Scrapbooking involves using a lot of material and products and getting creative with them in order to create a scrapbook that you like.it is important to organize yourself when you are scrapbooking because not only do you have a large amount of material that you need to organize you will also have a lot of photographs of small knick knacks that you have collected over the years. In fact the entire idea of scrapbooking is to organize these memories and preserve them for later.

Start with the right thing and remove all your photographs from the photo album that you may have purchased from the grocery store, these photo albums contain acid that can destroy your memories slowly but surely at the same time. Putting the photographs in a shoe box to start with is a good idea.

The next thing that you should do is to look for s box with many compartments that you can use. You can use an old gift candy box that you may have or something similar. The whole idea is to be able to keep all your supplies in one place in an organized manner. Keep other essentials like glue, scissors, thread and needles in one compartment too. If you are unable to find a box that helps solve this purpose you can look through the scrapbooking stores and you are sure to find something that you like.

If you are planning to create a scrapbook based on the years gone by, then you may need to arrange the events that you want to put in the scrapbook in a chronological manner.
