Scrapbooking Laws

I just read a great post on another blog about scrapboking laws. I especially like #3: It is illegal to attend a crop and NOT buy at least one item from a vendor. (like Ladybug Memories :))

Another I would want would be: A scrapbooker shall not have ANY liquid anywhere near her (or his) neighbor's work of art. (Can you tell what happened to me once?) And maybe: If you get a little crazy at 3:00 AM at an overnight crop and decide to dance on the table, be sure the Sizzix is well out of your way.

What about you? What scrapbooking law would you want to have passed? I'm sure we could get together and add to this list. Have fun!

Tips for Scrapbookers

Here is a website that has lots of tips for scrapbooking. I think every scrapbooker could use this site for getting ideas for their projects as well as answering any questions you may have about this wonderful craft. Happy tip searching!

Scrapbooking for Beginners

As I surfed the 'net today, I came across this article for beginning scrapbookers. It includes products that I will be carrying in my store. If you are interested in any of these, let me know and I'll order them for you. And if you've never scrapbooked before and you want to learn, I'll be glad to help you get started. Email me and we'll get together sometime: ladybugmemories@gmail.com.

Heidi Swapp is so cute!

I decided to look at the blogs of some of my favorite scrapbook people and when I came to Heidi Swapp's, I saw this. The thought that immediately came to mind was: "Look how she looks JUST LIKE her son! Same face, same pose! So adoringly cute!" Great pics, Heidi.............
