Martha Stewart has done it again! She has this great home decoration for halloween, which as you all know is just right around the corner. This one is a vampire, which is very ‘in’ this year:
Came across a really good deal on Scrapbook.com for these stackable paper trays. Storage becomes a necessary hurdle to jump for any hardcore scrapbooker, you have all this product and need to find ways to organize it. Makes a great addition to the serious scrapbooker’s home studio.
Also, I really love that they are clear, allowing you to easily see your paper. And since they are lipless, it’s really easy to remove paper even from the bottom of a stack.
Bazzill Basics creates some great crafting supplies, I <3 their cardstock and paper designs. They also carry some great Halloween prints for the coming holiday:
Organization is a key element for the traditional scrapbooker. You’ve got all these papers, adhesives, and tools- various products that needs a place to be when you aren’t scrapbooking. The Crop in Style XXL tote is large enough to carry a good amount of scrapping items and provides amazing convenience for the scrapper that loves to go to crops frequently.
Take a peek, you don’t have to take my word for it…
