Scrapbook USA - 2009

Did any of you attend this year's Scrapbook USA Expo? I wasn't able to get there this year but wondered if it was a) well attended b) if there were new cool things or just the same stuff c) if the industry seems to be flattening out, growing, or shrinking because of the economy and d) if the displays were larger or smaller than last year.

I'm just curious if the scrapbooking industry will end up become stronger during an economic stressful time, or if people will turn more towards creating things by hand. I expect because of the costly nature of scrapbooking, perhaps the digital scrapbook industry will become stronger - as scrapbook elements can be used over and over.

It will be interesting to see - but I'd love your thoughts or feedback - and to hear perspective about the scrapbooking world from anyone who attended the Scrapbook USA Expo (or even those who didn't.)

Scrapbook Supplies on Sale

So, I've started listing my scrapbook supplies on sale through eBay. Check back often because I'll be listing new items over the next week or so. Here is just a small sampling of what is up there right now. Stickers, rubber stamps, patterns, and much more to come.

Scrapbook Supplies on Ebay

This coming week, I'm going to take all of the scrapbook supplies that I didn't sell during my garage sale, and put them up on eBay. I'll let you know when they are up, so you can check it out. There are going to be some great deals -- stickers, DOTS and Close to My Heart rubber stamps, paper, and much more. I may end up putting some up in lots, rather than individual items.

Anyway, I just need to take the time to get everything listed.

Scrapbook Garage Sale Results

I wish to thank all of those who attended our multi-family scrapbook / garage sale on Saturday. The money earned was greatly needed and we appreciate the support.

I was deeply saddened to see how many items were stolen. It was very surprising to me that in my small community this would happen. (Perhaps I'm too trusting.) It took me all day to get over the negative feelings this left. I know it happens "out there" but I didn't think it would happen here, and if it did, I didn't think there would be so much taken.

My brother reminded me about one of my favorite stories -- Les Miserable -- when the Bishop offered the stolen candlesticks with his blessing -- and along with it, the opportunity for Jean-val-Jean to create a new and righteous life for himself.

So, I would like to offer this message to anyone who took items without paying. Please accept those items with my blessing.

None of the items stolen were worth enough to give someone a new life, however I freely give them to you and hope you will receive this gift as an opportunity to change your life for the better.

And to all of you who were so nice and so happy with your scrapbooking supplies and other purchases -- it was very much a pleasure to meet you. Thank you again for all of your support!

HUGE Scrapbook Garage Sale - June 16, 2007

Hi all -- so I've decided to sell most of my scrapbooking supplies (since I'm going digital). I'm going to have a huge garage / scrapbook sale on the 16th of June. If you live in the Orem/Utah area -- please stop by. I'll have all of the scrapbook papers and stickers that I designed for Rocky Mountain Scrapbook -- along with embellishments, tools, scrapbook organizers, and tons of other stuff. I have probably $2,000 of DOTS / Close to My Heart Rubber Stamps -- most of which have never been used. Whatever your scrapbook needs -- you'll probably find it at my sale. :-) I'm also giving away some free scrapbook supplies -- so come early.

I'd love to meet any of you -- so please spread the word. The sale will be at 383 S. 100 W. in Orem -- Saturday June 16 -- from 8 am to 2 pm.

Free Scrapbook Kit

Here is a really cute free scrapbook kit from Creating Keepsakes. (July 2007 magazine edition). It's a mini album, and get some free fonts as well. Free Scrapbook Kit

Scrapbook Supplies for Sale

Hi all --

I've been trying to focus on some new things in my life -- and I have realized lately how much "stuff" I have that I'm not really using and probably won't ever use. I have a huge closet packed full of scrapbooking supplies -- every kind of tool, embellishment, rubber stamps, stickers, scrapbook paper, templates, idea books, markers, etc.

I've decided that I am so busy right now that I'm realistically not going to use the supplies -- and because I'm going to more digital scrapbooking -- I won't be needing most of the physical scrapbooking stuff anyway. So, I'm looking at selling everything. I have probably $20,000 worth of scrapbook stuff -- and would like to get at least $5,000 for everything.

Do you have any suggestions on the best way to sell scrapbook supplies?

I thought about selling on eBay but then there's the eBay fees which are getting ridiculously high, and the issues with shipping 12x12 paper and awkward sizes, and then having to list everything. So I think I've ruled that out.

Then I've thought about having a garage sale -- but do you get very much from a garage sale? Is the time spent getting everything ready worth it? That may be the way I'll end up going -- but I thought I'd open up the discussion to the scrapbooking community at large.

If you have any suggestions for me on how to sell of of my scrapbook supplies, please let me know! Thanks so much!

Looking for Scrapbooking Fonts?

One of the best resources for digital scrapbooking fonts is ScrapNFonts. You can find everything from baby fonts to fun and spunky, from elegant to grunge. They also have a free newsletter, so you can see the latest specials and scrapbook fonts.

Free scrapbook sample kits

Computer Scrapbook.com is now offering free digital scrapbook kits. They look really good -- so I thought I'd share!

Scrapbook USA

Well, today is the Scrapbook USA expo and I'm not going. :-( I love to see all of the new ideas, but I put off doing my taxes for too long, and the deadline is looming.

I would love to hear from any of you who attend -- about new vendors, what you liked the most, etc.

Scrapbook USA Expo 2007

If you're interested in scrapbooking (which you probably are if you're reading my scrapbooking blog - LOL!) -- and you are in Utah (or can be in Utah) April 13-14th, 2007 -- you definitely will want to attend the Scrapbook USA Expo at the South Towne Expo center. It's one of my favorite events -- tons of new vendors, prizes, great scrapbooking ideas and tons of classes. If you just want to come and participate in the crop, you can. It's really fun and provides lots of scrapbook ideas and scrapbook deals. For more information go to Scrapbook USA Expo.

Free Digital Scrapbook Elements

If you like getting stuff for free (like me!) you'll love the free digital scrapbook elements from Scrap Girls. Just sign up for their newsletter and every few days you'll get a great newsletter with scrapbooking tips -- plus several free digital scrapbook elements -- like digital papers, stickers, fonts, frames, etc. All of the freebies include sample layouts -- so you not only get some free scrapbook stuff, but you also get free scrapbook ideas. One of my favorite scrapbooking resources.

Introduction to Digital Scrapbooking

There is a great site to learn how to do digital scrapbooking. If you've ever wanted to try it, follow these 8 simple lessons and get started. With digital scrapbooking you can be really creative and if something doesn't work, it's easy to change. Plus, you can print out copies for family members and have backups in case anything happens to your scrapbooks.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this great digital scrapbooking site with you.

Get free photo prints

If you're like me you take most of your photos with a digital camera -- it's way more convenient than film cameras, you can take a ton of photos and not run out of film, you don't have to wait to get your film developed before you know if you have some good shots, and you can experiment a bit and be creative without worrying if you'll end up spending hundreds of dollars on prints.

I also like to use Snapfish to get my digital photos printed for my scrapbooking. It's so easy -- just upload the images you want to get printed, select what size and how many you want. They print them and mail them to you. It's really convenient and right now you can get your first 20 prints FREE! Plus, get 4x6" prints as low as 12-cents at Snapfish by HP!

Anyway, just wanted to share. Let me know if you have other sources you like to get your prints done.
