Make scrapbooking a family affair
If you love to scrapbook, it’s only natural to want to share your passion with those around you. However, converting people into full-fledged scrappers can be a challenging task. At one point, both my mother and my best friend were avid scrappers. Now, I’m the only one who has managed to keep it up.
Luckily, there are still ways to share what you love without forcing everyone to pick up a new hobby. Enlist your family and friends to help you find embellishments for your scrapbook. Have them save anything they think you might be able to use. Many people hate to throw useful items away and will be happy to give their buttons, bows, wrapping paper, greeting cards, fabric swatches, and other goodies a new home. Remember to show them the finished layouts you created with their treasures.
Asking your loved ones to contribute journaling to your scrapbook pages is another way to share your hobby. This is especially fun if you have a young child at home, since kids tend to have clever and usual insights for holiday scrapbook layouts. For example, a child’s description of how your family celebrates Christmas is a wonderful way to spice up a layout of people opening their gifts.
