Are you having trouble organizing your scrapbook space? Well, have no fear, you are not alone. There are many ways to organize your space, but, can you afford it. If you are on a limited budget, especially that which you can spend on your scrap habit, then the last thing you want to do is blow that budget on expensive scrapbook containers just to organize yourself. You don't have to break the bank just to get organized. Using a little creativity, you can use items from around the house to make your scrap space a little more manageable.

• From time to time, we all have empty containers such as glass jars like mayonnaise jars, baby food containers, spaghetti sauce jars to name just a few. Next time you find yourself reaching into the recycle bin to dispose properly of these containers, be sure to think twice. Empty containers make perfect storage holders for loose ribbon, beads, brads, confetti, and buttons.
• Empty boxes around the house - use these boxes to organize your tools, scrap paper, stickers, etc.
• Bigger boxes can be cut down to organize your paper - you can also use extra cardboard to divide paper up by color, size, etc.

Being organized doesn’t have to be expensive. Use your creativity to come up with something that works without having to buy something. You can always use some of your scraps to dress us those boxes, containers, etc.
