Do work, kids and errands often get in the way of your scrapbooking hobby? If so, here are some tips to help you find time for your creative outlet.

Organize your space and supplies and don’t let interruptions cut into your set-aside time

First, mark your territory. Do you have a place in your home you can dedicate to scrapbooking? A medium- sized table tucked away in a corner would do the trick. Having a dedicated space saves time because you don’t have to take your supplies out and then clean them up each time you sit down to work. If you have a small closet in your home, this makes the ideal spot. You can fit a small desk or table inside and stack your supplies on shelves. When you close the door, no one can see your half-finished project. When you open the door, your project is waiting for you, right where you left it.

Second, get organized. If your scrapbooking supplies are a mess, you’ll spend valuable time looking through stacks of paper or stickers trying to find the ones you need. Plastic containers make excellent storage for scrapbooking supplies because they’re inexpensive and easily labeled. Paper can be stored in a small hanging file folder or an accordion folder. Either of these will make your paper quickly accessible and easy to look through to find what you need. If you’re creative, organization may not come easy for you, but you’ll find that a little time spent organizing results in more time to devote to your hobby.

Third, make an appointment. If you schedule a time for scrapbooking, you’re less likely to let other obligations get in the way. Even if you have to set your alarm and get up early, you’ll find that it’s worth it to do what you love. Put your scrapbooking appointment on your calendar and let your family know that you won’t be available during that time.

With a little planning, your scrapbooking ideas will become a reality. Organize your space and supplies and don’t let interruptions cut into your set-aside time. After all, you deserve a little time to do what you love!

Digital Scrapbooking Kits for Scrapbooking without the Mess

Digital Scrapbooking Kits supply you with all you’ll need for scrapbooking without the mess. Digital Scrapbook Kits have papers and elements you can use for scrap booking traditional layouts (by printing the single pieces and papers from your computer) or for scrapbooking digital on your computer.

Then online printing services can print out your digital scrapbooking layouts. The biggest advantage to scrap digital is definitely that you can re-use the digital scrapbooking items. While conventional scrapbooking gives you just one chance to create your layout digital scrapbooking kits allow you to use the “undo” button and simply redo your layout. You can even use the items many times – this is perfect if you want a whole memory book e.g. about a wedding party and use the same style.

Today software programs such as Photoshop Elements have a product creator guide included. This allows you e.g. to make a photo book with your digital scrapbooking layouts and send them to an online printing service.

A photo book from a special event such as a wedding party or baby’s first year is the perfect gift. There are not many more gifts you can give which are more exclusive. Beside that digital scrapbooking kits often come with 100s of elements and papers and are much cheaper than traditional scrapbooking materials. While you pay for each paper in a scrapbooking store you can pay once for your digital scrapbooking kit and download your file.

Make sure that you make a copy from your digital scrapbooking kit to an external hard disc drive or a disk. But you are not limited to layouts or photo books. You can create many more nice supplies with digital scrapbooking kits. You can create an individual bookmark, a door sign, a notebook or a mouse pad. Be creative and make a unique collection of articles for your personal needs filled with your memories. All in all – digital scrapbooking is scrapbooking without the mess and much more flexible and cheap than traditional scrapbooking.
