Welcome to SCRAPBOOKING 101

We are so excited to be able to give you a place where you can retreat too, when trying to understand the Scrapbooking World becomes to overwhelming. That memory is still very fresh on my mind so don’t worry because we are here with you. So, Let’s get acquainted!!!

{Basic Tool Kit} 12x12 Paper Trimmer (provides a clean cut to your cardstock, pattern, stickers or anything else you many want to crop.) Adhesive Tabs are strong, they adhere just about anything down securely. Black Archival Pen (for journaling, it does not fade, so you can be sure your story will be there for generations to come.) Precision Scissors are not your ordinary scissors, they are compact and very sharp. Great for piercing paper, or cutting out a very intricate flower shape.

{Basic Layout Supplies} (2-3) Solid Colored Cardstock (2) Pattern Papers Ribbon Metal Brads Word/expression Rub-ons (As shown: American Craft 6th Avenue Collection, Bazzill Basic Cardstock, Daja Views Rub-Ons, Natural Twill & Green Ric-Rac ribbon, metal brads.)

Ok, so now that we have a visual of the Basics*. Let’s {CreateSomething} together!!

I have a sketch that will help you get your “mojo” going. What is “mojo” you ask, well. that is what we call getting your creative juices flowing and you begin to get momentum. So what I want you to do is re-CREATE my sketch and then make the second page to complete and compliment your layout. Using the Basic supplies guidelines listed above will help you get started.

Option 1 is a very universal layout and can fit any theme

Option 2 has additional accents, a flower, buttons, and additional ribbon.

Here is my take on the sketch!!

Have FUN with it!!! Our Gallery has a Sketches category… there you will find additional sketches and recreations of those sketches to get your “mojo” aka creative flow going. Now don’t forget to UPLOAD your creation, we love to take look not to mention its good to know that our sketches, were helpful. So don’t forget to upload your Layout or Single layout in our gallery!


What’s that Lingo?!

“Mojo” – this is what we call getting your creative juices flowing.
