Tips for the Scrapbooking Rookie
Expert Tips from Scrapbooker Heidi Swapp
Getting started into scrap booking is an amazingly DAUNTING task! This is what I hear all the time:
- I have boxes and boxes of photos, where do I start?
- I am not creative!
- I just don't have time to spend hours completing ONE scrapbook page!
- Walking into a scrap booking store is overwhelming! I don't even know what I am looking for!
- I will just hand my kids their photos, they can scrapbook them!
Whether you are a young student, or a busy mother, a single professional or a grandmother...scrap booking CAN be for YOU! It is many different things to different people! All you have to do is find WHAT you like and have FUN! That is what I hope to share with you here at mysweetconnection.com... how rewarding, fun, creative, exciting and important scrap booking is! Not just for your family... but (get this) for YOU! It is your chance to share YOUR voice... leave your LEGACY and share a glimpse into your heart and soul through scrap booking. We will tour local stores, introduce you to other women who scrapbook, give you great tips... answer your questions and MORE! Maybe we'll even get together and CREATE! Stick around... we're going to have a blast!
Here are a few things for you to think about...
Have you got a camera and do you know how to use it?
Great photos inspire me to scrapbook! Even if you have boxes and boxes of old photos... maybe you need some NEW, FRESH and FUN material to work with!
Have you ever looked through the pages of a scrapbook magazine?
There are several awesome and inspiring magazines out there! You will be amazed at the little tips and techniques they share that make scrap booking quicker, easier, cheaper and yes... EVEN YOU can do it!
Are you up for a little challenge?
Go through a box of old photos... Start thumbing along and when a photo STOPS YOU, and tugs at you... pull it out and set it aside! Pick out 10 photos. They don't have to be in any kind of order. They don't have to be great shots... or significant events. You will feel what I am talking about!
Keep these things out and handy... check back with me next week... and I am going to tell you what you need to get started!
