8” x 8” Words and Striped Albums

I love these mini albums for endless reasons: They’re lightly padded with square corners, they come with ten top loading sheet protectors, they’re easy to add additional pages to, and best of all, the designs are wonderful. The Striped album is perfect for a kids or other fun-themed book while the Words album is great for something a bit more sophisticated—a heritage book, a shabby chic album, etc. To make it easy, Hot Off The Press also has 8” x 8” Heritage and Kids papers that perfectly match! You can also personalize them with silver or gold frames and corners pieces. What more can you ask for? Try using them for a theme album, a gift or a smaller-scrapping project.

The 8” x 8” Words and Striped Albums are available from Paper Wishes for $12.99 each.

Portable Scrapbook Organizer

I’m a busy paper crafter. I’ve usually got two or three projects in various stages in different places in my scrapping room, from cards to scrapbook pages to handmade books. And like most paper crafters, I have certain supplies I use all the time, for all of my projects: you know, those favorite scissors, adhesives, black and brown inkpads and hole punches. Until now, these favorites often got lost in the shuffle on my table. My solution? A single portable organizer for all those basic supplies. This way even when I’m multi-tasking, I can still keep my must-have supplies close at hand—and they’re ready to go to a crop, class or event. This organizer has room for paper and the compartments can be customized with the included dividers. It holds tons of supplies!

Available in Purple and Blue, this is the best $29.99. I’ve spent for organizing!

Card Keeper

With all the cardmakers in my family, I’m lucky that I get a handmade card in the mail every couple of weeks. Of course, I NEVER throw any of them away. I generally keep them on display for a few weeks, until the next card arrives. But what to do with my collection as the cards stack up? Here’s the answer: The Card Keeper, a 7”x9” notebook that stores up to 24 cards. It’s also perfect for storing cards you get in swaps, or for keeping a cache of ready-to-send cards. The cover is blank, so you can decorate to suit your style. How fun would it be to store all your Christmas cards in this notebook, then collage the cover with a holiday theme? Brilliant!

The Card Keeper sells for $8.49 at Paper Wishes
