Luisa’s Scrapbooking IdeasCapture Family Memories With Fun Scrapbooking Ideas

Just a while ago I was thinking about doing some scrapbooking. But just when I wanted to start, thinking about the process gave me the creeps.

It sounds strange but every time I start to scrapbook something goes wrong. It’s somehow inevitable. Most of the time I can’t find all of the tools that I need. Or I was about to finish my session and then ruined the most important cut because I couldn’t lift it of the cutting map properly.

Have you had similar experiences with scrapbooking? Then my 3 golden rules will make your scrapbooking session much more fun. They literally changed they way I did scrapbooking and now I have fun every time I scrapbook.

Golden Rule 1: Keep Your Workplace Clean

The workplace was one of my main problems back then - I just never organized it in the right way. It was just a place where I used to store some of my tools, but there was no real intention involved.

Of course I never managed to find all my important tools when I needed them this way.

My suggesion: Tread your workplace like a well organized office. Every tool and material should have its own place. You will need some tools more often than others and can organize them by priority. And the most important thing is to clean up your workplace carefully after every session.

Golden Rule 2: Good Tools Make Great Projects

Nothing is worse than ruining a great cut because your scissors is not sharp enough. That’s just one example why good tools are mandatory. Probably the best of all Cricut tools is the Cricut cutting machine.

Golden Rule 3: Write Down Your Thoughts

At the end of the day you will want your ideas and thoughts well organized and written down. Why? Because we forget most of our best scrapbooking ideas when we don’t write them down immediately.

Have a plan, maybe even a process to organize your ideas and thoughts so you never forget them and you will have a great time scrapbooking!
