Scrappy Blog Mania

Posted on by

A few years ago when I was scrapping a ton, scrapbook blogs weren’t all that popular. Maybe they were, and I just didn’t know it because I didn’t have a blog myself at the time. But, now that I currently run 4 blogs, aside from writing here, I have blogging on my mind. Big surprise huh?

When I am on message boards, and forums, everyone is promoting their … Continue reading →

Much like a traditional potluck, each person contributes a favorite item to the mix. In the case of scrapbooking, you could be asked to donate some photos, memorabilia or stories that tie into the theme of the album. The individual items are then put together to create a single layout or used throughout the entire book. An anniversary memory book lends itself well to potluck scrapping. The nature of the occasion allows you … Continue reading →

Letters for Your Kid’s Room

Scrapbooking often seeps over into our everyday lives. When we are really in a scrapping mode, and making tons of new layouts, and have a fountain of creativity flowing, we can see scrapbooking in everything! At one such time in my life, on was on the hunt for some cute wooden letters to hang in my son’s bedroom. I was having a hard time finding some that fit with his nursery decor, that still were semi-masculine. It is a very popular trend now to hang letters in a child’s room that spell out their name. I had that in my … Continue reading →
