Srapbookers please help!
 

I just signed up to be a demo. I really want to combine scrapbooking and stamping, but I am clueless. I have scrapbooked (albeit not in the last three years! I think it was the fourth child that put me over... but that is another thread :) )but, I have never scrapbooked with stamps! The thought of not having to run out and buy stickers or those paper punch out thingies to finish a page is very exciting to me. Especially since we are moving to Korea and I won't have a Michaels 5 minutes away!

Anyway I have spent the last hour searching for a "progressive" scrapbook ( where you take a 6x6 and go to a 8.5x11 to a 12x12) which I read about on another thread. but I can't find a thread describing the technique. Anbody have one?

Also, does anyone know if there is a template for a one sheet wonder that creates 12x12 pages? I just spent less than two hours last night using the one sheet wonders templates for a 6x6 , creating a beautiful set of pages ( at least I think so!). I figure what better way to spend my time waiting for my demo kit than creating things I can display for my first shows? :wink:

TIA, Dawn

By the way what does TFS stand for?

I'm not much of a scrapbooker... but TFS stands for Thanks For Sharing :D

Progressive scrapbooking is described in SS January issue. Basically, you do a 6x6 layout, then you demo how you can put that 6x6 page onto an 8 1/2 x11 page and just add a few more embellishments, and then you can take that page and put it on a 12 x 12 page and you can add a couple more photos and/or journaling. If you go to scrapbooking pages in the gallery and do a search of progressive pages, you should be able to find samples. Try clicking here: http://gallery.splitcoaststampers.co...=&way=&cat=586

No demo number yet... sent the paper work in last night so....maybe by Wednesday?

Just Clay, Dawn

Memory Makers has an EXCELLENT special issue which is still available and only $8. It is called "Stamping and Scrapping." It covers every aspect of stamping in scrapbooks that I can imagine and has TONS of beautiful samples.

You can get it off their website, although I think it is $10 there. I picked it up for my sister yesterday at my local scrap store for $8.

Good Luck

I love that MM Scrapbooking and Stamping special issue...I grab it and read it over and over again. It's a great reference.

You can use your 40% off coup to get it at Michaels or AC Moore if they offer that where you are.

I just looked at our Stamp store for the mag. No luck and Michaels didn't have it either... Love the ideas so far. Any ideas for a one sheet wonder for a 12x12? I may just have to create a two sheet wonder myself!
