SCRAPBOOKING PART THREE

IDENTIFY ALL TOOLS USED FREQUENTLY
Example: Scissors, glue, staples, colored pencils, pens, rulers
Package in an box/traveling satchel, which can move freely from room to room.


CREATE NOTEBOOK FOR STICKERS OR LETTERING
Buy a large ring notebook
Fill with page protectors
Engage each protector with stickers according to what it is
Example: Kittens all together, Christmas stickers all together, etc.
These are for STICKERS



CREATE NOTEBOOK FOR RUBBER STAMPS
Buy a large ring notebook
Stamp image of the rubber stamp on the pages
Place in page protector
Example: This gives you a folder of what stamps you own and cuts down on the time looking in your rubber stamp case for the stamp.



CREATE A NOTEBOOK FOR CRICUT© DIE CUT FONTS
Print images from Custom Crops site. Go to Custom Crops. Go to font, open Click on CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT THIS CARTRIDGE CAN CUT, (written in blue) which opens the images of what the font does. Print this and place in folder or small note book.


Make a list of the fonts. Keep what you have from what you wish and another bullet point of what you may not wish to buy.


LET’S GET STARTED
Ask yourself:
Is this seasonal
Is this a holiday
Who is honored
Do I want to use stickers
Ribbon
Cricut©
Do I need the cutters?
Two items for collection:
1. Scraps (paper grocery sacks are marvelous for this)
2. Pieces you will save
Gather supplies
Get satchel/box
Gather paper
Gather scraps
Place the items together and set aside. By doing so, you will have a complete package to start. Try to keep at least 2 projects ahead.



ITEMS TO BUY OR FIND
Buckets or tubs
Satchel
Video boxes or other
Method to sort items, consider envelopes or make your own
Ring binder
Portfolio with brads (for Cricut font pictures of items)
12 x 12 plastic containers for sorting paper or other method of sorting


As you add fonts to your list you may wish to make a list of which fonts have, for example: a happy birthday cut or a lady bug!!!! love those ladybugs!

Hope this helps!
