Close….but you’ll be QUITE suprised that not only were they created by science, but by Mormons.

Did I SAY that the coil was invented by a mormon? No, the TV was. That’s like saying that a car cannot be built without an engine…but you always give credit to the first car manufacturer and not the engine designer…don’t you?

All invented/discovered by Mormons!

Live in Saskatchewan and would like to find an online store to purchase from in Canada.

JoAnn’s sells online, but I don’t know if they ship from within Canada. EBay actually has a ton of scrapbooking stuff. You can refine your search to addresses within a certain radius, which would only show you Canadian sellers. It’s in the vertical box on the left-hand side of the screen, once you’ve gotten to a category of stuff.

If it were me, I’d use Google. Go to www.google.com and type "scrapbooking stores online Canada" in the search box that comes up. Hit Enter. If you get too many to deal with, refine your search and try again.

I have a bunch of pictures at the developer and I want to start scrapbooking. I need some advice on how to cut them to size for my pages. I was planning on using an exacto blade and a ruler. I don’t have much money left because I spent plenty on scrapbooking supplies. Would using an exacto blade or scissors be alright? I want to make sure the pictures are straight.

Also….

If you have any scrapbooking advice or links for beginners that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello – I explained this in your other question, cut the paper itself and put your picture behind the paper so you don’t have to cut your actual picture and it looks neater. Use an exacto knife to cut shapes out. It will be like matting for a picture frame

Why do you go to your favorite scrapbook store? Is it because they have the biggest paper collection? Or the more helpful, knowledgable employees?

What is it that you like best about your favorite scrapbook stores?

Thanks!

Well I would have to say that the best thing about my local scrapbook store is the wonderful, knowledgeable employees! They are so wonderful. If there is a new technique or product, they take the time to show me how to do it. If I have a page that is not quite working right, I can take it in and they make helpful suggestions. They have helped me with ideas for gift scrapbooks.

My local store also offers great classes using all the hottest items. The will also let customers book the "scrap room" for free in order to have little crop sessions with friends. That is always fun and give us a chance to spread out our work more than we could at home. This store has cards for frequent shoppers. One is, take ten classes, get one class free. Another is a 10% discount with an extra 5-10% off on select products each month.

Of course, product quality and selection is always a must. With out that, no one would purchase much. And a good clearance or sale section is a bonus (it’s my first stop every time I go into my local store)!

Hope that helps!

I am the proud new momma of a two month old daughter, and I would love to start scrapbooking. I just don’t know where or what to begin. Please help.

I found my public library to be the most helpful place when I started scrapbooking. There are a lot of books with great ideas! If you don’t know how to locate them, ask a librarian. They’re there to help.

That said, here are several tips to keep in mind.
You want your scrapbook to last, so keep an eye on your materials. You want them all to be acid free – it will keep them from discoloring (and falling apart!) over the years.

Remember that this book isn’t just for you – it’s for the future too! Don’t just paste photos in, remember to also include "journaling" – writing that tells the story. Think of the stories you wanted to know about when you (or your grandmother) was little. The stories are the important part! If you have to be there to explain the photo, the scrapbook isn’t doing you any good.

I have the best luck finding good (and inexpensive) materials by looking in the clearance sections of my local craft stores (Michaels and AC Moores). Also keep an eye out for good sales – My local Big Lots had big packs (25 sheets) of acid free paper for a dollar last week. Jo Anns has scrapbook paper on sale 6 for a dollar this week.

If you need (or want) help from a real person, find a "crop night" in your area (Michaels sponsors them in the stores, if there’s one near you and a lot of the independent stores host them as well). Crops will give you an opportunity to see what other people are doing, get some new opinions and often try out new products (like special cutters and punches).

I am getting into digital scrapbooking, and am excited about all the free stuff you can download online. I am, however, a little aprehensive about downloading. Has anyone ever run into a digital scrapbooking site I should stay away from (spyware, viruses, etc.)? Thanks!

I guess BlueBell would be one that I would stay away from as it doesn’t have as many features as some.

I have only used PhotoMix software for my digital scrapbooking. It works for me as I like to make many collages and such.

Hope that helps

I’m planning on making a scrapbook (and I don’t intend to buy one) but what can I use to make the scrapbook cover? Please don’t say wood or leather, because I don’t have any of those!

Well you can,
* splash different colors of paint all over the book.
*or you can cut your favorite celebreties, singers, authors, or illustrators and stick in a messy place.
*or you can cut your pictures, family picture, class pictures, friends etc.. and stick it.
*get a piece of old cloth, like jeans and cut it and staple it to the copy book from down and add little flowers or stuff the pops, or u can put it plain.
*or get a news paper cut it in different sizes and stick it.

Hope i helped honey
