I’ve never been a consistent “scrapbooker” mainly because it’s so time consuming and easily takes over my life. What starts out as a free afternoon turns into a 3AM mess of glue, cute paper and tiny scissors with no food, water or bathroom breaks. (Who’s with me on this?!)

I tried to finish our wedding scrapbook before our 1 year mark…. but I just couldn’t do…

Our photographer, Alberto from Duet Wedding did a wonderful job at our wedding. His team not only took a ton of great photos, many were taken without my noticing! Mr. Violet & I both agree that Duet earns an A (despite being a laid back bride, I can be quite critical sometimes so I didn’t give Duet an A+ because I believe there’s always room for…

I just discovered these awesome cool gadgets today. I was in desperate need for a perforating blade for a birthday present I was making for Mr. CB’s birthday. PaperSource was out of blades for my cutter BUT they had these awesome mini gadgets made by Tonic Studios. Check out this mini perforator . . . it was $4.30 at PaperSource .

Miss Butterfly blogged about how much she loved the Let Me Tell You Bride-to-Be Scrapbook (they’re both made by the same company), and the Me & My Honey scrapbook (which won “best new product” at the National Stationery Show this year) is just…

I pushed aside all my etsy projects, and focused on my own scrapbook Sunday night (not a friend’s or client’s, but my own). The last time I scrapped for myself was for a Bermuda trip (2 years ago) that I have yet to finish. Here’s a tip - don’t overwhelm yourself by thinking that you can scrap a whole vacation. Don’t go printing out all…

Miss Violet’s earlier post today on scrapbooking got me nostalgic about my own scrapbooking days. I used to go to Michaels almost every weekend to buy scrapbooking supplies and check out their awesome weekly sales. Over the years I’ve saved boxes full of programs, postcards, ticket stubs and more that I’d planned on scrapbooking one day. Mr. Bee even bought me a scrapbook filled with…

Who loves to scrapbook? I do! We’re always talking about gifts for the bridesmaids, well what about the bride? For the scrapbook brides, these would be an excellent gift. Fill a tote or a basket with some of these goodies and I’ll she’ll love you for it.
