Re: Never scrapbooked before!!

Most of the small local scrapbooking stores have classes. Larger stores like Michael's and AC Moore don't really do scrapbooking classes.

However, scrapbooking is really all about individual creativity. You don't need a class.

To start with paper scrapbooking (versus digital), you can buy an all inclusive kit just to get started, and then add on. An internet search will show you page layouts that other people have done, and will give you some ideas. I have this thread saved to look at for ideas/inspiration.

what might help - at Michaels - they have a baby album kit you can buy, it comes with the album, some paper, embellishments and a small idea pamphlet. Get the 40% coupon in the paper on Sunday - there is a boy and a girl one..not sure if there is a neutral one.

Comes in 2 sizes - 8x8 and 12 x 12.

Here is a link to a bunch of them...a few lines down, the one with the filmstrip is adorable! Makes me want to re-do some of my kid's pages.

I also wanted to bring up digital scrapbooking. It does not have the same look as regular scrapbooking, but for someone like me who has no money Chat Icon I like the fact that I can use the digital elements, papers, etc. over and over again. And they are relatively cheap and there are plenty of great sites that offer freebies.
