Look into buying one or several divided compartment boxes, depending on the amount of supplies you have. These plastic boxes are usually cheap. You can get them at your local scrapbook stores, craft stores or even online stores. Just make sure each box comes with multiple compartments or drawers to store your various embellishments. Compartment boxes can come in the lay-flat or tower type units. To maximize space, go vertical with the tower type or those lay-flat types that are stackable. Wooden Chest of DrawersInstead of using divided compartment boxes, do you have an old wooden chest of drawers hidden down in the garage or somewhere in the house?Give it a fresh coat of paint and put labels on the the drawers. Now you have a vertical, functional scrapbook storage place where you can store all your scrapbooking supplies readily. What's more? A wooden chest of drawers though more expensive, is sturdier than the plastic compartment boxes. Pen Caddy Own many journaling pens and you're having a hard time reaching for your favorite pens as they get hidden by something else?
