Many Benefits to Scrapbooking

by Carole DeJarnatt

The scrapbooking hobby has been around for a long time and people do it for a variety of reasons. If you are an outsider to the world of scrapbooking, then you will not understand until you experience the craft the many reasons a person invests so much time and energy into a scrapbook page.

When I was first introduced to scrapbooking via my church family, I told them I had neither time nor energy to invest in creating pages of photos matched up with paper and cute little embellishments. I thought those people were crazy staying up all hours of the evening, dragging around tons of supplies, just to sit and create scrapbook pages. One evening I was invited to a scrapbook night and I agreed to come with the intent of visiting and watching. No scrapbooking for me. I was a business professional who could not imagine investing time or energy into something I felt was for stay-at-home moms or those who had nothing better to do.

Little did I know I was about to change my mind and attitude…during the evening of socializing and viewing all the pages of creation, something changed in me. One person in particular needed help with color coordinating and matting her photos. I started working with her and ended up finishing her page for her. The scrapbooking bug bit me and it bit hard! The very next day I was out buying all the essential tools to create my very own pages of photos.

What is it about scrapbooking that captures so many people's devotion and attention?

1. Focus--You lose your focus on everything except for the scrapbook page you are working on. You forget the world exist for a few moments and you focus on nothing but what is in front of you.
2. Creativity--All it takes is a sheet of paper and a few ideas to get your creative juices going. Whether the ideas are from a magazine, your surroundings, or the scrapbook paper held in your hand; the end result is pure enjoyment.
3. History--When I think of a scrapbook, to me it is the history of the day, moment, or event. The page was created for future generations to learn of their family.
4. Expressing myself--The scrapbook is made by someone and that in itself is a source of pride and joy. The feeling you get from completing, giving, or sharing your scrapbooks is indescribable.
5. Giving--When working on a scrapbook layout, you are giving your thoughts, feelings, and memories to an event to share with others. The joy you feel when others express pleasure and enjoyment from your work is worth all the time and energy.

Scrapbooking has become so sophisticated you do not even need to leave the comfort of your home to get started. If you are experienced with computer programs such as Photoshop Elements, your tools are at the tips of your hands. If you prefer traditional scrapbooking, you still have the ability to order supplies and tools at the comfort of your home and within days you will be completing your own scrapbook.

People today have a variety of reasons for making their own scrapbooks and/or creating creations of beauty with their supplies. The majority of my experience has been to create something to share with future generations. People want to be remembered and through a scrapbook their lives are shared.

I have a Mini Scrapbook Class coming up. You can Take the class or get a CLASS on the GO. Check out my Kits & Products Shares page in the Navigation Bar. Reserve your spot or kit TODAY.

What makes it STICK? and What is the difference? Do you know?

How much do you know about Stampin'Up! adhesives? I would like to review 6 of them in this post. Sometimes I think it can be confusing to know which to use and exactly what they do.

 

SNAIL Adhesive:
■ Simple, Neat, Affordable, In-Line
■ 472” of double-sided adhesive
■ Great for cards, scrapbooks, or other art projects
■ Keeps fingers and art pieces free from messy glue
■ Refill cartridges sold separately
■ Permanent; creates a strong bond
SNAIL Adhesive applies a controlled amount of adhesive directly to your project, so your hands and work area never get sticky. A small amount creates a strong bond, so your cartridge lasts a long time. We also have refills that slip right into the cartridge, so you’ll never find yourself without your SNAIL. You’ll love the adhesive, and it’s a great price, too!

2-Way Glue Pen:
■ Permanent or temporary bond
■ Dries quickly
■ Great for adhering glitter
■ Blue when wet; clear when dry
■ Chisel tip
■ Washes off skin with soap and water
The chisel tip on our 2-Way Glue Pen makes it so easy to get just the right amount of glue for adding glitter. It’s easy to add sparkle with minimum fuss! 2-Way Glue is also versatile. You can get a permanent or temporary bond. Let the glue dry after you’ve applied it (it will become clear), and it will work just like a sticky note. This is one of my favorite adhesives. Look for more Tips in my August Newsletter. If you are not on my FREE Mailing List be sure and sign up TODAY, Click HERE.

Sticky Strip:
■ Double-sided, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive
■ 1/4" wide
■ Very strong—perfect for our die-cut boxes
■ 10 yards
This super-strong adhesive will hold together a box or pouch like a dream! It won’t lift, curl, distort, warp, or wrinkle. You can also use it to adhere other craft-related embellishments, such as beads, glitter, or embossing powder. It comes in a zippered plastic bag for convenient storage.

Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive:
■ Latex rubber acrylic resin adhesive
■ Adhesive can be both permanent or temporary depending on how it is applied
■ Works great for adhering card stock or Designer Series paper to chipboard
■ Dries clear
■ Excellent for adhering Stampin’ Glitter to surfaces
■ Dual-tipped applicator
I love to use theTombow Multi Purpose Adhesive. It has a dual tip, so I can place it exactly where I want. I can place a small amount with exactness using the small tip, and I can also spread the adhesive over a larger area of paper with the wide tip.

Anywhere Glue Sticks:
Features & Benefits
■ Odorless and permanent
■ 2 per package
■ 20 grams of solid glue each
■ Square corner edge for hard-to-reach areas
Our glue stick is a great economical choice for scrapbooking and card making. It's acid free, so it's safe to use on your scrapbook pages. It’s also safe and easy for kids to use. The rectangular design makes those hard-to-reach areas reachable. With these glue sticks, you can even get into corners!

Dotto:
■ 585" of temporary, self-adhesive dots on paper backing
■ Convenient dispenser rolls dots from paper backing onto card stock, photograph, or accent
■ Adhesive is solvent free
■ Refill available
Scrapbookers love this adhesive! You can reposition pictures and artwork without causing damage. The handy dispenser is so easy to use. You can also use Dotto to create a temporary mask, to hold down a Classy Brass template and paper for Circle Scissors Plus.
