Help From the Kitchen

When organizing your scrapbooking supplies, why not look to the wealth of kitchen organizing tools to help you? Here are three ideas to get you thinking and help you look at ordinary kitchen tools in a different way. These everyday kitchen organizers keep your supplies visible and handy, both when you need to use them and when it’s time to put everything away.

While originally made to keep cooking utensils organized, editor-in-chief Stacy Julian uses this Tool Turnabout from Pampered Chef to store her writing utensils, scissors, rulers, and other small items. With this turnabout in your scrapping space, you’ll have your writing tools organized in a snap.
