A few years ago, my aunt took me to a “scrapbooking party”. It’s very similar to a tupperware party only instead of buying plastic containers the party-goers buy colorful paper, stickers, and albums. I was a little unsure about the event but went to spend time with my family. During my time at the party I only made two pages of a book but ended up leaving with a scrapbooker’s starter kit complete with paper protectors, a tape-runner, special felt-tip pens, die-cuts, and a paper cutter. After only a few hours, I was completely hooked and armed with enough supplies to organize all of my “Kodak moments”.
Several years have passed since my first scrapbooking experience but I am still an avid scrapbooker. I have scrapbooks of my family, my high school days, and various vacations. Each book takes many hours to make but in the end it is a great piece of art. Scrapbooking is a great release. It’s a time to sit back and go through your pictures and reminisce about all of the memories. Designing each page can get your creative juices going and is an escape from every day life.Over the next few months, I will be making posts to this blog on various scrapbooking topics. If you have never scrapbooked before, you will be able to learn about how to get started. If you are an ardent scrabooking like me, I hope to teach you something new. I would also love to hear feedback if you have some tips for me!
Until then...happy scrapbooking!
