About
I have been scrapbooking for 6 years and started a business making albums for people. I also started teaching classes to get to meet other scrapbookers in my area and found I love teaching. I don't think I can ever have too much scrapbook stuff!
Host info: Any swaps I host if you want to send a thank you one idea is a dup of whatever you are sending for my son...he scraps too and loves getting stuff in the mail for his album.
Scrapbook album info: 12 x 12 post style albums usually pioneer brand
**Like using pattern paper, stickers & laser die cuts.**
Have a sizzix machine and some dies and the converter system
Use some stamping but not much and some chalking. I have enough chalk and stamping stuff for the amount I use it, but would like to try the smudger thing that is used with chalking.
I like pages that are not too busy so the photos are the focal point of the pages and layouts that have a punch without taking hours to make.
Kids: 2 boys 10 & 20
Stuff kids in: Cub scouts
Pets: 2 cats
Style: traditional not too cute
Colors: Primary, Deep colors, boy colors, yellows (lots), denim, lots of red (more of a cranberry or deep red)
Albums: christmas, baby boy, kids, family (current everyday stuff)
Stickers: Love them use lots, like cm, mrs.grossmans, FM (not any that are cartoon looking or too cutsy)
Eyelets: have used but didn't have much luck with them
Nailheads, pins, brads: not used yet - would like to try BRADS - Tried Brads and use the flatter ones some.
Sizzix dies: Umbrella, Lollipop letters, numbers and punctuation, block, bow, balloons, butterfly, baseball stuff, camera, circles, squares, border ivy, music notes, bitty body, bitty boy hair, bitty overalls, school supplies and convert system with acorn die & rose emboss. Got some more so now I also have, Tennis Shoe, fishing pole, Baseball hat, Fun Serif # sign (works well as a fence)& Seahorse.
Tags: don't use much
Deco squares: like small & large
Transparencies: want to try probably with pict. rather than words
Lumpy or flat: FLAT I don't use lumpy stuff usually such as buttons, charmes and so on
Paper Piecing: Love to get them so I don't have to make them since I don't have much spare time
Brand names I like: Frances Meyer, Mrs. Grossmans, CM (stickers), Provo craft paper especially the slabs and christmas paper packs they put out,
Albums that I am working on or will be: Baby Boy, Graduation (will include school years & growing up, & holidays), Current albums where I put our yearly photos of vacations, holidays & whatever I took photos of and also I have to finnish our Disney Vacation Album.
Want to try: Baby boy paper by Karen Foster it is yellow, green & blue squares with a stitched look, anything boy since I have two & holiday/birthday stuff.
Chalkin Easy tool to hold the chalket puffs and some of the puffs to make chalking easier.
I also like getting home made items such as paper piecing since I don't have time to do them myself but like the looks... mainly for boy pages, Christmas, birthday and other holiday.
Pages I make lots of: Christmas, birthday, fishing/camping (go every summer), cub scout stuff (I don't have any since he just joined)
I have more sample layouts at my website www.jennifersalbums.com if you want to see more and get an idea of my style.
