Childs Play

She has learned numbers and works on her ABC's while making scrapbook pages with the self stick stickers, she is only 5 years old but is becoming a good little scrapbooker.

Scrapbooking Block? Beat It With These Scrapbooking Layout Ideas

Author: Gary Deavers

Everybody gets a block from time to time. Whether it is a writer or scrapbooker you get blocked. The secret is to find a way to beat that block. What will you do when you get new ideas from what you are about to read. Lets listen to Jan's story...

Jan was a very good scrapbooker. People told her all the time how much they loved her scrapbooks and the new ideas that she came up with. But this time, she was just staring at a blank page without a new idea coming into her mind. She knew that this happened to other people, but never to her. She did not know what to do.

Jan scoured the internet looking for new ideas, but still no new ideas came to mind. She really wanted a new idea, just not a repeat of something from before. Jan was suffering from scrapbooker's block.

Jan's block was really bothering her. She thought about it all the time. Now she was focusing on the block instead of the task at hand. She was no longer thinking of scrap booking, but of the block. She was so focused on it that she was preoccupied with it all the time.

Then a friend of her's suggested that she look at a new book she had run across. Within a few hours Jan was back on track. Her latest scrapbook project was a great success.

Sometimes we all need a little help in getting over the hurdles in life. Jan found it. You can find it too.

Scrapbooks Is A Modern Art

Scrapbooks are a popular and safe way to save your photos that mean so much to you. There are different ways to scrapbook useing albums or digital scrapbooks online, any way you choose to do it will save your photos for future generations.

Welcome to Scrapbooking Fun.

There are hundreds of ways to scrapbook your photo's these days but some ways seem to loose the feeling of accomplishment.My favorite is using beautiful acid free paper with written jounaling telling the story of the page to your viewer which are priceless to future generations.
There are just as many ways to decorate your pages by stamping or using ribbons to name a few.
We know how much fun scrapbooking is for the entire family to create page after page of photo memories.
Scrapbooking is an inexpensive craft using paper, scissors, glue and markers but can become expensive when using some of the newer things on the market. I buy my stamps, albums and large items with coupons or while they are on sale. Saving money on supplies is important in my budget as well as yours.
