Scrapbooking thread

Saucy - we are all in love with basic grey stuff at the minute - this thread and everyone on the card making thread! It is such good quality and so easy to work with. I just got my bind-it-all machine on Sunday, but I haven't had time to play with it - I'll let you know how I get on. I got mine for about 33 quid which was the cheapest I'd seen. You can buy special bind-it-all covers to go with it but they are really expensive, it works out so much cheaper to just buy chipboard covers.
We didn't go bowling in the end! OH was too tired and Leo wanted to play on his new wii games. I think we're going at the weekend instead, we had a good night anyway - watched the Liverpool game and ate takeaway pizza.

Great :T, does that mean the Archaic papers I bought from there this week don't count either. Maybe we could have a rule - if it's from the Glitter Pot it doesn't count... :rotfl:

xkymx - that mini book looks fab - a really good price. I find it much easier working on these size pages rather that on a 12x12 layout I need to practice those. I am bad I just tend to buy papers that I like the look of and then worry about using them later!! I suppose you could look at the themes of the pictures and then look at what you need i.e do you need ones suitable for kids pics, or masculine papers for men photos, or bright ones for days out.
Rainmac - no those don't count!!! When I'm bad I spend 30 quid in an order like my 2 do crafts orders, so when I spend a tenner that's me being on my best behaviour.

I would pick the photos first and then the papers so you can tie in colours/ themes etc. I've got that Papermania album too but not done anything with it yet. Looking forward to hearing what you do with yours

thanks for your help (will be needing more soon if you dont mind ) xx

melissa75_2

xkymx - it can be quite daunting when you first start - there are so many gorgeous things to buy and you don't know what you need. Just ask if you need any help!!
