Make Scrapbooking More Manageable

I love scrapbooking; however, the hobby can suck-up a ton of time. Even if you have a few years of scrapbooking under your belt, you can easily spend multiple hours crafting a single layout. That time can double or even triple, if you are adding tiny embellishments, intricate memorabilia, or a large journaling block. The key to keeping on task is to avoid getting overwhelmed by your project. Often, I procrastinate when crafting page designs because of the time commitment. Fortunately, there are ways you can create an eye-catching layout without having to pull several all-nighters. For example, if journaling … Continue reading →

Every scrapbooker is different. There are different levels that we are at, different styles we use, different techniques we try and different articles and layouts we seek.

Working With the Right Supplies

There’s no faster way to ruin an exceptionally beautiful scrapbook layout than by using the wrong type of supplies. If you are just getting started with your scrapbooking adventures, don’t make the mistake of purchasing non acid-free paper. Using traditional paper may be tempting, as it is affordable and easily accessible, but it will inevitably compromise all of your hard work. To preserve your precious family pictures, so they can be viewed by future generations, you must be very careful about the type of paper you use. Regular paper degrades as it ages and creates acid that fades photos. Conversely, … Continue reading →

What’s Your Favorite Color?

Posted on by

As scrapbookers, we think a lot about color. Which ones look good together, and which ones absolutely do not. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you could only use 3 colors on your scrapbook layouts? I saw this question asked in a scrapbooking forum, and it got me thinking. For one, I almost always want to use black and white on every layout. It’s a thing of mine. I like bright bold colors, and it seems that if I throw some black and white in there too, that I have the perfect, eclectic look I love. … Continue reading →
