Hello and welcome to the group!

My name is Ronney and I noticed that there wasn't a group for us, so I decided to start one where we can discuss what we are doing, new techniques, nifty products, trading supplies, etc...

Also, please no blatant advertising (including but not limited to Creative Memories, Stampin Up!, CTMH and others)

Random acts of kindness would be nice, and so would swaps.

I hope we can make this a great place to lose weight and scrapbook along the way!

Thanks for stopping by,
Ronney

    Good morning!
    I just recently got back into crafting in general. I was a scrap booker for a while, but I'm trying my hand at some other projects as well.

    swap... basically explains itself. your exchanging something
    rak ... random act of kindness ... some one gives you something with not wanting anything in return :)

    YAAAAAAAAY I just found this group. I am absolutely addicted to anything to do with scrapbooking and have been a member of MFP since the beginning of the year. I have been debating about scrapping my own weight loss journal. I love to make mini albums and alter stuff..... Would love to hear from any of you who would love chat scrap stuff. I rarely do 12 x12 albums now but have done one whole album of various different layouts. Spend more time scrapping mini's. I guess I am sounding like I am raving now.....just so excited to find this group here!!!

    Sooo glad to have found this group too! I'm obsessed with scrapbooking (to put it mildly!!) I just quit my job working at my Local Scapbooking store because I had no self control!! lol I need to lose about 90lbs! yikes! But I am using scrapbooking as a way to help me because I am a hardcore night eater...so instead, I scrap! I have 3 boys. My oldest is 6, middle is 3 and youngest will be 2 in May. They give me soooo much inspiration both in my weight loss and scrapbooking! Add me as a friend if you like, I can use all the accountability and inspiration I can get!

    Hello! Was just curious if there was a scrapping group on here and was pleased to see there is! I'm Stacy and I have been scrapping since 2001 and recently starting digital scrapbooking (though I am still a paper gal at heart). I love scrapping but just can't seem to find the time lately unless I'm at at crop or retreat.

    One of the previous posters mentioned doing an album of their weight loss journey... I did this and I'm so glad I did! I had over a 100 pounds to lose so I did a mini album and included a pic for each month (or tried do, missed some months when I regained weight!) with my stats at the end of the month. It was a great motivator for those times when I was discouraged and needed a visiual of how far I had come. I now use the album when I speak at Weight Watchers Open Houses. :happy:

    I had no idea how to start on making cards, so I took a couple of classes offered at my local scrapbook store. I also got the book "Originals: Handcrafted Cards Made Easy" by Jeanette Lynton.

    I also save the handcrafted cards that are given to me and will "copy" them. It's really not too hard to get started. Just a bit overwhelming in the beginning.

    Good luck!

    I have found sketches to be extremely helpful in card making and scrapbooking. I never used to use sketches, but I loooove them now!

    I have a scrapbooking blog if anyone would like to check it out...there's cards and altered goodies on there too at times :)
