What I have & love

When I showed some interest in scrapbooking, I was home very pregnant and watching HSN and they had a 'scrapbooking' special on. I logged onto their website and ordered a few things, a beautiful Amanda Blu album, a paper kit and some embellies. Just a few things to start an album for my new baby. At that point, I didn't even know you could buy this stuff in stores!

I started with a small supply of goodies but now I have soo much supply that my house is too small for it! LOL.

I do not have a dedicated room for scrapping, but I sure wish I did. I am soo envious of other women who have a craft room with closets and all the shelving their hearts desire. I scrap on my dinning room table.

All my supply is hidden throughout the house but organized fairly well, as well as I could do it. I have more than I probably need but I am such an addict at this point, that going into a craft store is very dangerous because I will leave there with a few hundred dollars worth of supply that I don't need because I have quadrople of that at home already :)

Some of the scrapping items/tools that I have, love and use most often are:

- Provocraft Silent Eyelet Setter
- Provocraft Cricut (I have a quite a few cartridges)
- Fiskars Circle Cutter
- Paper trimmer
- Punches
- ColorBox Cat's Eye Ink/Chalk
- Glue Dots
- Chipboard
- Paper Edgers
- stickers
- rub-ons
- flourishes

.... the list can go on forever!

The Beginning....

I want to share my very first layouts. The layouts that I created were basic - nothing excited. A few pictures, some stickers, that's it. Yes I know pretty boring.

As you will notice from these layouts and more to come that they all pertain to my son, my life. All the layouts are keepsakes for him.

I have tons more to share but don't want to bore you all at once :)

Welcome

I have decided to start blogging about my addiction to scrapbooking! May not be exciting to some but can be exciting to many. :)


I started scrapping just over a year ago before my son turned 2 years old. The intention to start scrapping was before my son was born, when I was pregnant. I bought tons of supply and an album for my baby but shoved it under my bed and never got into it until last year when a friend 're-introduced' me to it.

I have done quite a few layouts which I plan to show you, my first ones are quite obvious and then you can see the imporvements from layout to layout. I am not the best - far from it, but I am pretty proud of myself.

More to follow....
