SCRAPBOOKING WHAT IS IT?

[hifi]

just stumbled upon it on amazon, says its a phenomenon, is it just putting things in an album? sounds alot more, anyone can enlighten me incase i have to buy the dummies guide.

have a look here:

UK Scrappers

oh my goodness don't get me started!!! its ammaaaaaaazing!! if you want to email me i can email back some examples of pages and give you loads of tips and ideas and webistes to look at if you're interested (obv i really really am!) im molliemormon at hotmail.com
an amazing book i borrowed from my local library is a perfect guide for anyone - even complete beginners its written by sarah beaman. its called "the complete guide to scrapbooking" and it goes over everything you need to make wonderful scrapbooks. big or small, in an album or brown paper bags! (thats not even a joke, i'v made a brown paper bag scrap book!)

anyway, email any time. i would always be glad to chat! Rachel.x

Was it Cod that called it 'just cutting & sticking'??

LOL...and as you can tell, it's quite addictive!

oh my oh. maybe we shouldn't get you started or you too will spiral down into a pit of shiny bits, pretty paper, ribbons, buttons........

oh yeah, and now i take pictures of EVERYTHING in preparation for later putting it in a scrap book!

"just cutting and sticking" i'm almost offended!! haha

I love it! Go to a group twice a month and a whole Sunday once a month. I have spent a fortune, all my DDs have their own, they sometimes help me and make their own pages. America seems to be the cheapest place to shop!

Ruthmollymummy do you mind f Im email you? Im trying to put together my daughters 1st xmas ino a scrapbook and am feeling a bit blank as to what to do!! Some ideas would be great

email away mumbear anytime! xx

thanks evryone you are all so enthusiastic about it, will look up the book.

It's pretty much a fancy photo album with pretty paper & decorations etc

I've got a lovely A-Z of 2006, one page and one photo for each letter of the alphabet (can embark on 2007 now!) and a Birthday Book which has one photo taken on each of the SmallDragons' birthdays. All fairly minimalist as I don't like all the sugary sentiment stuff

Ive emailed you ruthmollymummy!!! Sorry it took all weekend! Hope you get it

Its very addictive

I have dabbled with scrapbooking in the past, I loved it but seldom have time these days to drag out all my craft things to have a go.

I have just started digital scrapbooking and it is almost as much fun. Here is my first simple and bright digital layout.
I'm trying to get to grips with photoshop and some free stuff I downloaded from scrapgirls and I have done my first basic and very bright layout.
