Traditional scrapbooks are created by a single person who chooses what to scrapbook, the layout, photo selection, and journaling. With Memory Jar Scrapbooking, you can help your customers get their whole family involved! They can set the charming Memory Jar on a counter, desk, or mantle and place little scraps of paper and a pen nearby. Each member of the family, and even visiting friends, can add a little note. Help your customers to imagine reading favorite adventures from the kids’ point of view in their handwriting, love notes from your sweetie, ticket stubs from a favorite movie, a quick scribble about something silly the kids say, or how tall they were at their check-up. Capture and preserve all the memories that make up everyday life – all from a variety of perspectives. Now that’s a team effort which will develop into a meaningful scrapbook! So let’s get started!

Reorganizing Ink Refills

by ktstamps, 2:23 AM
For a long time I stored my Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills on the top of my Color Caddy. Makes sense—the bottle colors were supposed to be in the container above the row of corresponding ink pad colors. However, when I needed one I would end up looking through many (if not all the bottles in that section)—twice—to find the one I wanted to use. Sometimes I wouldn’t find it at all because I didn’t return it to the proper location the last time it was used. (It seems like a silly thing to be frustrated over, but there you go!)

So, a while back I decided that it was time to reorganize my refills! My thought process . . . will I organize them by spectrum? Where will I put them? How can they be easily accessed?

Here was my solution!


Each color family is in its own placon box—and to my surprise, they all fit together . . . nice and snug! They don’t slide around, turn upside down, or end up out of order (heaven forbid)! And— because the cute factor IS important—I added labels to the boxes with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and my favorite cardstock color from each color family. (Tip: To protect the label from getting dirty, die cut a label Window Sheet piece to attach over the top.) 

Of course, with the new storage boxes coming out, and new colors, I knew it was already time for an update. And, wouldn’t you know—MDS is here to help me, too! There is a new download called “Label This Craft Room.” It is a great tool for organizing your craft room/space supplies. This time, I made the font my favorite color and printed on Whisper White Cardstock


See the Label Your Craft Room download here.

I hope this little tidbit has helped—and that when you can buy the new storage boxes on May 31, you’ll be just as excited to organize. I have certainly wanted to use my refills more often now that I can find the one I need in a jiff!
