How do I get sarted scrapbooking? I have a project idea...

I have my HM pics and stuff I saved from the HM - where do I start? Does Target sell Scrapbook starter kits?

you can go to Michaels and buy some paper and stickers to start with. I wouldnt invest too much $$ at the beginning incase you do not like it.

You can also go to a Creative Memories party (a in-home demonstration scrapbooking comopany). They have some GREAT products for the beginner scrapper!!

I am not sure where you are located, but Scrapbook store will offer beginning scrapping lessons!!

Good Luck! Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks Lisa

I'm in Jersey City, but I think there is a Michael's in Paramus...

I KNOW I will like it - I love crafts! MY favorite class in college was a crafts elective I took - it was awesome!

No problem!!

And...if you are in NJ...then Chekc out AC Moore!! Much Better scrapbooking selections!!

One thing I forgot to mention, decide early on what size album you want to work on. There are many sizes. I started with 8.5 x 11 first them switched to 12x12 and like the 12x12 MUCH better!! More surface area to decorate or fill with pics!!

If you were closer to me...im in Holbrook...Im have a Creative Memories Party tomorrwo at my house. You are more than welcome to come!!
