Mod Post 📢 Flairs! 😅💗✌️🌼

Upvotes

As you may have noticed we've added some flairs for posts, and while no one's content would ever be removed for having no flair or the "wrong" flair - we do hope to get some input on how folks are categorizing these flairs for themselves. It might also help us shape the expectations as we categorize things in the community.

I'll offer this as a general guideline, but would love for folks to give their own descriptions as well and perhaps we can expand or narrow definitions and examples as needed. Or add different flairs to better fit different categories of scrapbooking.

FLAIR Explanation
Traditional Scrapbooking Preserving family history in books, boxes, or cards using physical media.
Digital Scrapbooking Preserving family history in books, boxes, or cards using digital graphics and software.
Junk Journaling Preserving personal history or spontaneous thoughts in a freeform or expressive outlet.
Collage Assembling multiple types of media to form a new image.
  • The Tradtional flairs have been split further into multiple categories.
  • Does Junk Journaling need something similar?
  • Would a "work in progress" flair be helpful?

I also added some different colors for user flairs, and plan to upload some emojis to use in those as well. I always use Flat Icon since they let me adjust pixel size! So keep an eye out for new additions throughout the day!

I bought this scrapbook from Michaels years ago and am having trouble finding something similar. I’ve finally almost filled this one and have found style book works well for me — but my search for scrapbooks at Michaels is only turning up photo albums. Any recommendations?

Beginner Options for text

Upvotes

Hey all,
I am new to scrapbooking and the biggest barrier for me is how to get any text on my pages. Initially I wrote but that was terrible, then tried stickers which were ok but difficult to get straight. So I thought of stamps, but I find it annoying how many letters I need to even make a sentence and the outcome is not always ideal. I could print text on sheet but then it doesn’t always flow with the design because of the opaque paper.

My question is what is the best way to have a neatly written, or transferred text onto my page? Initially I thought of getting a circut but I am unsure I need something like that just to add text and it seems like a bit of a learning curve. Ideally it would be a quick(ish) process to print/transfer the text.

In the early 2000's, I attended a "Tot-to-Teen Album" class hosted by a Creative Memories rep. I'd love to get those instructions and supply list, so I can make another one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In this process video I created a Christmas scrapbook layout featuring the boys enjoying s’mores around the campfire at the North Pole. These nighttime photos were pretty dark, so I used the bright colors and plaid papers from the Doodlebug Tinsel Time collection to help them stand out.

Traditional Reminiscing on old scrapbooking culture !

Upvotes

Came across this IG video (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DckOxfGu-bC/?igsi=MWhuOXUyN29xNnM5bg==) and it just reminded me SO much of what scrapbooking culture was like in the early 2000’s. It was such a blast getting to go to my local shop called “Scrapbooks & Stuff.” I’d spend hours there every summer, crafting alongside grandmas, teachers, aunts, and moms.

There was a craft room in there too that had a giant die cut machine for all to use, vending machines with all the snack essentials, long tables with ample room for all your supplies, and various women of all ages (I was about 10-12 yo lol) coming together to craft on a Saturday afternoon. I’d always admire the veteran crafters who seemed to just float around the room and the shop with their rolling craft bags and kitschy designs. It was just a fabulous time. I know with the digital age it’s been so nice to see so many people my age exploring the craft, but I miss the community aspect of it all. The warm and cozy silence of the craft room, kind commentary by others walking by, and gentle guidance (especially when powder embossing at 10 yo w the heat tool).

After having so much nostalgia about it all, I thought I’d post as I’d love to hear your stories as well!

It was a great time 💜

So my girlfriend's birthday is coming up next month and I wanted the gift to be special and memorable. I thought to add our fav moments, memories, chat screenshots, Polaroids, etc etc in the book.. but idk how to start it. Or where to start it. I wanted it to be neat and special rather than a clumsy, Pinterest vibe. Can anyone give me tips that I can use to make it ? Anything is appreciated

Product Advice Recommendation needed for a photo album/potential scrapbook

Upvotes

Hi! I thought this thread might be the most helpful for what I’m looking for. I have 104 film photos and 2 printed speeches I’d like to combine into an album for my friend. I could probably leave 4 out to make it a nice 100. I originally purchased a scrapbook, but it is an odd size and doesn’t fit my photos without me cutting all of them. I’ve been looking into photo album, but I haven’t seen any that I could add my own inserts or customize it to have scrapbook like inserts at the end to include the speeches. Any ideas or recommendations of where I could customize an album like this or how to create my own?

Thanks in advance!

Digital Digital Scrapbooking Apps?

Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a free app for scrapbooking that does not make you sign up for subscriptions by month/week. I liked the Paper app but can’t justify another subscription. Is there anything like that out there or are they all pay to use ?

Traditional I’m new to journaling and spent $400 on crafts. I like to mix different media. Did I overdo it?

Upvotes

Honestly I will use it all. It should last me for years 🤣 The only thing I may use less are the wax seal stamps. I fell in love with those. I’ve never crafted before so that’s why I spent a lot. I bought everything I need so I’m all set. My journal is A5 so it’s not like I’m going to use all my crafts quickly.

So did I overdid it? I don’t feel like it. In quite satisfied and can’t wait to start. How much have you spend the most on crafts for your journals?

Not sure if I can post this here, but Pokémon just released a video with a scrapbook page for each of the 1025 Pokémon and I thought it was too cute not to share!

Also, I feel like it could give some inspo :)
