Creating a School Scrapbook

In my ongoing quest to find new things to scrapbook, I just came up with yet another one. Over the years I have kept important school papers in binders. I label each binder with my child’s name and the grade. It is so neat to go back several years and look at their work. Now I don’t keep everything.

The binders are nice because it keeps everything organized but they … Continue reading →

A Scrapbook for Everyone

My children aren’t quite ready to move out but when they do I want to have a scrapbook dilemma solved. I would love to send them off with scrapbooks that they can keep and eventually pass on down to their children. The problem is if I give away all my scrapbooks to them, I will have nothing left. I haven’t quite arrived where I would like to be but a few years ago I started trying to solve that problem by creating multiple scrapbooks. Ideally you should have duplicates made of your pictures. The best way to go about this … Continue reading →

Arccivo

As most of you know, I love discovering new and innovative products to use in my scrapbooks, or for scrapbooking in general.

I immediately called another friend, who owns a scrapbook store and asked if … Continue reading →
