Scrapbooking

[Guest]

I use ktcrafts. They are a US shop which delivers to the UK and the shipping rates are very reasonable. I think they are doing 25% off at the minute.

i also like mousememories

and scrapyourtrip

but i find it easier if i just have a go myself and not think too much about it as it is what i am happy with that counts and not how everyone else scraps!

i am looking forward to going back in oct to buy some more disney bits!

happy scrapping

I like PaperArts, Artbase and Scrapbookshop (they have a lot of Disney stuff). All shops in the UK.

I like diecutswithaview/ I used there Once upon Time stuff to and some others to Scrapbook our recent DLP trip. Hot off the Press are good too. You can get both of these through QVC, there is also some good stuff on Create and Craft/Ideal World.

As I live in London I get a lot of stuff from The Big Stamping and Scrapbooking show at Alexandra Palace. The Christmas one is on the 27 September. I am mainly a card maker (mainly stamping) but do scrapbooks for special occasions.

As I recall there is a paper craft store in Barrow? think it is The Stamp Store. I think there may be another one.


A little advice if I may. Try and do two page spreads mainly but put in some one page ones. 8 by 8 will only take one full picture per page. Don't try and put too much on the page, with 8 by 8 less is more. Move up to 12 by 12 as soon as you can as they are more versatile. I have some great 8 by 8s, but for big things I use 12 by 12.

That's very personal to each scrapbooker, I tend to do single page layouts unless I have a lot of photos from a specific event in which case I will do a double, but certainly I do more single pagers.

I have the scrapbook, the papers, the embellies - just can't decide which photos to scrap as I have so many good ones

Whilst I agree that each scrapbooker finds there own style (I tend to shy away from florals unless it is the perfect effect for instance) most book and mags reccomend using mainly two page spreads with some single spreads. This gives more flow to album and is less confusing. You can get more info across and your journaling is more in perspective. Of course you need not do any journaling at all plenty of spread give you the info you need without you writing a word. I like two page spreads but as Bev says you develope your own style.
