sizesmith asked:
I love scrapbooking. I’d like to know the best ways to organize everything and your favorite tools. Especially if someone has purchased, or designed a desk or area to scrapbook at. Thanks!

My favorite thing is, kitchen towel bars that I got from IKEA
and I bought some extra baskets that you could purchase separately and I store my punches on the bars, and all kinds of goodies in the baskets. I love it but I can’t take credit for coming up with it, I saw it in my Stampin Up Demo magazine.

scrapbooking
my fav’s:
1. grage sale kitchen table 40×40 perfect size for working on plus all the “crap” I end up dragging out.
2. IKEA’s rod and hanging baskests and hooks.
3. IKEA’s kitchen knife magnet strips. stong enough to hold dies, and tins without slipping off.
4. The best of all, hubby picked up from a school that was remodeling, an old in-box for teachers mail. You know the ones in the office with all the slots for teachers mail. 40 slots, each one holds 1 IRIS plastic box. Best way to store paper, flowers, alphabets, ink etc… I painted it and had a piece of glass cut for the top to protcet it. I keep pic’s under the glass and all my Jim Holt tins ontop. Looks great and very functional.
EDIT: also love the bar height table hubby made for me. Just 20 inches deep, but 5 feet long. Has a tile top. Great for laying out stuff when I come home from shopping, or for deciding on a layout before I sit and do it. Also good for use as a die cut center. able to stand straight up, no more aching back from making a zillion letters for something.

PhotoMix software is my favorite. I use it all the time. I can create a wide variety of projects with it, as well as customize it to my liking. Weather I want a crazy and fun project or an elagent and fancy project.
They also have a great selection of templates and addins (most are free). And they are always looking for more ideas.
They even have a tutorial sections that helps you if you get stuck using the program…even though the program is very easy to use. And they have a support staff that is there to answer any questions you may have.
You can even add your own pics, backgrounds, clipart ect.. You can also save your projects as photos and print them where ever you want to.
I recommend this to everyone. It is not free but it is only a one time charge and it is well worth the money…you even get free updates.
