Scrapbooking is a wonderful
addiction! We get to listen
to music, spend time with
good friends, and enjoy our
family memories together.
Being addicted to scrapbooking
is a good thing. 'Why?' you
might ask. It is because scrapbooking
is good for a lot of things.
It is a nice way of preserving
memories and you can scrapbook
anything!
You can scrapbook about your
brother's bachelor party,
your niece's summer wedding,
a grandchild's christening,
the prom or even the time
you went to the Bahamas.
It is also a lot better than
just having a photo album.
You, like me, might find that
photo albums are a bit boring.
That is, once you have seen
a nice scrapbook.
What is great about scrapbooking
is that it is not just for
pictures.
You can include journals,
invitations, drawings, ultrasound
pictures and cards.
You can decorate the layout
by layering the pictures with
card stock and stickers.
Using ribbons, stamps, and
charms to decorate them are
a fun way to add a nice touch.
That is what makes them so
interesting and fun to look
at.
I find that scrapbooking is
a great way to pass some time.
If you enjoy scrapbooking
as much as I do, you know
how easy it is to lose track
of the time.
When you scrapbook, you have
personal time for yourself.
Scrapbooking is great because
at times you will pass by
a photo that will put a smile
on your face after a hard
day.
When you scrapbook, you get
to reminisce.
Scrapbooking is a calming
addiction.
Although it might be a little
frustrating at times because
not a single idea will not
come to mind, it is still
a nice way of relieving stress.
You might know that even if
at times you have no ideas
at all, you will have a time
where you will have so many
great ideas in mind.
When you have those "idea
overloads" write them down.
I find that a great way of
keeping track of ideas until
you actually do have pictures
for them.
After all, being addicted
to scrapbooking is a great
way of putting all of those
4x6's, 5x3.5, 8x11's that
you keep in those boxes that
are hidden in your closet
to great use.
So let's get your creative
juices flowing and feed your
scrapbook addiction!
