Top Scrapbooking Articles of 2007

Every scrapbooker is different. There are different levels that we are at, different styles we use, different techniques we try and different articles and layouts we seek. Several weeks ago, I sent out an email to my scrapbooking pals (22 responded) and requested that they help me out with a poll I was conducting. I asked them to go back through 2007 (January through October) and figure out what their very favorite scrapbooking articles were for each month. I emailed a wide range of scrapbookers from different areas, different levels of experience and different styles so that I would get … Continue reading →

With the fall season in full gear, at least here in the Midwest, my camera has been out a lot more often to capture natures changes, my children playing outdoors, and anything else my heart desires.

The Best Type of Binder for Household Notebooks

What is the best type of binder for household notebooks? This question has actually been asked to me a lot in my days of spreading the word about our family central binder. The place where the whole family can find almost any information they need. However, the question posed is a good one, because the type of notebook is important. 1” Binder is the bare minimum size that I would recommend. This usually allows a household with maybe one child or two children to maintain a good record for the family. My families binder is a 3” binder. Yes. It … Continue reading →

When you scrapbook as much as most of us do, you go through a lot of adhesive. Many scrapbookers are swearing that this is the best period. So, what exactly is an ATG? The ATG is an adhesive dispenser that was traditionally used in framing. I think the ATG stands for Adehesive Tape Gun? Or perhaps Automatic Tape Gun? However, much like many … Continue reading →

Credit Cards: The Best Ones for Debt Transfer

So, you’ve read Miriam’s blog about getting a handle on your credit cards, you’ve asked for a lower rate from the companies you still hold cards with, and now you’re ready for the next step – transferring the debt you do have to zero interest or low interest credit cards. Be forewarned – if you do this and don’t change your spending habits, it’s just a step toward more debt. This is a step in debt reduction, not in increasing your available credit, though it will likely have that effect as well. Unless you’re worried that you won’t be able … Continue reading →
