Started my Navy son's scrapbook. It was fun and made me even more proud of him. I had him journal his experiences and put them into a page protector.

If you have a chance to go to a scrap show and have a day or two of cropping on site. Take advantage of it. I have been to two of these events and they give me a chance to only focus on card making or scrap booking. I will attend one tomorrow and start a scrap book for may Navy son and his wife.

Found gel pens and glitter pens at the store 5 BELOW. They are not good for photos, but ok for cards.Also, Wakmart has the best price on 'glue' tape

Saw a 'Scan and Cut' on QVC, I wanted to buy it so badly. However, I need to use what I have. Don't go to their sales page, it is like having an addiction (to scrap supplies). I must say out loud, "I have enough, I have enough!" HA HA!

I will be making a scrapbook for my son and daughter-in-law at an all day scrapbook/craft show next week. Have you found that a 12x12 was best or was a smaller book better for the Navy family that will move around a lot?
I decided to make a section just for the Navy Wife. Adding a page for her to write some thoughts/memories on.

Like the recycle cabinet idea. I'm going to use two book shelves and a table in between.

Cool paper storage idea. I'm currently using a plastic milk crate and used foam board as section seperators. 12×12 b paper fits.

I use 12 x 12 paper... best stacker for my paper was a diy... I bought one of the kits that makes wire cubes. Made one cube and then using zip ties used the other pieces to put shelves in... be sure to put the shelves with the raised wire side down. then you can slide paper in and out. One kit will make two cubes and fill it with shelves.

I too decided to move my scrap area. I'm looking at converting an old amoire into a scrapping place. I'm finding that it's no good having cool tools that you can't fnd or forget you have. Anyone have storage ideas?

I saw an easy way to make a small srapbook. Take envelopes (I used 6) and tuck the flaps into each other. It creates pages, one blank and 1 with an opening to put pictures in. I am making one for my OCS graduate.
