Organizational Tip of the Week - Pens

Do a quick test of your pens to make sure they are all in good working order. Dispose of any that wont write or don't work properly (or that you just don't like) and make note of any replacements pens you need. Happy Scrapbooking - Autumn

Organizational Tip of the Week - cutter blade

How long has it been since you changed your cutter blade? If you don't remember (or carry a spare with you) it is best to change your blade now. You don't want to finally have a chance to crop only to find out your blade is dull. The Cutterbee is my personal favorite since most parts are replaceable. I find I only need to change my blade 1-2 times a year. Happy Scrapbooking - Autumn

Organizational Tip of the Week - tool cady

This is your weekly organizational tip:

Get a tool cady the come in lots of cool color choices. The one I use is by All My Memories and is called the Tote-ally Cool tote and is pink and brown. I have had it for several years now and it is a real time saver. They have more expensive ones out now with a spinning base but the people I know who have one said it wasn't worth the extra money since they rarely spin them anyway. If you already use a tool cady good for you! Take a few minutes and clean it out putting things in easy to find places.

Organizational Tip of the Week - adhesive

This is your weekly organizational tip:

Go through your supplies and make sure you have a back up for each type of adhesive you regularly use. This will keep you from running out of adhesive at an inopportune time.

All About Me Album - Jan page layout challenge

As I noted in my post about my scrapbooking resolutions, I plan to complete an album about myself in 2008 and I hope you join me. Every month I will be posting a new challenge to accomplish by the end of the year our albums will be complete.

Jan - Description of Yourself

This months challenge is a page layout with a description of yourself and photo(s) of course. You can do a single or double page layout depending on how much information you would like to include. Include anything you want but you might want to consider : birthday, where you were born, marital status, eye and hair color, hair type (long, curly, straight etc), height and weight, children if you have any, pets and any distinctive features. You can also include general health, hospital stays and any other items you feel appropriate. If you come up with some good ideas please post them.

This is also a good time to get an album to put these layouts in. That way as you complete them you can put them directly into your growing collection of pages about yourself!
