Scrappers Talk Radio

Being addicted to scrapbooking is a good thing. ‘Why?’ you might ask. It is because scrapbooking is good for a lot of things. It is a nice way of preserving memories and you can scrapbook anything!

You can scrapbook about your brother’s bachelor party, your niece’s summer wedding, a grandchild’s christening, the prom or even the time you went to the Bahamas. It is also a lot better than just having a photo album.

You can include:

• journals
• invitations
• drawings
• ultrasound
• pictures
• cards

You can decorate the layout by layering the pictures with card stock and stickers.

Using ribbons, stamps, and charms to decorate them are a fun way to add a nice touch. That is what makes them so interesting and fun to look at.

Are you costing yourself too much money on scrapbooking supplies? Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby, not only are you preserving your memories but it’s a great stress reliever.

But, how much are you spending on your hobby?

• What are your plans?
• Goals?

Jumping from project to project can distract you from your main purpose, and that’s to complete your albums.

Setting up and executing a plan to reach your goals is important I mean, actually focus on the task at hand. What steps will it take you to get your end result?
