One scrapbook idea that means a lot
|
Hi friend, One of the things I’ve always loved about scrapbooking is that it doesn’t just create something pretty… …it creates something meaningful. A scrapbook can capture memories in a way that photos on a phone just can’t. And one of my favorite ways to use scrapbooking is actually as a gift. For birthdays. For grandparents. For graduations. For milestone moments. A scrapbook gift is one of those things people tend to keep forever. That’s why I recorded a short class called Giving Scrapbooks as Gifts. In the class I walk through things like: • how to choose the right photos and memories • simple ways to design pages that feel special • ideas for turning everyday moments into meaningful gifts It’s a really fun way to use your creativity to bless someone you care about. Right now the class is on sale for $6 (normally $15). If you enjoy scrapbooking but sometimes wonder what to do with the albums you create, this is a really special way to share your work with others. Scrappy love, P.S. The Use Your Stash class is also still on sale this weekend if you want a creative reset for using the supplies you already have. |

Hey Reader, Have you ever heard people refer to May as "MAYCEMBER" because there's just as much going on in MAY as there is in DECEMBER? I'm not going to lie, I feel that! With all of the "end of the school year" stuff happening, at the same time as summer planning... it's a lot! But I'm trying to find time to craft and scrapbook... as well as finish up bulletin boards and paint things for the PTO and end of the year "festival" at the school! I hope you've been finding time to get creative...
Hey Reader, I hate to open a newsletter talking about the weather, but holy cow, we've had the weirdest spring weather lately here in Ohio -- hot to cold, back to hot, back to cold... my sinuses and my plants have no idea what to do! But aching sinuses aside, I wanted to drop in your inbox and share some updates today... and you might notice a new format I'm trying out, inspired by some of the magazines I've been flipping through as I'm cleaning them out of my craft room... (The great spring...
