Hey,

I have noticed this is a hobby of alot of women, particularly from the USA. It is not a common thing here in Australia.

So I was just wondering what sort of things you put in your scrapbook, and how? And do any of you have photos of your pages that you care to share?

Its sounds like fun and I like being creative - so how and where should I start?!! :P

(sorry if there is a thread - search still down)

I love scrapbooking!

I start with a theme: senior year of high school, wedding, a trip...whatever.
Next I collect everything I have that goes with the theme: Pictures are the most important!, but I also collect ticket stubs (from plays, movies, concerts, trains, museums), invitations (to parties, events), bags or wrappings (from stores where I purchased souvenirs, local candies, etc).
Anyway, you get the idea, just be a pack rat if there's something you're going to want to scrapbook.

Then when I go to put it all together, I pick out a book from a craft store and get a lot of scrapbook paper in different patterns and colors. I plan out a way to organize it first (usu. chronologically, or by class in the case of high school) then I take it one page at a time!

There are lots of great idea books and websites out there, have fun!

I've been scrapbooking for about 4-5 years and I love it! I usually decide on a theme (right now I'm finishing one of my dogs and I'm starting one for my bf for 2008). I have a Cricut and a Cuttlebug so I use those alot. I also make cards with them. It's time consuming, but alot of fun!
