Do you feel behind in your scrapping? Do you wonder if you will ever finish that album? Do you wonder how some scrappers get caught up and stay caught up? If so, sit a spell and take this little eight question scrapbook quiz. It will help you see what your goals and your style are within the hobby. No two scrapbookers are identical --as we all know. But we do sometimes put a lot of pressure on ourselves to either get a lot done or to be super artistic on every page. And there are some of us who have never looked realistically at our hobby or our style. If you are just beginning to scrapbook and hope one day it will all get done or just plain feel overwhelmed by the number of photos stacking up...read on!

Springtime gardens, summertime beach and pool fun, and bubble-blowing season are coming around the corner! I thought I'd share a new printing technique for making mats, papers, and frames. These are perfect for our happy warm-weather photos. I will even include a simple variation for your winter snowball-fight photos! :) You have probably got the main ingredients for all these pages in your house right now! You'll never believe it--but bubble wrap can help you make fantastic pages!

Decide the style printing you like.

Let's try something new! My albums have many, many pages done with rectangular shapes, circles, and ovals. I also have my share of pages done with coordinating die cuts in varied shapes and sizes to go with the themes of the photos. But my eye longed for a little bit of a change. I came up with this simple, fast, (and surprisingly elegant) treatment to give my album pages just the variety I longed for. And, talk about speed pages--this goes so fast, you'll have time to do several! They will go together like lightening! And we can all use FAST page scrapping ideas that still look fabulous, right?
