My Top 5 Scrapbooking Supplies

]]> Shimelle shared her top 10 scrapbooking supplies. In response to her post, I’d like to share my top 5 scrapbooking supplies that I can’t live without.
Fiskars Portable Paper Trimmer

1. Paper Trimmer – a paper trimmer is so versatile. I can cut cardstocks and papers down to size accurately using this handy tool! I have the CARL Heavy-Duty Paper Trimmer and the Fiskars Portable Paper Trimmer. I like having the Fiskars because as the name implies, it’s portable so easier to lug around when I visit my friends for our scrapbooking sessions :-)

2. Adhesives – I love adhesives so much I even have a separate post dedicated to…what else, adhesives! :-)

3. Stamps and blocks – Like Shimelle, I love, love stamps..it’s so easy to use. Inks would be good to have too!

What about you? What scrapbooking suppliers can you not live without?

Frugal Scrapbooking

]]> I love scrapbooking but I’m also a frugal person, and is it just me or does scrapbooking really cost a lot of money? It can, anyway. There are lots of great ideas to make your scrapbooks stand out that don’t cost a ton.

First, look in unusual places for scrapbooking supplies. Don’t just head to the scrapbook aisle at your hobby store because that’s the place you are going to spend the most money. Also, try looking at rummage sales for scrapbook supplies. It doesn’t have to be a perfectly wrapped scrapbook kit, but look for items that could be used in your book.

The thing that I do the most is simply collect things from where we go and what we do, and use them in our scrapbooks. Some of these might not seem like “traditional” scrapbooking pieces (such as wrappers, matchbox covers, and even coasters) but when I put them in with the rest of the page (pictures, journaling) it makes it all come together. Then the pages are not only frugal but also unique.

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.
