The Pantry

Some supplies earn their place on the craft table because they simply make creating easier. The Pantry is where I keep the tools, products, and little extras I reach for again and again when I’m scrapbooking, telling stories, printing photos, or working on whatever happens to be on my table that day.

I’m not interested in telling you that you need every new thing that comes along. Most of us already have plenty tucked away in drawers, bins, and cabinets. I’d much rather help you use what you have and point you toward something new only when I think it can genuinely make your creative time easier or more enjoyable.

My Scrapbooking Staples

These are the basic supplies I find myself reaching for over and over again, from paper trimmers and adhesives to pens, cardstock, dimensional foam, and the other everyday pieces that help a scrapbook page come together.

Tools I Actually Use

There are plenty of crafty gadgets in the world, but these are the tools that have earned a regular place in my creative space. I’ll share what I use them for, why I like them, and when I think they are actually worth adding to your own stash.

Printing Your Photos

Your photos cannot make it into your scrapbook if they stay buried on your phone. Here you’ll find the photo-printing options, apps, and simple tricks I use to get pictures off my screen and onto my table without turning it into another giant project.

From My Craft Room

Every so often I find something that makes me wonder how I managed without it, whether it is a storage solution, a favorite pen, a handy little tool, or something completely unrelated to scrapbooking that makes creative life easier. Those discoveries will find their way into the Pantry too.

Use What You Have First

Before you buy anything, take a look through what you already own. Chances are, you have paper waiting to be cut, embellishments waiting to be used, and photos waiting for a story. The Pantry is here when you need a little help filling in the gaps, not filling another cabinet.
