Scrapbooking BasicsBasic Tips for Beginning to Scrapbook

Well Grace, people want to get started scrapbooking.
They want to have fun with it, but they start to get a little overwhelmed. They don't know
where to begin. There's so much out there. "What am I going to do?" My biggest tip for
you is it's not called perfect booking.

It's called scrapbooking for a reason. We're not
meant to obsess with this. We're not meant to have a nervous breakdown over our memories.
It's just something that you have fun with. You do what you want to do.

These are your
memories. They're not my memories. These are your memories. You do what you want to do.
You pick the papers that you think look right; you choose your embellishments; you tell your
story.

And, remember, mistakes are only opportunities to be creative. Absolutely! And that's how
we learn; from our mistakes. Exactly! That's how we do it. And we should have fun with
the mistakes.

Absolutely! That's great. So here is a perfect example of having fun. Look
at this, having fun. This is a fun page.

I. Love it. These are from one of our many trips
to Disneyland. We used to do this as a family.

I just got some really fun pictures here with
my sister and my mom on the Autotopia here. Remember, we got our title here. We've got
our journaling. We have our captioning.

This one is the famous hot dog shot, with my sister
eating a hot dog but not the bun. It's just the family history right here. That's great.
Well, thank you so much for being on the show. You're welcome.

Scrapbook Ideas & TipsHow to Organize Scrapbook Supplies

I'm getting ready to start this project but
there's just no room on my desk. Have you ever had this problem, no place to work? We'll
let me help you organize your scrap booking supplies. I'm Janet Casto your independent
demonstrator with Stampin' Up and let me show you a few tricks that work for me. First thing
I like to do is have a clean work space and I like to have my grid paper down in front
of me so I can use that to make sure all my cards, and everything are aligned correctly.
I like to have my scissors and I usually keep my punches in a big bin next to me in my office.
I like to have my pens and different scissors, and markers right available at my finger tips.
I like to have my cutter score at the ready and ready to roll, and cut my paper and score
whatever I need.

What I usually do at home also is to my right I'll; my right your left,
I'll have all of my stamps and things organized by category, by words, by season, by holiday,
however I like. And as I'm cutting and scoring my paper, my scraps, I throw into bins that
are labeled. All of my paper of course is categorized by the colors, this makes it easy
to find and work on a project. The other thing I like to do is have everything at reach.
I have my waste can right at my right side, I have all of my tools on a rolling tool thing
in front of me and it just makes for a pleasant working conditions.

I'm Janet Casto your independent
demonstrator with Stampin' Up. Organizing your tools and your scrap booking supplies
can make your project that much more fun to make. I hope you take the time to get organized
and really go to town on your projects..
