There are several websites you may be interested in searching for that will give you more ideas to add some life and variety into your pages to keep your memories lasting forever.
You do not have to put a lot of money into your scrapbook pages. If you are creative you will be able to think of a lot of creative ways to add embellishments that will bring that extra sparkle into your pages. Embellishments are not cheap, and the average cost into one page could be over $10 just for the embellishments. Being creative, or creating embellishments in bulk will help you cut the costs, but not the quality of your book. Have fun creating your scrapbook and be sure to show it off to all of your friends and family when you are finished!

Post a CommentI met Leanne Bloms and her husband James Bloms through Elance. They ended up stealing 92 of my articles and posting them to an Internet article directory (much like this one). Leanne owes me just under five hundred dollars for all of my hard work. She fools people into doing her writing for her because she's too lazy and greedy to do the work on her own. A disgusting human being.
Here's a great way to save money on scrapbooking supplies, brought to you by our own Leanne Bloms, well known on the Cricut message board. First, post on the boards that you're hosting swaps and have people spend MONTHS putting inchies and twinchies together, using their own money. Then, have them mail them to you, along with cash and postage because they were fooled into thinking they were going to receive the swaps back. Then, keep the swaps, keep the postage, and keep the money. You will instantly have 100,000 FREE embellishments along with cash and postage, all yours for FREE! What a great idea you've had, Leanne - we all admire you so.
