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!

Another warm welcome to new friends here! Share where you are from and what project you are working on, we’d love to know!

Hello everyone, I’m Kirstie from Australia. I was introduced to scrapbooking when I was about 15 or 16. My mum used to enjoy visiting a second-hand bookshop in a small, half-abandoned arcade mall where many of the shops were shut. One day, while walking through to the other end, I saw the most beautiful store. It was painted bright pink and purple and filled with the most gorgeous paper and ribbons.

During the next school holidays, I dragged my sister along to do my first scrapbooking class. I created a page about my little dog, I’ll never forget it— and that’s when the obsession began. I even ended up working in that shop, although it only stayed in that location for a couple of months.

Over the years, I’ve mostly been collecting supplies rather than using them, but during the COVID lockdowns, I started card making and discovered a new love for creating folios and mini albums. I came across Frances just a few months ago, but with the hustle and bustle of life, I hadn’t found the time to try any of the tutorials.

The free trial came at just the right time—I had a weekend at home and decided to give it a go. I started with the ornamental box, as it was the first project I saw and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then spent the next few days poring over the trailers to see what else I might like to make—and I ended up saving over 20 projects! 😆 It looks like I’m going to be busy! I’ve already completed the beginner’s album, and tomorrow I’m planning to start on the fall album! Thank you Frances, I appreciate your efforts and I’m grateful to be part of this community! 🤗
