New Scrapper on the Blog

by Maricar

Hello, fellow scrappers and paper lovers! My name is Maricar and I’m the new blogger here at Scrapropos. I’m excited to be here at 451 Press, blogging about this hobby/therapy called scrapbooking. Stacy has certainly done a great job here, and I hope you will welcome me as warmly as you did her.

I’ve been fascinated by pretty papers since childhood, and have been scrapbooking since 2000. But before I found out about acid-free scrapbooking, I dabbled with arranging photos and magazine cut-outs in magnetic pages (horrors!). Now that I know a bit more the proper archival preservation, my photos and memorabilia are safe. But scrapbooking is not just about the photos. And though the papers and embellishments certainly make my heart flutter, I tell myself that it’s not about those either. My goal is to tell my story and leave a record for future generations to discover.

As Stacy Julian said:

Scrapbook your life, and a whole lot more!

I want to learn more this hobby and, in the process, discover more about myself and this thing called life. Will you join me?
