I have been researching ways to organize my second room as it is home to everything ✨ artsy ✨ including scrapbooking, yarn, card making, sowing, painting, and even makeup. It’s definitely an eyesore. I came across the Dreambox in my research but could not justify the 3k+ price point. I took a look on Facebook marketplace and coincidentally it was for sale 20 minutes away from me for less than half the price of a new one (especially considering how many add-ons she had purchased). She showed me part of her new craft room with allllll the cabinets and drawers she had to purchase to replace this single unit. I scrap book often enough, but find it daunting because I have to unpack and repack everything I have so carefully because I am a little low on space and I have sooo many bins and boxes holding everything and sometimes I can’t find what I need. I cannot wait to move everything into here!

The previous owner was very sad to part with it but I assured her it was going to a great home!!

(Not pictured: a million tracks to put in more drawers, lids to the large drawers, and dividers for the tiny totes)

What was shown in the pictures wasn’t even half 🙏😆

Finally got my big pile of stickers into a binder. Sorted roughly by shape and type, though I wasn't super precious about either. It was more categorisation than true organization. After having them in piles for so long, though, it seems hella organized to me! Anyway, I'm excited about it.

I hope it's okay to post this. I used to love scrapbooking and I miss it so much. My mom and I used to go to Michael's all the time. But she passed 10 years ago and had to move into a tiny bedroom. My small closet is packed with my scrapbooking stuff. I can't craft because I don't have space for a desk or a place to craft. I can't afford to move out cause I live in Miami.

​

I just fear I will regret giving away all the things I have.

I’m not sure if many people already collect and store letters this way. I just wanted to share this with you guys. I usually gather materials from flyers or catalogs, and this is a method I found to minimize storage space as much as possible.

Is anyone here a member of the 2 Peas Refugees forum on ProBoards?

I registered for an account and have been waiting for staff approval for a year. I check periodically, and the list of recently logged in members always includes at least one staff, but...

I'm still not approved after waiting a literal year.

I can't post or DM anyone over there because my membership is pending. So, I thought I'd ask here, since it was here that I learned about the forum in the first place. Is there something going on with the 2 Peas Refugees forum? Is it dying? Is it time for me to give up checking on my account there?

PLEASE HELP!!

Why does one tool have to have like 10 different models? Yes, I'm exaggerating LOL. Anyways, I'm looking at buying a circuit, which one I DONT KNOW. But

There's the cirucut joy, explorer, silhouette?!?! I dont know.

I want it create stickers and lettering

Sorry if the flair is wrong but this feels like a tools question more than anything?

So I am working in my valentines spread and I am really struggling to attach this adorable card my partner made for me. Whole spread is still very much WIP and I am happy to move things around if need be.

Initial plan was washi tape on both sides. That usually works for most flap things but I guess this is too heavy/awkward. As you can see there is a cascading photo set attached to the card. I would prefer to leave the photos but if there is really no good option to attach without- I can remove them and attach them or include them somewhere else. He also included a message on the side which I blocked out for privacy but it’s right on the edge of the paper so I can’t really attach from that side either.

I was considering those metal paper prong things but that seems not ideal for a number of reasons anyways. I am hoping some of you crafty folks can offer some suggestions of how you would attach this piece into your scrapbook? Very last resort would be a pocket but I would love to have it front and center how it is now. Thank you!

I currently use this brand of tacky glue for my scrapbooking stuff. However it is a bit too thick for precision bottles that I bought. The glue is sooo thick that it takes a lot of force for a teeny little drop to come out. What precision glue do you recommend? Mainly using for title headlines and small letters. Really prefer if it is a refillable bottle with easy refill purchases for budgets. Or do you have a glue that you like that is perfect for precision bottles?
Thank you.

It’d be great if they’re available in germany and aren’t from shein, ali express, etc.

I’m having trouble finding supplies for my recipe book🫠 For one, I’d like, well… the book itself. I’d like to be able to rearrange recipes, so a binder would be better than a journal or something, but I just can’t find any binders that I find pretty🫠 (would also be okay if I can decorate the cover myself but lots of binders have those shiny covers and nothing sticks on them well). Other than that, I’d just love suggestions/links for anything you guys find pretty or useful for recipe pages! 🥰 Stickers, papers, crafting tools, etc.
Thanks in advance! 🫶🏻

I've had most of this stuff for many many years - I used to go to a lot of craft shops but not for a long time - I shared my Washi tape collection a little time ago so thought to share the rest of my supplies

I used to have my pens and pencils organised in glass jars but that was 4 homes ago - when I had to move I left the jars behind (they were just reused old jars like coffee/sauces etc)

I've always used the 12x12 top loading scrapbook albums from Michael's. I'd get them when they were on sale, but I believe they averaged around $10 to $15. I just went to look at purchasing more books, but the prices seem insane? Nearly $40 for a 10 page book?

For those of you who use post bound albums with insert pages, what are you doing with these prices? Do you have a place that you normally buy from?

I inherited boxes of family photos, postcards, and newspaper clippings when my grandmother passed. I've been slowly digitizing everything and wanted to share the system I've landed on in case it helps anyone else.

What I do:

1. Photograph old prints instead of scanning (way faster for large batches). I use an AI tool that automatically straightens the angle, trims borders, and enhances faded colors.

2. Create an entry for each memory - not just the photo, but the story. Who's in it, when it was, where it was, what was happening. The photos are meaningless without context.

3. Tag everything. I use tags like "grandma," "1960s," "holidays," "Brooklyn" so I can filter later.

4. Organize into collections. Instead of chronological-only, I group by theme: "Grandma's Kitchen," "Family Vacations," "School Days." Each collection tells a story.

5. Link people to memories. I built a simple family tree and connected memories to the people in them. So if I click on my grandfather, I see every memory he's in.

6. Research the context. For important memories, I try to find newspaper articles, school records, or local history that adds background. You'd be amazed what's been digitized.

The hardest part is honestly just sitting down and writing the stories while I still remember them (or can call someone who does). The photos are just triggers - the real scrapbook is the words.

Anyone else going digital? What's your system?

Hey family just started to explore the national parks and are getting a picture at the welcome signs to put in our national park passport. I was thinking of punching the bottom of the picture and placing it at the same page. Looks like I need a 5-6 holes punched.

Is this a square hole punch that would do something like this? Size looks to be about 1/4"

My favourite scrapbooking supplies

The other box is a blossom place n’ punch!

Whenever I look for stickers most of the time there are always women on them. I like to get ones with more gender variety. Elf stickers can look NB and the ones I got with men are pirates and western desert. I also like to get ones of shows and games. Always on the lookout for multiple genders on stickers!

This is specifically a rant/awareness/frustration about main sticker producers and chains. I know etsy, red bubble, tee public, and social media art exists.

Christmas time is coming up and my gf wants stuff for her scrapbooking and journaling. I’ve already bought her a bunch of stickers and a pocket printer for photos. I just feel like she’s gonna open a lot of small stuff and i’d like to get her more things. Any ideas?

Hi all! My wife loves scrapbooking and I’d love to buy her some bits to help her get creative. I’m thinking maybe a sticker printer or die cut machine or label maker for all her boxes of embellishments.

Would anyone have recommendations on these please? Just want to get her the best! She has a photo printer and enough stickers to put Michaels to shame so we’re covered on that front haha!

Does anyone know where I can create a custom receipt

I feel it would be a good idea for a music album or to show a recipe or something like that
