Thanks

cardznscrapz.com is the best website ever! its not the cheapst out there but the things from it are excellent.
Does anyone know of any good places that are cheap, but still have cute scrapbooking ideas + items.
If you could tell me, that would help me out a lot!
thanks
Target has a lot of cute scrapbooking stuff now… JoAnnes fabric store has a TON of stuff. Doller tree and dollar general have stuff too, but make sure they are acid free before you buy otherwise there is a chance you will screw up your pictures. Wal-mart has some cute stuff, Hobby Lobby and Michaels are my two favorites though. To find lots of paper, pens, stickers, adhesive, and other fun scrapbooking goodies, check out Ebay.
I need to find a place to find a 10X10 or larger scrapbook or larger…. and i do not want to spend 20 bucks on A scrapbook! and then i need stickers paper etc. etc! please help! Thanks!
You can get 12×12 albums at Michael’s or Joann’s for under $10. They go on sale often and they also have 40% off coupons on-line or in their sale ads weekly.

Hi Zharia
Scrapbooking is not quite like many other hobbies that have only one method of doing things. Scrapbooking has many, many avenues to explore. So, to tell you "one" place to find "all" you need to know may not exist, but, there is a lot of ideas and inspiration on you tube. If you would like to, I do have a you tube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/raggedydoodles) you can start from as well as a blog, (http://thescrapsofmylifebyjulie.blogspot.com/) ustream classes,(http://www.ustream.tv/user/thescrapsofmylife) as well as twitter updates(http://twitter.com/#!/scrapsofmylife). I will soon be starting classes just for beginners in scrapbooking and papercrafting. Hope to see you around the web soon!
Hope this helps a little.

A few years ago one of my mom friend’s put together a scrapbook for her birthday. She used a company that gave her a complete kit. The kit contains a small bunch of materials for each person you’d like to design a page. You give each person one of the packages of materials and they use their own photos and write in their own messages. This makes each page personal, but at the same time all the pages go together since they come from the same kit. The scrapbook came out so nice, and I’d love to know the name of the company that sells these products. I’m not sure if they’re around anymore, but I’m interested in using them for another friend. Even if they are no longer in business, they had some great ideas that I’d like to take a look at to possibly get some ideas to buy and give everyone the materials on my own. Still, having everything pre-packaged and coordinated in that kit was great.
Thanks for any help
Thanks for both suggestions so far…I’ll definitely check out the links. I’m going to ask my mom’s friend about it as well, but she’s away on vacation for the next week so I was just wondering if anyone here knew. Anyway, thanks again
That kit does sound neat. I can’t find anything but a lot of sites for supplies. You should ask your mother’s friend where she got it or if she remembers the name. Or maybe there is something written on the scrapbook cover if it came with one.
In either case, this ebay seller might have something you’re interested in:

my printer can directly hook up to my camera memory stick and print out the pictures but i dont want to waste ink, considering i have a LOT of pictures to scrapbook. Is there somewhere i can get digital camera pictures printed out for a very cheap price?
also, how much would it cost to start and buy ALL the starting materials to scrapbook. WHat do i need?
it is probably cheaper in the long run to have them printed then having to buy in cartridges for you printer…..
I would think that just about any place that develops pictures can make pictures from you memory stick or a CD….
I would suggest that you use your computer and go through the pictures and pick the ones you want printed….
if you have a Costco membership they are pretty reasonable for prints… I am sure that wal-mart would be pretty low in cost too….
I have all my materials.
Anyone have any websites with like a how-to guide?
It would be much appriciated, thanks!

Do you think it is a waste of materials?
Too comercial?
For people who need to get a life?
Plain stupid?
Pointless?
Expensive?
Phoney?
Persuade me otherwise. Don’t just give me more ammunition!
Interesting. From the way you phrased your question, I’d say you are against it.
I’ve kept a written journal, since I was a 12 year old child. Scrapbooking was a natural second step for me. My journals, and scrapbooks are not at all commercial. I have captured tons of first hand history in my various books.
I also live on a permaculture farm. The photographs I have taken over the years show extremely interesting changes on the farm. The removal of about 20 junk vehicles. The cleaning up of tons of trash, and alcohol bottles by the former owner.
My herd of goats growing from the original three, to currently over 100. How our land looks with over 12,000 native trees planted over the last four years.
It also shows my husband at work, since I use to travel around with him (before we married). He was a helicopter mechanic. Lots of forest fires captured in our scrapbooks, as well as interesting things that were going on in that local area. Do you know when and where the parent tree to all the avocados growing in the U.S.A. died? I do. Stuff like that is captured in my scrapbooks.
When we build our house (ourselves), it will all be captured. The project will probably be interesting enough to warrant a published book.
Scrapbooking by the average soccer Mom…your probably correct. Commercialized, boring, and a phoney way to capture their happy Mc Family, in their happy Mc Suburb, in their happy Mc Mansion.
My scrapbooks are more like a combination of National Geographic, combind with the facination of farming life.

I dont have a huge room and I have many many hobbie, mostly; cake decor, painting, sewing, scrapbooking.
How do I organize all of my hobbies to be the most space efficient.
How about you designate a storage box or boxes for each of your hobbies? Using storage boxes will sure to keep your organized and efficient – you won’t be scrambling around and pulling your hair out looking for a particular item. With a storage box such as this, http://www.memoryscrapbooks.com/bcd1s.html you are able to insert a label on the front face of the box and label each box according to all your hobbies. The site from the link offers 7 different colors, so you can even coordinate your hobbies by colors too.
Here’s their entire selection of storage boxes you can browse through, http://www.memoryscrapbooks.com/boxes.html
Hope this helps!
