scrapbooking

Does anyone in here do any scrapbooking? Want to do a show and tell or no?

I am supposed to say yes because if you saw how much crap I have, you'd think I did it for a living, but I have never created a whole book.

I just recently bought a cricut, which I think will help motivate me to do more, plus I have some specific projects in mind. I have been making a lot of cards with the cricut, which I can show. I do have a few pages made that I made right after my son was born (6 years ago!!!), but they are kind of boring, except for the text which still amuses me. I crack myself up, which either makes me insane or entertaining. I'll let you decide.

I love show and tells though and I'd love to see what other people have made because it gives me ideas. I am in the JM scrapbooking forum too, but I don't really know anyone in there and I don't dedicate as much time as they do, so I feel like a poser most of the time.

I scrapbook although I haven't done anything in awhile. My sister want to "borrow" my stuff. I am like um no I have $$$$$ in my supplies and I will never see it again if she "borrows" it. I wouldn't mind sharing just know its been awhile since I did anything.

I am a poser scrapbooker too! I have 2 books half done if that counts! I am not good at it but I love to have fun with it.

I will take some pictures over the next few days to share.

Joanne Fabrics has a 40% off sale on scrapbooking stuff. I am going to go see if they have any cute wedding stickers on sale!

I don't scrapbook because I'd go nuts! There's so much to choose from and I would wind up buying tons of stuff and not scrapping very often. I enjoy buying the stickers and stuff for DS's school projects.

I'd love to see what some of you have created.

I have all the stuff to do it but I have not started yet. I plan on starting this month.

I wish I did. Our adoption profile has to be a mini scrapbook and I have NO idea where to start! I would love to look at what ya'll have done though

This pretty much describes me. I cannot not obsess and buy everything, but it's already too late.

For example...

This is my craft room:

This is the "junk":

The 3x3 cubbyhole things are fabric, which isn't that much, but to the right of that is a 4 foot stack of paper. also the drawers all the way on the right are full of paper. Who needs this much paper? No one! I can't stop though. I went to the store Sunday and bought 9 more 12"x12" stacks of paper, so this picture isn't even current. It's very sad.

I think I have just felt true jealousy!

StaceygirlPa · #12 February 17th, 2011, 03:07 AM

Courtney, I love your craft room.

I wish I had something like that. I love to do scrapbooking. Since I have no room to do anything right now its kind of hard. When my mom passed away last year for her memoral service I made two poster boards of pictures. One was with family and one was just pictures of me and her. Then I added little cut outs using my cricut.

missy123 · #13 February 17th, 2011, 02:48 PM

I am still drooling over your craft room....

Shadeauxe · #14 February 17th, 2011, 03:30 PM

Thanks, Missy & Stacey!

It used to be a bedroom for my two cousins, when they moved out finally, I quickly reclaimed it so that they couldn't move back

. That giant desk used to be in our dining room and was also being used by them (cousins) for homework and stuff like that. Prior to that, I worked at home and I got tired of our desks not matching ( me, husband, mom) and them breaking all the time, so I designed that one. It's 12'x13' and I can't even tell you how much of a pain it was to get it up to that room.

Anyway, it's nice to have room to breathe again in our house and space to work. Some of that stuff is my mothers. She's a sewer. (as in one who sews, not a place where the poop goes haha)

missy123 · #15 February 18th, 2011, 06:16 AM

I am going to sneak over to your house and grab me some supplies

StaceygirlPa · #16 February 18th, 2011, 07:37 AM

Missy, tell me when you are going and I will go with you. Although I will need to fine room for the supplies then.

missy123 · #17 February 18th, 2011, 07:58 AM

I will pick you up on my way!.....

Courtney - You have inspired me to put my craft stuff under my desk now and so I will have room in my closet to put the suitcases that have been in my hallway driving me crazy!

Sweet!

I don't have the money for it, but is this a good deal?

a cricut for $84?

I suspect that is the personal one which only cuts 12x6. You would like it at first and then want the 12x12 Expression or the imagine (which prints with ink too, but very expensive). I think it can normally be found for $99 even though they say the list price is $199. I love that machine though. Be warned, it can turn into an obsession. I bought mine Thanksgiving weekend and by New Years, I had almost 100 cartridges and the cricut cake.
