Does anyone like to create scrapbooks?

I love scrapbooking in fact I am starting a new one for my cats. Walmart has the best scrapbook supplies and they have a scrapbook just for pets!! It is soo cute... I already have a few books that I have made in the past, and it's so much fun to create new ideas.

I was just wondering if anyone else enjoyed it like me and if you have made one for your cats

I LOVE scrapping! I have started a book for Harley when he was just a baby -I love it!


I'll have to take a picture of a few of the pages I did for him to show you when I get a chance tonight.

I have about 3 scrapbooks going on right now, 1 for Harley, 1 for the new kitten, and 1 for my mom for Christmas. Lets just say I have A LOT of stuff scattered on my floor!

I think I should start one, I know I would love looking at it in the future for the memories. I'm just always so busy, I don't know when I would have time to do a good one.

Well yesterday I started a new scrapbook of me and my friends and I am already almost done....it only took about 2 hours and I did 15 pages...I only have 5 pages left to do. Once you get the hang of it you can do it pretty quick...and it's sooo much fun

Nope, its not expensive at all - its so cheap.

I went to our Scrapping Store the other day - and got 1 album - $15.99, 1 book of cardstock (diff. colored paper) 150 pages for $20.00, which is REALLY cheap, and all the stickers and stuff are only like $1 a sheet, which depends on what kind of stickers you get - but overall, I got a lot to start all my books for about $30 - and I got A LOT of stuff.

Its really not expensive at all!

Like babyharley said, It's not expensive at all. I get my stuff from walmart, and they have good prices.

I actually got the stuff for the scrapbook I made yesterday and this is what I spent:



$7.88.....Scrapbook Album w/ 20 pages and decorative cover

$4.97.....Themed kit. which has cardstock, letters, sayings, frames, and tags

$5.00.....in stickers (i got 5 different packs and they had numerous stickers)


So for a total of $17.85...I was able to make a whole scrapbook.

That is sooo nice...my husband and I actually did the same thing...and I have a huge scrapbook that I keep adding more and more things to. I started with the first date and I have added things ever since....

It can be as expensive or cheap as you want to make it. You can start off with just the basic tools then add one or 2 new things as money allows. When I first started I just got some paper, glue, stickers, page protectors and I made my own album. Since then I kind of went overboard (to put it mildly!!) I became addicted
I had to have my own die-cut machine and dies, every kind of decorative scissors and paper punches imaginable, pens, markers, ect.... I always watch for sales and get most of my stuff then. Ebay is also a good place to buy stuff, you can usually find lots of pretty good deals. Another way to stretch your money is if you have a friend who is also scrapbooking you can trade stuff with them.

A lot of my friends are into scrapbooking. I've never tried it yet, but I would love to make a scrapbook for Katie. I have looked at the scrapbooking section at Walmart and they do have a good supply. We also have a place called The Scrap Yard, but I bet they are costly.

Scrapbooking is so much fun! My newest project is a scrapbook for my unborn nephew.
He's due at the end of this month, and I'm planning on filling it up over the years so that he can have a scrapbook from his Aunt Katherine when he gets a little bit older! I'm SO excited for him to arrive!!!

I scrapbook, but I haven't been in the mood to do it. I put a small one together this year, but that is about all I've done.
