Let’s face it, as far as hobbies go, scrapbooking isn’t quite as easy on the pocketbook as say gardening.

But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to make beautiful albums and interesting scrapbook layouts.

Here are some tips for stretching your scrapbook dollar...

A friend recently asked for my best tips that would help a non-Scrapbooker to create a scrapbook as a gift for someone.

This got my wheels spinning. I've been scrapbooking since 1993. My collection currently tops out at fourteen 12x12 albums.

I've put together a few helpful tips, along with my favorite places to find scrapbooking ideas, layouts, supplies, tips, and more ...online.

If you're like me, you have sheets of rub-ons that are half-full (in the same box as the half-used sheets of stickers).

Now that Stampin' Up has rub-ons that coordinate with their stamp sets, there is a new technique using the new product.

Of course, rub-ons aren't just for paper anymore...

I am hoping that this is Part 1 of many Halloween Cards for this year.

As I was standing in the Hobby Lobby rubber stamp section, trying to decide which $9.99 Halloween stamp I wanted to buy, I changed my mind about buying any at all (my Husband will be thrilled!).

The great thing about stamps is that you can use them hundreds of times... but how many Halloween Party Invitations do I really need?

Easter is over and it's now time to think about Mother's Day cards.

Fortunately, you don't need a special stamp set for these cards.

Mother's Day cards can be made using any 'pretty' stamp or supplies.

This basic St. Patrick's Day card literally takes a few minutes to make.

If you have more than a few Irish Blessings to send, this may be the way to go.

Not to mention they'll have a button to wear on March 17th...

I'm not Irish, but I married someone who is.

So I celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with handmade cards and of course, green beer.

This is the first of several St. Patrick's Day cards that I'll post.

This birthday card is pretty easy, and requires very little stamping. Most of the work is in the assembly.
