Wedding and Honeymoon Favorites

Even though I have a wedding album and a handmade honeymoon album, I still wanted something I can frame and put on my wall.  When I saw this sketch I thought this would make a perfect 12 x 24 framed layout.  Often what we do as scrapbookers is not on display in the traditional sense so I seized this opportunity to display a few of my favorite shots from our wedding and our honeymoon.

3 Scrapbook Supplies I Never Buy at Full Price

3 Scrapbook Supplies I Never Buy at Full Price

Earlier in my scrapbooking career, I would see gorgeous new paper lines and lose my mind purchasing 2-3 sheets of each  sheet within a line if the paper was double-sided. If there were tags, quotes or sayings on one side I definitely had to get multiples so that I had “enough” to use the tags, journal cards, etc. and still be able to use the pattern on the back. As you can imagine this was quite expensive.

Fast forward to today. I have a lot of “retired” paper lines, untouched. I have more flowers and embellishments than a small craft store.  Between your scrapbook stash and those of your closest friends and scrapbook pals, could you open a small craft store? 🙂  Now there are 3 scrapbook supplies I never buy at full price.

Your Favorite Scrapbook Expert is Coming and Their Class Costs What

So you were just notified that your favorite scrapbook expert is coming and their class costs what??  Have you noticed that the cost to attend workshops taught by some industry leaders is ever increasing.  I have never been one to be star struck or awestruck over anyone, however there are certain scrapbook experts that have techniques and styles I enjoy.   The inclination to register for the class would have to be within reason regardless. I know the “within reason” is different for everyone.

Whatever the cost for the workshop or class, there are some things to consider.  Like, what is the class really worth? I have to ask myself, am I paying $$ or $$$ because of the expert teaching the class or does the project really interest me?

Top reasons for signing up for a class:

New Flip and Fold Scrapbook Mini

Posted on by Lacy

Not exactly a brand new flip and fold scrapbook mini from a design standpoint, but new in the sense that I made another one with a completely different color scheme/paper line. Many of the inserts and pages are decorated differently as well. I used different edge punches to give this one a new look.

This is the same mini album that was featured in Scor-Pal’s July 2017 Newsletter.

To see the tutorial and another take on this design, please see the original post here.
