SCRAPPUCINOS

This maybe is a odd question but I’m sitting here doing some journaling for pages I’ve completed and I find that I journal in the first person and then at the end of the paragraph I’m journeling in the second person? Do you journal like your talking to strangers reading – or for instance if your doing your childs album do you journal like you are talking to them. I’m working on our family album so some are family pictures, some are just of my daughter. Or does it even matter at all??

Personally I don’t think it matters. Perhaps on one layout (page) you should try to be consistant, but over a whole album – I don’t worry.

My journalling varies between talking about ‘we did this…we did that ….’ to ‘You are a beautiful …..’ to addressing the reader. I think I just go with what ever feels right for that particular layout(page).

Remember there are no ‘rules’ in scrapbooking!!

Just a few bits I collected this week:-)

LOL

Is there such a thing?!!

But seriously, do you feel like you are taking to many pictures?

I am so thankful for my digital camera so I don’t have to think about how many I take!

The other day I took a picture of my 10 year old reading! I can’t wait to scrap it and journal what a great reader she is!

Way too many. But what surprised me was right before my son graduated I realized that from about 12 on I only had 4 or 5 pics of him a year. But I have tons of albums & large plastic boxes of pics still waiting from before then. He jokes I lost interest once he quit being so cutesy. lol!

I recently rec’d a dozen stamps from my aunt who has moved on to something different. I have never incorporated stamping in my scrapbooking. Looking for any tips/techniques. Thanks!

I have used them to create a background on solid color cardstock.
For scrapbooking I like to emboss the image, it seems to show up better.
Try you public library. Mine has several books on stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafts. don’t forget to check the magazine section. You should be able to check out old issues

This video is for beginner scrapbookers and it explains basic hand-stiching. Sewing is a very easy and inexpensive way to embellish your scrapbooking layouts.
