The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker

July 23, 2008 | Filed Under Books | 196 Comments

Updated: The winner is The Austell Family!

I have always tended to be more concerned about the functional when it comes to organizing and not so much the fabulous. It wasn’t until I started reading Aby Garvey’s blog, Creative Organizing, that I realized that those two things can in fact go hand in hand. Aby inspires me not with expensive organizing solutions but inexpensive ones that have been “touched up” with simple organizing supplies.

So when given the opportunity recently to read Aby’s new book, The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker, I jumped at the chance.

Overwhelmed by creative clutter? With 26 years of combined experience, professional scrapbooker Wendy Smedley of Simple Scrapbooks and professional organizer Aby Garvey of simplify 101 will guide you through the process of creating your very own organized and inspired workspace. Overflowing with tips, quizzes, projects, and inspired scrapbook spaces, The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker will help you define your scrapbooking approach and discover how to organize your stash in ways that support your hobby. Plus, you will learn from the beautiful spaces of Stacy Julian, Renee Pearson, and other inspiring scrapbookers.

This book is by far the most beautiful book I have ever read. No kidding, the pictures are bright, colorful and just plain stunning. I was blown away. I’d love to just cut them all out and use them as art but that’s probably not what Aby had in mind

The content is equally as delicious. Now to be honest I gave up scrapbooking in albums years ago however what I do enjoy doing is scrapbooking other things like composition books, pictures, gifts, etc. The nice thing about this book is, regardless of what kind of scrapbooker you are, it aids you in creating a functional AND fabulous workspace (no matter how big or small) designed to meet both your vision and your goals.

The more aware you are of the reasons you scrapbook, the easier it is for you to navigate through all the choices you face: which photos to use, which products to buy, how to organize your stuff, what stories to tell, and so on. Identify what truly inspires you and drives you and it will become your ultimate filter, laying the foundation for everything else. You can easily eliminate clutter by cutting out the supplies and ideas that get in the way of what you really want to accomplish.

Doesn’t that sound exciting?! The book then goes on to help you do just that and even comes complete with a workbook (found in the pocket on the inside back cover) to help you pull it all together. You’ll fill out short quizzes that will inspire you to create real and lasting change in your scrapbook space!

Section 1 ~ walks you through the eight components of a scrapbook and offers specific organization and storage solutions for each element

Section 2 ~ gives you an up-close look at the workspaces of a few successful and productive scrapbookers. Plus you’ll learn how to select and incorporate the right organizing strategies for your space and your lifestyle.

Section 3 ~ you’ll roll up your sleeves and get to work on inspiring projects for your workspace. Instructions to make the following are included:

Album Labels
Mini Quote Book
Photo Checklist
Mini Artwork Display
Journal Kit
Inspiration Statement Board
Magnetic Tin Labels
Seasonal Photo Box and dividers
Get-out-of-a-Rut Jar
Workspace Design File

The Organized & Inspired Scrapbookeris indeed inspiring with it’s step-by-step instructions and amazing visual impact which literally provides you with hundreds of organizing solutions in pictures for all your scrapbooking needs. From an organizer’s point of view I definitely can’t recommend this book enough.

And I’m so excited that Aby has offered to giveaway a copy of her book to one of you as well. Please leave a comment on this post before Monday, July 28th, 6:00 pst for your chance to win. Please also make sure you leave a way for me to get in touch with you. Thanks and good luck!!

Since having my daughter 17 months ago, I lost my space and some time to scrapbook. Before she was born I created a huge collections of great stuff to use. I would love to start again but just dont seem to have the space. I would love inspiration on what and where to do it

I would love to have this book…I have just recently started back into my scrapping after moving a year ago…trying to figure out the best way to organize my “loot” has been a huge headache.

We’ve just moved and I’m getting ready to set up a scrapbooking area and storage in my new place so I would love to learn from the pros!

I used to scrapbook alot before my second child. I turned my craft room into their room and would love ideas on how to organize all my leftover things!

Absolutely love this book even before reading what is written, the pictures are worth a thousand words!

This sounds like a fabulous Book! I am just starting to scrapbook because I have a new grandbaby. The scrapbooks I made for my daughters were done with little flare! I want the GB’s to be really special so she will have fun looking through it when she is grown and I am gone!

I so need this book!

Scrapbooking is my #1 favorite hobby! I’m always up for beautiful books on the topic. Thanks for offering a great contest.

i would love this book. i could use some new tips as to how to organize my scrapbooking/card making area well!

I am always looking for ways to organize my scrapbooks and things I use to make them. This is one part of my life that seems to be a never ending clutter!

I’m losing my scrapbooking room now as we downsize from our 1600 sq ft home with full basement to a 900 sq ft apt. I CAN’T imagine losing my room but this book would definately help me find creative ways to still keep my stuff as I downsize.

that sounds fantastic!! I only have a small desk where I can scrapbook, and can always use new ideas on how to organize it.

Timing is perfect, we are building a new workstation in our house from the computer, homework time, and scrap booking which is a brand new hobby for me. Since I am OBSESSED with organization, I’d love to have this book for any new ideas before we put the new station in!

Creative organizing….I’m all over it! Sign me up. I’ve thought about just putting a giant tarp over everything but this sounds nicer, lol!
Blessings,
Kim

This looks fabulous! I have a scrapspace in the basement, but my supplies are all over the place. I’d love to find a way to have everything at my fingertips.

We are getting ready to move to a much smaller home, but I don’t want to have to leave all my scrapping stuff packed away due to “lack of space” This book would be a great starting place for getting my stuff in my home and accessible. Moving is tough already, I need to scrap! allgooddog@hotmail.com

I so need help with this! I did great until my 2nd child was born…and now I have 3. help!

Being a graphic designer, and home decor junkie, this book appeals to ALL my creative senses… Yummy, yum, YUM!

Love your blog — I’ve linked to it at JoeGirl.com… come by for a visit!

Thanks for the amazing tips

Joe

I am a scrapbooking wantabe! I have a few things but I just don’t know where to start. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

Organizing & Scrapping…the perfect combo!

Everyone I know who scrapbooks all agree with me that half the fun of the hobby is collecting, handling, and organizing the wonderful papers and embellishments. I am no exception to this rule, and there would be no book I’d rather add to my collection than this one! Thanks for the review, and the offer to get it for free!
TM

thats all I am sayin

Wow! I think this is awesome. It sounds like an awesome book, and ya know, I was gonna do a search to see what I needed to do to get started with scrapbooking- sounds like just what I need to get started!Thanks!

I have been scrapping a lot this summer and could really use this. Awesome.

stacymommyof3@juno.com

this is just what I’ve been looking for… I would love this!!

Sounds like an awesome book and just what I need for my somewhat messy and unorganized scrap space!

I bought this book and LOVE IT!!! I’ve sat down while revamping my scraproom many times to get ideas when I get stuck. Along with the Organizing Tips book, I was able to make a big difference!

I love reading Aby’s blog just as much as I love reading your blog. I would love to win this book, it looks great and would help me organize myself. Count me in! Thanks for your great blog.

My scrapbook area needs a makeover! I would love helpful ideas!!

Wow, was a fantastic-looking desk! I am inspired. This is an exciting giveaway – I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Thanks!

sophiaonfire(at)gmail(dot)com

I think that more often than not I put of my scrapbooking because I’m not organized. This book would most certainly help me!

What a wonderful idea. Please include me in your drawing.

Looks AWESOME! Please include me!

Sounds like a good book! I’d love to win it.

Thanks!
Laura

OOH. Those pictures do look pretty.

A more organized crafter gets more crafting done because she doesn’t have to spend so much time looking for all her “stuff.”

The organized crafter would be me .. in a more perfect world. I’d like to see if the book could help.

I’ve had my eye on this book for awhile…and since my birthday is this weekend, I think it would be the perfect gift for you to get me. Thank you!

This looks great! I’d love to win!

I need to get my photos off the computer and onto some pages…and the only thing that’s holding me back right now is some organized space!
blakeslp@comcast.net

Hey! This is on my wish list at Amazon…I am an avid scrapbooker and consistently struggle with the organization of my supplies…especially since right about the time I get them organized, the manufacturers come up with a new kind of packaging and blow my organizational method!

So glad you love it-
I am too a huge fan of Aby’s!!
Thanks for the review
Wendy

Thanks for the review! After doing a major overhaul of my and dd’s bedrooms I have some time and space on my hands and have felt my scrapping calling me! This might be the perfect reason to start again!

I am going to an all day crop on Saturday. I’m so unorganized that I feel stressed. This should be fun not stressful! I could really use this book. I’m writing down the name right now! Thanks for this. I really need this one for sure (actually I need all of the things you review and you to come over and fix it all for me but this is a nice start).

If only MY scrapbook space looked like hers!! Can they throw that in the giveaway too?? Only kidding.

I will FINALLY have a scrapbook space, I would love to have this book as a help.

I’m always looking for better ways to organize my scrapbooking space. This book sounds like a great resouce!

I used to be an avid scrapbook, that was 2 children ago. I now have 5, and cleaning up, and trying to keep all my “stuff” organized was hard to do with 5 children. Now that my husband is deploying, I would love to get into it again just to document his life, and ours to give him a few books about what life was like while he was away for a year. I loved reading everyone else’s comments on scrapbooking and organizing. It has reminded me of the passion I once had!

Would love to win this book. When I get in the scrapbooking mood, my scrapbooking supplies and mess take over my life and house until I can’t stand it anymore and pack it all away again.

I’ve resisted throwing mmyself into scrapbooking, knowing that I’d just end up with a huge mess. This book would really help me start in the right place.

Wow! This is the book for me. I just started to try and turn my closet in to my scrapbooking space. I got started and then stumped. Would love the inspiration!

I soooooo need this. Help, Please!! LOL!

Wow awesome book!

I read her blog and love it! The book looks so inspiring and I could certainly use some of that to get me started scrap booking.

Oh, boy! I love to organize and I love scrapbooking. I sure could use this! I may have to go buy it if I don’t win it. Thanks for the awesome review and great giveaway.

Hello! Thanks for reviewing this book and hosting a giveaway! It looks amazing.

I need this book! Great give away!
cnmayberry at gmail dot com

I could use a great book like that!!!

kwhorton@bellsouth.net

A book like this would be helpful to me!

I’m a beginning scrapbooker, so this would be very helpful to me!

Hi, Looks like fun

I love buying scrapbook supplies…not so great at organizing them. Love to get some new ideas! LOVE THE WEBSITE

teecat3354@hotmail.com

What a great book! I was very organized before my first child – then there was another and then another! Now that the youngest is 3, trying very hard to regain control! We all actually started scrapbooking this summer — starting with summer memories!

nashvillemel@comcast.net

I’ve been lacking in time to scrapbook because I feel overwhelmed when I think of all of the stuff I have to get out in order to actually proceed with scrapbooking. It’s all kept together in a space all too small so it ALL has to come out in order to even get started. I’m feeling inspired now because I see it can be done and readily accessible! Thanks for letting us know about this book!

I would love to win this book! I love to scrapbook but get overwhelmed with all my stuff!! TO learn to organize it in a more productive way would be so great! Thank you for offering this! I love your blog and all your great ideas!

God bless you ~ Julie

I hope I win (don’t we all)

sounds like a fabulous book. I’m more of a “simple” scrapbook-er, and I’m always looking for ways to streamline.

112

Love. Inspiring. Books!
Yeah!

113

Oh to have a scrapbook room like the one on the cover. It would be heaven!

114

That would definitely help me in my lack of scrapbook know-how!

115

This sounds like a great resource! It would be wonderful to have.

116

I would absolutely LOVE to have this book! I haven’t srapbooked for 2 years! I moved to Savannah from Atlanta and then got diagnosed with MS. But I have recently gotten bitten with the scrapbooking bug again and this book would definitely help me!
I love your blog!

117

I would love to have this book! I am in the process of moving to a new house now and will finally have room to spread out and organize my craft stuff! This would be fabulous to win!!

118

This sounds like an excellent book! I haven’t been able to scrapbook as much as I’d like and I have a very small area to work in. Thanks for the opportunity!

119

I would enjoy a copy of this book! Any help with organizing is needed in my life right now!

When it comes to “organized scrapbooking”, I have two words to inspire you all:

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING

No muss. No fuss. After your program (mine was less than $30 at Sam’s Club,) you can actually scrap for FREE with all the superior designer freebies around. And the best part? You can just “undo” anything you don’t like. Oh yeah, you can also reuse things over and over again without incurring more costs (or paper cuts!).

Think of all the glitter and glue mess you’ll never have – go digital!

122

I am so inspired! As Mommy to two little girls, I NEEEEEEED this book! Thanks for sharing the review and giving the chance to win the book. You can reach me at mlmiller76 @ yahoo.

123

What an inspiring book!

124

As a mom of 4, I’m happy if all my scrapbooking stuff is in one room (which it’s not)- this book looks fantastic!

125

I would LOVE to get this book. Count me in for the drawing! Fingers crossed….

126

I am infatuated with other peoples nice clean and organized scrapbook areas because mine is far from it. I collect pictures of what I like for my “someday” file. My husband has promised me a room like this someday. Thanks to you and Aby for the great giveaway. hjtorbs@sbcglobal.net

127

I would love to get my hands on this. I have so many scrapbooking items just stuffed around the house. Please count me in.

128

The book looks yummy. Count me in for the draw!

129

Wow! 127 comments already! My odds aren’t great, but sign me up for the giveaway. We are moving our business office into our basement this week and where I used to have my very own room just for scrapbooking and crafts, is now going to be 2 offices! My supplies will now be sharing space in the guest bedroom. I could definitely use some creative ideas on the best way to use that space.

130

Awesome! That book is just what I need right now. We are just starting to build a new home, and amazingly enough, I will have the whole end of a laundry/mud room to set up as a permanent scrapbooking area – no more shoving supplies in closets all over the house! I really have no idea how to set up this space, and will need to figure out what I want before they order the cabinets, etc. so I most definitely need to read this book for inspiration and ideas.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

not only is this book beautiful to look at…it’s so practical. we can all use inspiration and the simplicity is so calming. Scrapbooking is not just a hobby…it’s a way to preserve our families’ history. It’s about time we made room for creativity in the PLACE where we create! Thanks for the review!

132

I would love to have this book. I’m currently working on a scrapbook for my fiance’s 50th birthday. It will consist of 50 pages, one for each year, with song lyrics, poems, etc that remind me of him and also, because he loves jokes, I’m including a cartoon or joke on each page along with 50 reasons why I love him, 50 love quotes and 50 things I want to do with him after we are married. While working on this project, I’m having a hard time keeping my supplies organized, so this book would be a blessing for when I start my next project. Thanks for the entry – koinonia572001@yahoo.com

133

Ok, seriously… I dream about scrapbooking… literally dream about it at night because I just can’t seem to find the time to do it during the day now that I have a 22 month old and a 2 month old. I had to move my stuff out of her room and into a cabinet and it’s such a mess that I just don’t even know where to begin… HELP ME!! I could really use the book for inspiration on getting organized so I can make those dreams come true and get to scrappin’ again!!

134

I would love to get organized. Everytime I get going we seem to be moving again. At this moment I have scrap materials scattered in just about every room of the house and it makes for challenges when you want to just put it together!

135

The books sounds great! I’ve just started clearing out some space in our attic to set up my scrapping space and this book would be very helpful to me.

137

I love to scrapbook, but I don’t have the time nor the space. Just yesterday I rearranged my quest bedroom to make room for my crafts, sewing, and scrapbooking supplies. This would help out tramendously! Then instead of getting frustrated I could find what I need and create.

138

would love to win this book looks gorgeous!

139

That looks wonderful! I’ve been trying to re-energize myself back into scrapbooking (along with everything else, it seems), and just have not had any inspiration. That definitely looks like the perfect muse!

140

143

how wonderful! That book sounds like it would save my life!

144

The books looks like something I could really use to help get my closet with all of my scrapbooking supplies organized. i would love to have it!!

145

I’m about as unorganized as you can get! I really could use alot of advice on organizing my mess of scrapbooking material!

Hugs!!!

151

I would love to win this and I definitely need some help in the organizational department..thanks

152

What a fantastic book! Scrapbooking is a hobby I’d love to get into more, but I walk into a store and instantly get overwhelmed! I have some things to get a vacation book started (easy start and finish), but I would love to read the ideas and find out what “style” booker I am!

153

Hello! A couple of years ago, my husband made me my own scrapbooking room in our basement. It is wonderful and I love it. It is such a mess, thoug, that I can’t use it anymore. Stuff is stacked up and so unorganized. I could use this book immensely. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

WOW lot of people are in need of organization with scrapbooking supplies! well let’s see 4 kids(baby is 8 months) Six of us live in 920 sq. ft! I am going to write a book on small living space in my next life! (I often joke this to my friends!)Well my dear husband built some wire shelving to put all my stash on(some inherited, some is 10 years old- which is my oldest son’s age) I told him,”boy, I hope I can find the time to scrapbook since you went to all the trouble to put these 2 shelves up.” the rest is in storage. Hubby just looks at me with the “YOu-better-use-them-or-else-look”
Well I am sad to say I have been trying to get organized for 10years! and still haven’t used my stuff! Need that book
thanks

I have tons of scrapbook stuff and never use it anymore because what used to be fun is now a job way bigger than I am. This book might help me organize my thoughts and purpose in ways that get me going again.Thanks for a great giveaway.

158

I currently have my scrapbook supplies set up in my basement and I have room for everything but it’s being overtaken by junk down there and I can’t even get to my work area. After my daughter moves into her apartment in September, I’m moving it all upstairs into her bedroom so setting it up is where I’ll completely need help. I have no idea how to do it to best serve my purposes and way of working. This book sounds exactly like what I need and at exactly the right time. I have a blank slate and I can do it however I want to! This is exciting! I would absolutely love the book!

I am lacking inspiration at the moment. Maybe something like this will help.

160

I desperately need this one!! I’m moving to take a better job and will be losing my scrap space for a while!!

161

This book would be great! I have such an unorganized area right now, I can’t find a thing, not even the table. I have just become an SU demonstrator so not only am I adding quickly to my stash of stuff, I need to have all my stuff organized in order to run my business efficiently!!

I love scrapbooking but have trouble sorting through the mess- especially when the book is in progress. Any help would be really welcome! Thanks for reviewing this product.

164

I tend to always have a scrapbooking mess. I never like to put pages or stickers or anything away if my singular current page is unfinished, so I usually end up with a very ungraceful pile on the scrapping desk.

Oh my goodness…organinzing & scrapbooking..the 2 things I am horrible at, all rolled into 1 beautiful booK? I am SO in! If I don't win, I'm gonna find this book anyway.

Would LOVE this! Since my daughters were born, I don’t get much ‘me’ time, but this would be amazing and possibly just enough inspiration to get the creative juices flowing again!

I just found your blog the other day and have been checking in everyday. I am BURIED in scapbook stuff and haven’t made a book in four years. It’s just too overwhelming and I don’t know where to start. Would love to have this beautiful book.

Fabulous! I would love to win this one…I have been re-doing my home office with a scrapbook supply area as one of my major priorities. I would love more cute ideas!

Fabulous! 2 of my passions combined… I am an avid organizer (so glad to have stumbled upon your blog!) and a would-be scrapbooker. Funny thing is I started scrappin’ but ended up organizing… Hope you pick me!

I really need something like this. I just got my husbands junk out of our spare bedroom (I had to sacrifice our master bedroom to do it though LOL, his junk is all in there now), so I really need to learn to organize my scrapbooking stuff so I can actually feel like scrapbooking.

Just in case, I have an email form on my blog.

I absolutely love your blog! I’ve been following it for about a year. I just never really commented, just a peeker! I am crazy about organizing all the time! And i’ve gone full blown with scrapping, it’s turning into a crazy obsession!

Woo hoo, my first comment: The free book sounds great but regardless…I LOVE YOUR SITE/BLOG whatever it is (I’m a bit new to this blogging thing, actually I’m clueless) One day I’ll get the courage/time to start blogging on my own!
I have adopted twin boys (2 1/2 yrs. now) and WANT to make lifebooks for them, so the giveaway would be a hit for us:)
Thanks for all your wonderful recipes, tips, ideas, etc.
