Do you do scrapbooking? If so, where do you use it? Do you recycle materials or buy an acid free products which last longer? Mine is recycled but it doesn't last longer, i guess like newspaper...but I don't know how to make it look good. What is your idea about scrapbooking?

I scrapbook. I use acid free products because of the effort I put into them and I want them to still be in good shape when my kids are grown, so they can look back on them. I will use items like a newspaper clipping, but I will spray it with Archival Mist that will buffer it and not have it fade or affect the paper that sounds it. Or I will use plastic pouches to put items into so I will not mark the page or if it's something like my baby's hair. As far as looking good, use your style and taste. That way will be part of you. Use colors you like or that match with the photo you're including. There are no strict rules about it.

I love to do scrapbooking. I normally do it in my bedroom. I have a big space on the floor that I spread everything out on. I have a whole bunch of boxes with paper, markers, stickers and other things that I use for the book I am working on. When I cut paper, I make sure I use as much of it as I possibly can even really tiny pieces I try to use. I am looking into a recycling center where I could take my paper scraps.

I love collecting things for memorabilia and so you can conclude that I love doing scrap booking. I love to keep things with special meaning since simple things can make me happy. However, lately, I've noticed that I am into photography nowadays than doing the normal scrap booking. Maybe it is because I have little free time now but either way, we do scrap bookings to treasure our memories and I still do using my camera.

I do love to make scrapbook of the pictures of my son. I do buy new materials if i want to make new scrap book page then i save the other pieces for future use. And now, I am fond of making digital scrapbook and post it on the internet.

I LOVE scrapbooking! I have completed about 3 12x12 albums. I use pattern paper, stickers, brads, eyelets, embellishments, ribbon, die cuts....I use it all!! I have a corner in my bedroom where my scrapbook desk, shelves and drawers are full of scrapbook stuff. I can sit there for hours scrappin' away. I guess you can say that it's my "addiction"!

That's cool! Yeah. by the way, do you use recycling materials for your scrapbook? or buy new stuffs? I am planning to use recycling materials but the problem is i can't find any accessories for acid free so it will stay last longer.. what do you think? do you have things to recommend me?

I have done scrapbooking, but it has been years since I did any of it. I started it before my son was born and he will be 6 soon....LOL I always bought the acid free stuff, and I have 2 or 3 books that I have started and never finished any of them. I may have to bring them out this summer and make that a project!! LOL good luck with your scrapbooking, it just takes time sometimes to get it right!! happy mylotting.
