I've wanted to "learn" how to scrapbook for a while now. Years I'd say. I subscribed to a couple of scrapbooking blogs, but quickly removed them from my feed when I was inundated with posts. Luck of the draw I guess.
I also subscribed to a series of 24(?) scrapbooking lesson emails. I've received 9 so far and haven't read a single one.
I've made progress though...I picked out pictures from our vacation in Florida and even saved them on a flash drive so they can be printed. Let me tell you...that's a huge step. I haven't had pictures printed out since my trip to Belize...at least five years ago.
I even pulled out a scrapbooking kit I purchased years ago. And much to my surprise & excitement, I have also apparently acquired several more scrapbooking supplies--enough that I feel I have the resources I need to create an acceptable first scrapbook.
So I say to my husband, "You need to ask *a certain coworker* if she belongs to any scrapbooking groups." And his reply is: Why would we ask her? It's not like someone can teach you how to scrapbook.
What?! Which led me to this epiphany: with everything I do, there are steps. There are certain things that precede other things and a certain way things are done. Scrapbooking is no different in my eyes. And I need to learn those steps before I can conquer that which is scrapbooking. My husband politely & kindly informed me I'm crazy.
So maybe I can muster up enough creativity to make a scrapbook. Wish me luck!
Good luck!! :) ~meredith
ReplyDeleteThat's what I do. I actually went to a Scrapbooking session once at a local art/cloth store and let me tell you...if you start scrapbooking the "proper" way it will cost you tons of money. It's like one pic per page with all these stickers, etc. I have a huge book for Grace and use up most of the page with pics and some creativity. It makes it so much more fun then something that is so regimented. (my two cents)
