Organize Your Scrapbook Workspace

The first step when you organize your scrapbook workspace is finding a scrapbook workspace. It is important that you find a space that works with your lifestyle and family.

If that means the dining room table - go right ahead and commandeer it! If you are short on space, consider using a computer desk or entertainment center that has doors on it as your scrap space. These have the benefit of being able to close up when you have guests or if you're just not in the mood to look at the mess.

Another spot that can work well for those with limited space is a closet. The wire shelving and hanging storage designed for your bedroom closet can be be used to organize your scrapbook workspace in a snap. The sky is really the limit. Some scrapper work off a folding card table in the corner of the master bedroom. Others have installed extra shelving in the laundry room. Many simply take over the dining room table when the scrap bug hits them.

If you are a travel scrapbook artist, your scrap space will probably be constantly changing. In that case, organize your scrapbook workspace by organizing a caddy or travel tote so that it can be set up on or next to any workspace and be functional. The key is in finding a space that works around your life rather than trying to work your life around your scrapbooking.

No matter what room (or corner) your scrapbook organization takes you to, it's important to have good lighting. The Daylight Company makes great craft lamps that have arms to reach over your workspace. They simulate true daylight, so you can match colors and visual the tiny details. If you travel to scrapbook, consider purchasing a small travel light that you can use if you end up stuck in a dark corner.
