• Photo Storage Boxes

  Vendor: Target Retailer: Target Price: $2.99 Rating: It is very important to store your photos and pictures in a safe place. Over time if they are stored in the old style photo albums they will begin to glue themselves to the sticky pages. And you could lose your precious memories. I have found these very nice but inexpensive photo storage boxes to be a great way to organize my photos. They are lidded boxes, with a place on the front to place a card or tag for labeling. They are nice in color (blue) and look great also stacked on a shelf in your scrapbook room/area. The nice thing about using these boxes are you can store them and then as time allows you can go through each box and begin to sort and organize to prepare for your scrapbook pages you want to do. Then when you sit down to scrapbook you will be able to flow through your pages with much more ease because you have a plan already mapped out with your photos. I found these particular storage boxes at Target. They run about $2.99 each so they are very cost friendly. Posted Mar 09 2008, 08:10 AM by ScrapNova with no comments

• Crop-a-dile: Eyelet and Snap Punch Tool

  Product: Crop-a-dile Vendor: We R Memory Keepers Retailer: Joann, Michaels, Archiver's, others Price: $18 - $25 Rating: I have tried a couple of different tools/techniques for eyelet setting and hole punch/snap’s. When this tool came out I was very excited. It is a little overwhelming to look at and you think it will be hard or complicated, but it’s not at all. You just have to use it to see. You can use this tool for hole punches, and of course for eyelet and snap setting. It’s much quieter than the hammer/setter combo method and comfy grips on the handles make it easy to squeeze. Eyelets are a fun and decorative embellishment and this tool allows you to use those items with much more ease. Tip: Use the hole punch to add some ribbon edging to your pages.

• White Organizer Cubes

  Product: Organizer Cube Vendor: Unknown Retailer: Target, Joann, Michaels Price: $20 - $25 Rating: These cubes are a great thing to add to your scrapbooking room/space. They have various different styles and are all white. They range in price from $20-$25. I have added these to my scrapbook area and they have helped me 100% in getting more organized with my products, paper and scrapbooks. They have to be assembled but are not hard to put together. They are made of wood and iron. The fronts of the drawers have a place to label what is inside which also makes things easy to find. They can stack on top of one another. I currently have 4 stacked on one another and then placed them side by side. If you are looking to organize your office/scrapbooking are I would recommend these cubes. There are various brands out there at various retail stores and I have found that these are a great item and not overly priced. Posted Mar 08 2008, 08:08 PM by ScrapNova with no comments
