Scrapbooking ladies need your help/advice/suggestions!

[Chiquita]

Aww.. thanks so much ladies! I hope they like them since this is WAY out of my comfort zone.. but if I can make boarding pass invites, I can do this right? Heh

 

Hopefully this is a totally fun experience and no one that stresses me out! If I'm successful with these you can bet I'll keep up with it..

Yes I will for sure post pics when I'm done.. tonight I'm going to Michaels (and the scrapbook store) so we'll see how much money I end up spending!

I'm making a scrapbook guestbook and only spent $20.50 :)

[Chiquita]

$20.50? Holy.. I've spent quite a bit already I'm embarrassed to say.. however, I registered for a beginner's basics class next wed night so I can properly learn how to do stuff.. can't wait!

I wouldn't buy too much stuff before your class. I took one, and they offered a discount towards supplies for that day. So if they do the same you can end up saving some money by waiting until your class

Yea, but mind you.. I have an entire room in my house dedicated to scrapbooking. I have A LOT of money already invested in supplies. lol Scrapbooking can be a costly hobby if you're not careful.

It sure can!! I have a 3-car garage with a room above it. The room above it is my scrapbooking room. I have the wire paper racks/ the wall hangers everything. I just havn't scrapped since I had my back surgery in Sept.

Thanks Tammy you are right.. there is a 10% discount for stuff if I'm buying after my class.. I only bought a cutter and a couple of 8" x 8" scrapbooking books plus a few adhesives and stickers so far It was a little overwhelming at Micheal's with ALL that stuff there.. oh and I bought some 8" x 8" paper that fits right into the books.. but just a couple of funky pages..

the best way to start out is to buy a book with the paper which usually range from $10-20 and it gives you about 80 pages.
