I would love to join in with the scrapbooking! I would like to have a go but haven't got a clue where to start! I have bought a scrapbook just need to decide what to put in it! do you all buy the papers/embelshments then decide what photos to put in or the other way round?

I'd love to start scrapbooking - any excuse to buy some more papers - I thought it was just me that didn't want to use any of her best bits .

I have loads of the blonde moments papers and its a running joke with my friends that I never use them - they also reckon you only get an insert in your card if you're really special :rotfl:.

I'm off to the Range today to stock up

I have a seriously scary amount of craft stuff but never seem to have enough time to sit on backside & craft. I used to make cards to sell but now only make them as & when I need to.
I've made 3 small scrapbooks, one for each child, last summer and would like to do more.
I have all the stuff, all the papers, embellishments etc......just a matter of getting enough Me time!! So maybe with encouragement from here might actually get started!!

If you are like me you just buy craft stuff, hide it in box from your H ..
Then buy more craft stuff, hide from H :rotfl:

I think,this might be seriously wrong but... You look through photos and say you have a great one of a trip to say the zoo. You pick your papers and embellishments in line with the picture ? Well thats what i think i am going to do anyway :rotfl:

Where i have bought papers etc already i am going to try to take photos that fit with the theme. So i have 'easter ones' So i will try to take some themed Easter photos. Or Seaside ones and then find a relevant photograph.

But at the moment i am still at the buy papers etc then hide from H stage :rotfl:

I can't help it but whenever you post recently it's like you're saying what I'd say and I have been cracking up!!!:rotfl:

We definitely need a virtual crop to get us all using up all these goodies!! Today I've been filling my baskets on madaboutcards and bellaboo and also have a full one on craft superstore but I have so far managed not to go through the checkout (keep thinking I should wait til I'm in the states!!)

Any craft companies on any of the cashback sites??? (See I'm trying to help us be money neutral )

This is the part on UKS I like to visit to see the shop discounts:

If you don't know where to start.. Just visit a shop and your virtual basket will soon fill up I usually print off a picture and then pull out some stash based on that photograph (colours etc) but sometimes I may see a sticker and want to do a whole layout based on it.

There are no hard rules.. just get creative and messy!!

As for the cybercrop.. What about if I start a new team on UKS and then we can chat in our team and share our pics in the gallery.

I will also donate a prize. I was going to run some classes if people would be up for that? Obviously we are all at different levels in our crafting but I thought you might like to take come classes to get you started?

If this is ok I will work on my classes and then post a supplies list.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this site before?
Craft Creations
There's 48 back editions of magazines that you can access online - each one has loads of projects that you can use (mostly for card making, I think). All free to access, and they state that they don't mind if you sell your creations

That is very cool Jailhousebabe thanks a lot
