Sent my info already, just needed to subscribe so I get all the updates. I have to go get a book yet. My favorite stuff is from Creative Memories but it gets so expensive.

I hear you if you honeslty want a total on the scrap book stuff i have you all my faint


My friend and I split everything mostly except for like the basics we have two cutting mats and two blades, but everything else like the cricut or the sticker machine we split the cost...

NOT INCLUDING DISCOUNTS WE HAVE ABOUT $7000 OF PRODUCT!

Over the course of 3 years that is!

I hear you there! I love to scrapbook and card-make and anything crafty to use the TONS of scrapbook/ stamp stuff I have. It's soothing and relaxing if you do it when the kids are asleep (thus not wanting to "help").

I hear you ladies! I have Stampin' Up supplies coming out my ears, as well as additional scrapbooking supplies from WDW. I have, for the most part, been cut off from buying further supplies until I actually start doing the scrapbooking itself! I am very excited about this project though. I just have to find a recipe...hmmmmmmmmm .

 

[eeyore45]

ah - my people!!! I probably only have hundreds of dollars invested, and no book to show for it!! When we went to Disney the first time, I bought a Disney Princess Book, lots of papers, stickers etc... got it out, and froze. We went to Disney again. . . Ibought more... then I went to a scrapbook store and brought everything with me. And I bought more supplies... and just couldnt do the first page!! *sigh

Then sil had a baby, and emailed us pics, so I uploaded them to the local camera store, printed them, went to JoAnn Fabrics bought another book, and more paper, supplies... and made TWO books!! and they turned out good!!

DS girlfriend graduated so I bought MORE supplies...

but I dont think I can do a book with our Disney memories, too overwhelming!!

So thanks for the encouragement, and esp for the idea of a circle journal... the more I think about it, the more excited I get!!

(or am I excited because tomorrow I'm going again to the store!!!)

Aries I've read other dis'ers that have gone to that!! It surely is extreme - my problem, why DISNEY??? I couldnt sit still scrappin, I'd have to be out in the WORLD!! So close to Epcot, and not go in?? I couldnt do it, I would here Tinkerbelle calling me to Splash Mt, POC....

I tried to take some suggestions to get pictures in Magic Kingdom for the scrapbook - we took so many of the castle, and around the Walt Statue...

I cant do the disney one either... I am going to the NJ one because its only and hour away from me. I would never trade disney hours for scrapping thats supposed to be saved for after the trip

Now I understand!! I searched the FAQ, and noticed there is one 3 hours from me - in Indy!! Its definately something to think about!!

BTW, I was lazily watching anything but the funeral - came across Scrapbooking on the "DIY network" on HGTV - and went to their website, they have "templates" there...

http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/pac_ctnt/text/0,2019,DIY_14161_24155,00.html

(the home page looks like hours of fun clicking and learning... esp "Beginners Basics... http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/pac_ctnt/text/0,2019,DIY_14161_22733,00.html )

um... now, talk about a beginner... as a teacher I know I can use those cutouts, and at some of the Scrapbook stores they have the machines you just shoot thru paper and a shape put it thru the machine and viola...

so these templates, I just use scissors to get the same thing?!! (I told you I have no confidence, but lots of ideas!!)

I'm on my way to Roberts ("Row-B-air-s" for the Frenchies) to get me some 8x8 OR 10x10 scrapbookage...plus the fixings for my MINNIE cover complete with ribbon and HOPE they have some tree shaped dye-cut that would pass as broccoli so I dont have to send away on the internet for super cool broccoli shapes.... One more daycare buddy needs to get picked up before I can GO, though.

When do we have to have our books bought, covers done and signing-dodads ready????

 

[aries1980]

I need Iwantmydvc addy still...... waiting to here from here havent heard anything yet!!

But I will close the sign ups on the 15 and mail date for the 30 sound good everyone!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Sounds good to me! Maybe tomorrow at lunch I could go get some supplies. If not, I will get them this weekend. Can't wait!

 

[mousehouselover]

Those dates sound good to me, I'll have the chance to work on a few things after I get home. And I'll look around for some new scrapping suff when we're there. inkbounc

Eeyore45~ My CM consultant has marathon retreat weekends and rents out space in a hotel. Everyone gets together and scraps to their hearts content. Registration is pretty reasonable and includes some meals and prizes. I think the next one is in just a few weeks so I'm not sure she has space but I know she tries to do at least two a year. I can post or forward info if you want it.

I went to Jo-Anns tonight and found my book. I have to wait until Fri to get it though. I knew as soon as I saw 'the one' I'd know it and I'd be :jumping: about it and everything would just come together. Well, it did! I found the book and it was like I know how I'm going to do my intro page and everything.

 

[eeyore45]

Going to Michaels and JoAnn's today, going to dig through my closet to see what I already have. This is my goal today!!

Plans and dates sound good to me Aries. Thanks for your patience with this Newbie!!

MHL - I just dont think I'm ready for a scrap marathon... but you never know!! I can do the little 8x8 books when I have just 10 or so photos, its the bigger albums that I just freeze at!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK! I made it to Michael's on my lunch hour. I got a book and a few supplies. I will have to see what I have when I get home and decide on which materials and photos I will use. My mom will be over tonight, and I will have to remember to ask her about recipe ideas! She used to cater for a living and has now retired from her office job and is reworking some of her recipes into healthier versions. Hopefully I can start creating the layout itself this Sunday. I am so excited!

Hey I have that scrapbook too. Got mine at Michael's and it was $15 !!! I'm using that for a vaca scrapbook tho!

I went to Michael's last weekend and got a great deal. They had those scrapbooking kits for 75% off. I found one that included 2 8x8 scrapbooks and tons of embellishments, papers etc! SO I got it for only $11.24! Now I have one 8x8 to use for our exchange and another 8x8, embellishments and papers to put on the massive pile of unused scrapbooking supplies in my Dining room! Hey I have an idea maybe someday I'll actually make a scrapbook!
