Do you need Scrapbooking Advice? Do you want to scrapbook, but aren’t sure where to start? Are you overwhelmed by all the products? 

We will look at scrapbooking for beginners and advanced alike, scrapbooking ideas and supplies, heritage scrapbooks, themed books, tools, embellishments, rubber stamping & embossing and even take a look at some new & interesting products.

As a long time scrapbooker, I often wonder what it’s like for someone who wants to start scrapbooking now or who wants to do a book for a gift or to document a special vacation, party or event in life.

There are so many products out there - seems like new ones weekly - they sometimes overwhelm me. I read that there were over 27,000 new scrapbook products introduced in 2008! I find that hard to wrap my brain around! So, where in the world do you start?

Not the creative type? .... Don't Worry!


We can provide you Free Scrapbooking Advice, ideas
and Tutorials for
beginners to advanced.



Or check out the easy 10-step Scrapbooking Basics at our
Quick Start Guide.


We have over 30 pages of themed layouts from Air Force to Zoo, showing over 1000 exmples, with the supplies, embellishments and techniques used at 
Themed Books.  


We have a number of Stores to purchase and review some of the products we show in our layouts. The stores are sponsored through Amazon at 
Merchandise Stores.  


You can check out some quick previews of those books at our
Layout Gallery.



Use the "Contact Us" form to
get some personal assistance through e-mail.


.... All you have to have to be a success with a scrapbook is the desire to want to document some of those special moments. If you can use tape, scissors (NO! You don’t have to cut a straight line) and a ruler (There’s the straight line) and if have a few photos, you can do it!

Here’s some advice on how to get started, what tools you need to start, ideas and layouts, places to purchase scrapbook kits, papers, and embellishments, or ready-made books and layouts and if all else fails, even some links to internet scrapbook sites. We will even link to places that have ideas for storage of photos and organizing your scrapbook supplies.

Ready? Let’s Go! This is going to be a blast and you will have a great creation to keep for yourself or family or to give away.  
I bet you'll keep it, or at least want to! 

So let's get started with the Scrapbooking Advice!
