Scrapbooking!

[catzinjammies]

I have just started scrapbooking, and now all these old photos seem to be creeping out of the woodwork! Why, I have enough to keep me busy for years! Plus the new pictures I continue to take, heh heh heh....

I have all the stuff but I STILL haven't started yet - still doing research

You've just inspired me to start a sketchbook!
I wanted to start a photography diary, but they are lots of monet. Scrap books are most fun. I once started... but had to chuck it away due to stuck in leaves going mouldy

I have bought a flower press so I can put flowers in mine - I am going to get started tonight!!!

i love it! sticking stuff all down is soooooo much fun, its like yoiu end up with a handbook of your life. i lpve those ones where you can fold them out to make a kind of stand-up picture, too...

My wife is scrapbooking for our daughter. My baby is only nine months and she has filled almost two of those huge binder notebooks.

I love scrapbooking! I'm still on my first book though because I seem to always have something else to do and forget about it. I got my Mom started on it and she has finished one book before I am even halfway through the first!

yeah it does, that's why i do a little at a time. My mom, though, woo! she could get into her scrapbooking from dawn until dusk without taking a break!

I am working on 2 scrapbooks right now... 1 for my mom and 1 for my mother in-law. They both had said they wanted copy's of our wedding pictures so I am making them both scrapbooks I think they will enjoy it.
I have found the best deals at GardenRidge where I get a huge pack (180 ct) of 12 x 12 paper for $9.99!! I don't get a bunch of stickers or clipart cause I usually draw things myself and glue it on I look for the best deal LOL.
Anyone else have money saving tips??

God Bless

I love to scrapbook too. I'm originally a quilter but the scrapbooking is very appealing too because the projects take less time and space, plus I get to look at pictures of my 3 little angels. I've been collecting scrapbooking stuff for almost 5 years but I only have about 20 pages done. There is always something else that has to be done before I can scrapbook (dishes, laundry, cook dinner)

I mostly use Close To My Heart stuff, I have 2 friends that sell it and I got hooked on it when I was overseas.

I LOVE to scrapbook!!! I use the 40 percent off coupons from Michael's and the Hobby Lobby I go to has a lot of stuff on clearance all the time. I also like Garden Ridge but it's kind of far from me so I only go if I see something in the weekly ad. I bought a 180 sheet pack of decorative paper called the SLAB at Michael's for $9.99 on sale (it's normally $19.99!!!). I don't use a lot of stickers either because I can just draw or scrapbooking chalk is really awesome to decorate your page.

I went to Michaels today with a coupon and got a new stamp and some new stamp pads!! Oh it is really exciting!! ... can't wait to do some scrapbooking!

I finished my Christmas stuff from last year this week. What a load is gone...

[rainonme]

scrapbooking is awesome! ive started one to go through my years of highschool and looking back on it...if i wouldnt have had those pictures i would never rememeber all the fun times ive had with my friends

I just got back from a scrapbooking weekend. In 3 days I only got 6 pages done. I'm such a perfectionist I need to chill. Does anyone have any ideas on how to let go and just get it done, and it still be fun???

I did have lots of fun eventhough I'm slow.

Ah, scrapbooking. I absolutely love it. Since we are a homeschooling family, I have to discipline myself not to lock myself away with my photos, paper, and stickers during school hours. School's out, now, though, and I have been allowing myself to work an hour or so every morning while my teenagers and I listen to Bott Radio. Hobby Lobby has all their supplies half price this week, and I've had to go restock.

I wish I could give pointers about relaxation, but I can't. The process comes pretty easily to me. Once I get started, I can usually get a two-page layout done in two hours. Now that includes planning, cropping, and peeling the backing off all of the mounting tape. That's the hardest part!

I totally agree about the mounting tape. I tried use photosafe glue, but that can really mess up pictures if you're not careful so now I use the glue on everything except the pictures (dye cuts, borders, memorabilia, frames...etc.)

You know I think my problem is that I think too much. Yeah, I'll have to stop that.

I love to scrapbook too. I'm getting ready to do some pages of my daughter's high school graduation. I then need to buckle down and do the scrapbook of her 4 years in marching band. Wow, I've got soooo much to do I need to catch up!
