Crafter's Notebooks

A while back I made some crafter's notebooks that I can refer to when creating.


I refer to these books quite often with the except of the dry embossing book.  I created this along time ago when I was really into dry embossing, this was before I starting stamping.  I can't tell you the last time I looked in that book.


This book is where I keep all my box templates.  Each box instructions are kept in a page protector.  For the Timeless Templates and Simple Click templates, I print out the template on cheap cardstock that I purchased at Walmart so I have on hand in case my computer crashes.  I did save them to a disc as well.


This next book is of miscellanous templates that I have downloaded or of instruction to make anything but a card, hense the title of the book.  Again, each project is in it's own page protector.


This book is of card tutorials and card sketches. I think I will move my color inspirations here as well.



This book is used quite often.  I download pics of  cards, gift sets, etc... that inspire me especially from the design team girls from PTI.  

I also have a book of sewing projects and a book of card versus that I can refer to when creating the inside of a card.

I hope you enjoyed looking at some ways that help me stay organized and inspired.

Hugs
Lisa

  8. Duh! I had to make a notebook like this in my pattern drafting class, but I never thought of doing it for my other crafting loves!
    I'm obviously missing the organizing gene!
