We all love to scrapbook, but as time goes on we collect more and more supplies and don't have a place to put them. Well now is the time to get your scrapbooking organized by making your own scrapbooking organizer.

Soon you will be able to keep all those fun supplies and materials in one place.

What you will need:

- A medium sized shelf that you can devote entirely to your scrapbooking. (You can find this at a home decorating store or an office supply store.)

- 4 or 5 paper racks. The ones that lay down and hold your documents or paper flat without folding. (You can find these at office supply stores.)

- Pick up some sturdy bins or baskets that can fit on your shelf.

- Polaroid camera.

- Permanent markers.

- Small Ziploc bags for stickers, beads, etc.

- Hot glue gun.

How to set it up:

1. To begin you want to find the perfect spot for your scrapbooking shelf. Some great ideas are your home office, the basement, (providing that it's waterproofed and not damp or wet) or your storage room.

2. Put your bins on your shelf and put all your supplies in so they can be ready when you need them.

3. Label each bin for the types of materials it will hold. For instance, if you have 3 bins you can name them embellishments, stamps, cutouts, etc... Create a bin for every category of supplies. You can use another bin for ribbons, lace, leather, paper flowers, and things like this.

The last bin can be used for miscellaneous supplies that don't fit into the other categories.

4. Now it is time to put every scrapbook supply in its matching bin. Take a picture of these items with your Polaroid camera. Hot glue your picture to the front of the bin or basket carefully. You can also write on the bin with your markers if you wish.

5. Gather your different papers and place them in the scrapbooking organizer paper racks. That way you will always have the right paper when you need it.

6. Now, place your scrapbooking organizer bins and paper racks on your shelf where you wish them to be. Voila!
