Scrapbooking...not sure where to post
« on: February 08, 2007, 05:10:56 PM »
Hi all!
Not sure if this should be under this or sports & leisure as a hobby???  Anywho...does anyone else scrapbook?  If so did you do so before moving here or since moving here?  I attend a local crop & have gotten a few tips on where to shop, etc. but would love to hear from others who have made this hobby trans-atlantic & where they get their goodies!

I used to scrapbook before moving to the UK, but gave it up as it had all sorts of emotional associations with the life I left behind.

I don't think it's as popular here as it is in the US, but I have noticed limited supplies in office supply shops and a few mags at WH Smith. I'm sure you'll find a source! Croppers have a way of finding goodies!

I just got in to scrapbooking and am working on my wedding album, but it's a s.l.o.w. process!  I have a good friend in the states who inspired me to get in to it.  I've bought all my supplies off EBay and have never attended any classes, etc.

YES PLEASE...on the fav. websites.   I have been onto UKScrappers but found it a bit overwhelming.  I shall give it another go though.  My scrapbooking time has become a bit sparatic with an 11 month old in tow, but I manage to scrap during the occasional naptime!!!

YES!

MeShell is your woman for anything scrapbook-related!

She helped me LOADS when I made an Africa scrapbook for my parents' Christmas gift.

I love scrapbooking, but haven't done it much since moving here.

I'm keen to get back into it though!
