any scrapbookers out there?

[katzguk]

have just seen the cardmaking thread which made me think are they any fellow scrapbookers out there?

I'm not but was wondering where you can get scrapbooks from as DH would like one. He plans to put recipes in it I think.

lots of places
i buy mainly on line but i think staples and lakeland do do them

can give you more info if you want.

katzguk, I have been wanting to get into this. How did you start?

My sister, who lives in the States, tells me that scrapbooking is a massive hobby over there. Social too, with groups gathering once a month or so over drinks and nibbles. What sort of things do you put in a scrapbook katzguk?

i was a card marker who got fed up of giving away all her hard work!!!

at the moment i'm just scrapbooking DD baby photos and added extra bits.

i bought a starter kit from qvc i think and its grown from there

azure you best bet is to get your sister to send you stuff i buy lots of stuff from the states because it is so much cheaper even with p n p

I have a scrapbook in which I have collages made up with images from magazines. When I look back to pages I made over 10 years ago it really shows the change of fashion, celebs and what was important to me at the time.

I also have memory boxes, one for me and one for ds twins, where I put things, such as their birthday cards, first pictures drawn, first proper shoes etc. What can I say, I am a packrat, I throw nothing away!

I have one memory box for each year od dd's life - actually use her shoeboxes. I put in programmes from events she went to; plane, train and ferry tickets; birthday invites and all manner of other things that are relevant to that year.
