This week with our Three Doors Down theme for May, we’re taking a look at a very helpful blog in the Lifestyles Channel — Mad Cropper. The blog’s author, Christine, isn’t mad in the sense that she’s angry. She’s just mad about scrapbooking.
Mad Cropper offers lots of help with traditional as well as digital scrapbooking. Christine even does scrapbook product reviews for you.
And right now, she’s having a cool contest to give away a Kodak Easyshare printer.
