Bill Payer Cabinet by Ballard Designs

This cabinet by Ballard Designs was meant to be a mini center for paying bills, hence the name, Bill Payer Cabinet. But Stacy Julian thinks it will make a great portable scrapbooking cabinet.

Here’s the manufacturer’s description:

Crafted of pine and pine veneers, the scalloped stationary caddy on top lifts out for sorting mail anywhere. Slide-out desk beneath is perfect for writing checks and notes. Top two drawers hold supplies while the bottom drawer accommodates your legal- or letter-size files. Antique brass pulls have slots for your own labels. Pockets on either side keep active files at your fingertips. Hidden casters make it easy to roll out of the way until next month.

I can see how this can easily be adapted to organize scrapbooking supplies. Available in black or white; 39 1/2″H x 24 1/4″W x 15 1/4″D.

A Designer’s Eye for Scrapbooking with Patterned Paper

Ali Edwards’ second book A Designer’s Eye for Scrapbooking with Patterned Paper continues the inspiration started by her first book. This time, the focus is on designing with patterned paper.

The book is organized by type of patterned paper (circles, florals, text and geometric). With it, you’ll learn to:

* Embrace the fun of working with patterned paper (it’s not so scary).

* Choose the patterned paper that best expresses the story you want to tell.

* Mix and match a variety of patterns to create totally cool and timeless layouts.

* Store and organize your paper for easy access.

* Create meaningful and well-designed pages with patterned paper scraps from your stash.

* Select page embellishments that work with, rather than overwhelming, your patterned paper.

The book is now available on Amazon.com.
