Scrapbook Beginner Seeks Catalogs By Mail …?
I am dying to try my hand at scrapbooking. I have endless mounds of supplies to get started with yet when I sit down ready to do it, I come up blank. I buy magazines with oodles of nifty how-to’s and product ideas yet I can’t seem to find actual tangible catalogs that come through the mail where I can find and even purchase products. I don’t want to download catalogs on my computer; I want to be able to actual mark in the catalog, make notes, and “see” what I am ordering without fear of being booted off the internet at any given moment!
I am in need of sites that will actually send me catalogs through the good old post and if anyone has any suggestions, ideas, or tips on how to get started on scrapbooking, I would be forever grateful if they would send them my way. I don’t know the lingo, what all the products do, what I need, the list goes on and on.
I fall in love with all the beautiful pages I see in the magazines and want to start building my own. Can anyone help me?!
The best place to start is at a crafts store – all of them have scrapbook classes that are inexpensive. They always have a variety of classes such as: beginner scrapbooking, how to use vellum, adhesives, etc. These classes are invaluable. You will get to talk to other scrappers and ask them questions, also you can look at the projects they are working on to see how they were put together. Do you have a Michaels or Hobby Lobby near you? Do not hestitate – go now. Archiver’s, by the way, has free beginner classes. Next, go to a crop. Most stores have them. You get together with other scrappers and scrap. I have learned so much by watching other scrappers at crops by watching them use their supplies and tools. You can also learn from catalouges. Here is a list:
scrapbooks.com, forever-scrapbooks.com, calliandco.com, timestocherish.com, paperwishes.com, orientaltrading.com, creativexpress.com. You can request a free catalog from these sites. These magazine sites have lots of how-to’s, and loads of info: creatingkeepsakes.com, memorymakersmagazine.com. Another idea? – watch QVC and HSN when they are having scrapbooking day. As the hosts are demonstrating products you can learn all of the scrapping lingo, and also get to see how tools work. Hope this helps…
Despite what Thirt says, you CAN NOT use construction paper nor folders in a scrapbook – they are not acid free. Construction paper is especially harmful – it is very low quality paper and will destroy your photos. The photos will turn yellow and begin to crack within 2 years!
