Hi, my name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village, and in this series of clips I'm going to show you how to organize your various scrapbook supplies. It's also helpful to have a place to keep all of your layout ideas. I know for me, sometimes I get a block when I am scrap booking, and I need help and I need ideas. Well, one great way to organize all those is in a binder. I know, if you go to different crop sessions and different scrap booking retreats and things, a lot of times you'll get free layouts. And what I do, is punch a hole in those and just put them in a binder, and that way I keep all of mine together. You also could buy some tabs, and organize your binder by theme. Also, I subscribe to a scrapbooking catalog--a scrapbooking magazine, and I don't usually want everything that's in that magazine. I usually find a few layouts that just really appeal to me. So, I will tear those pages out, hole-punch those and keep them. And sometimes those good layouts are mixed among other advertisements and other things I don't really want. Well, another idea is to actually cut out the layouts you like, and tape them or glue them onto a regular piece of paper and hole-punch that and add them. Then you can also organize those by theme. Here, I found a bunch of children's ones I liked and was able to put all of those together. Another great thing is when you buy packs of paper, a lot of times they'll come with different layout ideas. Well, I like to keep those, because even though after I use that paper that came with it I might like just the layout that they used. And so again, you can cut these, glue them onto a piece of paper, hole-punch them, then you have all of your layouts together.
