Scrapbook Having Fun

Now in this post Nannyone will be explaining that having fun, is a great part of Scrapbook enjoyment. In any hobby liking what you do, makes all the difference, that is ; being creative, sharing topics with friends and others.
To get the best results from anything you do, depends on how much effort you put into in the first place. With this I mean, sharing your stories with others on the Web in blogs, in social media sites, going to workshops, finding websites that have information about your particular hobby.
There are also Scrapbook Getaways- where you all go away for a weekend together and scrap. The ones I have been to are awesome. You can even scrap in your PJ's if you want. There are games you play, prizes to win, all in all just having fun.
So Scrappers get to work, pasting, painting, stamping, Journaling, etc. At the same time make it a fun project and get together with others swapping ideas and having a party.
I just wanted to leave you with a little something to remember Scrapbooking is all about making memories with your photo's and Having Fun.




Nannyone signing off until we meet in next post.

Page Content






Hi Everyone, NannyOne says it is time to start working the pages. With this I mean adding content to each page, of your scrapbook. You should already have your photo's on the page, and now wondering what else you need to smarten the page up.

Remembering that your photo should still be the main focus on the page. Having to think of other items to add to your page, well I have a few ideas that may help you, and these consists of

Embellishments-- brads, flowers, clips, pins, beads
Ribbon, stickers, chipboard, letters, paint,
You can even use stamping on your page, have a tear paper effect using a contrast colour from the background. You can use foam dots to lift your photo off the page, or use he foam dots to raise other items off the page.All this is page content, just adding special effects to your photo.
Further more NannyOne has been busy with her blogs, establishing an area for people just like me, to find a site that helps them to scrapbook their photo's, and follow simple instructions along the way. This can be from simple beginnings to digital scrapbook. As I progress with the blog, I will touch on the area of digital scrapbook.
Well I think that I will pop a little item that I have made for you to browse.
