Papercraft Haven and More

I have scrapbooked for around 12 years now, my first project was my wedding album for my 2nd marriage...one that did not last (the marriage, not the album)!  From that point till now, I have been hooked!  I love how you are able to take your memories, add photos, journalling, and embellishments to create your own one of a kind album.  The one thing about scrapbooking that I really like the most, is you will never find someone else who will have the same photos as you do, unless it is a function where multiple people have taken photos.  This is where everyone's personal taste will come into affect.    We are going to be working on a monthly album this next year....January through December.  A way to showcase YOUR memories of the month, the things you do, the places you go...things like that!    Your challenge is to look at how YOU want to showcase your memories...  I am using a kit that was purchased at Walmart a few years ago ...

If you have been scrapbooking for a while...you want to kick it up a bit, add a few more supplies to what you have already !  We will start to look at fun things you can add to what you have started out with...things that will help you create YOUR style of things!  I like to give you the basic ideas, it is up to you to look at others' styles, to see what you are attracted to!  So, lets get started on a few additions to the beginner supplies to add to your toolbox!   One of the first things I would add to your supplies is  flowers  especially these by Prima!  Flowers are an easy way to add a bit of "something" to your projects.  There are many things you can do to the middle part of the flowers to make it look like a flower...get a different color button for the middle, or use a brad..put a few different colors and sizes together to make a really unique look for your pages.   The one thing that you can add so much to...stickers, flower...
