How do I go about opening my own scrapbooking store?

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under scrapbooking | 2 Comments »

I am looking into opening a scrapbooking/paperie in my home town. I think that we could really beneift from a place to buy scrap supplies and we don’t have anything like a paperie here. I am stuck, however, where do I start? How do I start? Any suggestions, websites, books…I should look into? Thanks

Before you do anything else, write out a business plan. Include where you will get your supplies, how much you will charge, how much your supplies will cost, what you store will look like, what it will be called, what the label design will be, and so on. Then you have to find a location. This is really the hardest part. You need to find one where lots of potential customers will go, and you won’t lose any due to not being in a convinent place. Choose a place in a shopping center with lots of stores that people go to (ie, a grocery store) that way you’ll have more customers and make a higher profit. Once you have a place figured out, you need to set your plan into action. Fix up your store and order your supplies. Then advertise- put up flyers everywhere you can think of and put coupons in the paper for 20% off your first purchase! You will start to get tons of customers and your store will spread by word of mouth. Try this link to find some books for entreperneurs and small business owners:

Does anybody know of a programmable home diecutter that can cut scrapbooking foam?

Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under scrapbooking | 1 Comment »

So far I’ve found the funtime scrapbooking pro diecutter, but it only cuts paper and cardstock. I’m looking for something that will allow me to program in my own designs, but that will cut thicker media, such as that scrapbooking foam (not sure what it’s called). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There’s an expensive machine called a CAD machine that factories use. The software is used to design it and the $50,000 machine has a electronic arm which can trace around the design as well as cut any fabric. Sorry I’ve not hear of anything you can uses at home except a electric wire cutter found in $2 shops. They are used to cut polystyrene. Good luck!

Way to organize all of my sewing and scrapbooking supplies?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under scrapbooking | 3 Comments »

I have loads of fabric and patterns and sewing supplies and tons of scrapbook paper and stuff that I hope to scrapbook in the future. Right now, I have a small desk with my sewing machine and a few unorganized boxes of fabric and patterns. I also have an ugly black plastic scrapbooking cart which I don’t really need (and would love to get rid of) Any suggestions on ways I can take up less space and keep all my stuff organized?

For my sewing stuff I use plastic totes and zip-lock bags. The totes come in so many colors and sizes and stack together really well (you should see the rainbow stacks I have. Sorry tho no pics). I color code mine with different fabrics in different totes (denim, cotton, quilting, flannel etc). And inside the totes I keep the different fabrics in individual bags (I’m sure the space bags would come in handy here too). Somewhere I acquired some really large bags but can’t remember where. Two or three yards of nicely folded fabric can fit in a standard one gallon bag tho.
As for project’s I’m currently working on….I keep everything in a tote just for that. I have fabric, pattern, thread, notions,….everything in there. It keeps things clean and together. When the project is complete I empty the tote and start with a new project.
Oh and if you have space on the wall to put shelves, brackets and boards from a local hardware/lumber store work great.
