Hello Everyone! My Name is Meghan and I live in Loudoun County, Virginia. I am a Domestic Engineer ( a name I made up, I’m a SAHM), a Navy Veteran, and a Memory Preserver (that’s the fancy name a friend gave me instead of scrapbooker). I have a degree in Fine Arts and have been making scrapbooks since I first discovered a Hobby Lobby in 2000. 😆 Previously I would make layouts to place inside photo albums, and I still do, but it was about a year ago that I started making whole albums. I stumbled upon this community after watching one of the product shares on YouTube and I absolutely fell in love with the technique and style of these scrapbooks. Francės you do an amazing job and thank you for sharing your passion with us. I’m here to learn, share, and enjoy!

Hi everyone, my name is Tonya and I have been making mini albums for about 20 yrs on and off. I love to look at pictures and the thought of just holding them individually is not appealing to me. I am nosey so I need to know who they are and what they were doing in the picture. That really hit me after my parents passed and going thru their albums, I wasn't sure who most of the people where. With the new phones and snapping pictures everyone has them and never prints them out and there is not much said about them. This is why I do it. I give most away that I make and recently with Frances' guidance have been keeping more and more of them for myself.
If you want to purchase the Epson 8550 printer, now’s the time to do it! I just got mine from Office Depot for $300 off!!!!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Kalie (Pronounced Kay-Lee), from the UK and I love crafting but I've been so wrapped up in work and mummy duties that I've completely lost my mojo. It was the notebook holders that caught my eye because I thought these would be fab gifts for my daughter's friends and the perfect excuse to do some crafting! After watching the tutorials, I realised that I'm going to have to do some measurement adjustments as our paper sizes/note pads are slightly different but I'm sure it will be fine. Having looked through the app I'm intrigued by the folios and albums, which I have never made before 😍 so I guess I need to do some paper shopping, it's a hard life!
I do have a question though. I'm having a hard time finding 12x12 chipboard. I'm wondering if we call it something different here? I can get grey board which seems to also be used as book binding, would this work?
Thanks
