Welcome to (scr)apropos!
I’ve been a scrapbooker since my high school days, when I used construction paper and rubber cement with ticket stubs and restaurant napkins—all in a looseleaf notebook. In the mid-90s, I discovered archival scrapbooking, and I knew I’d found my calling. In the years since, I’ve come across two types of people: those who say, “WOW! I want to do that too! Show me how!”… and those who say, “WOW! There’s no way I could ever do that!”
This blog is mostly written for the latter. I want you to know that you CAN do what I do. It’s just a matter of finding your own style and going for it. Being comfortable with it. Feeling PROUD of it.
I scrap professionally for people who don’t have the time or inclination. I’m overjoyed to have a job doing what I love to do, but really, I think it’s important that your albums be alive with YOUR personality: your memories, your stories, and your little things and big milestones. I want your finished albums to evoke tears and laughter, sighs and snickers. I want you to preserve your legacy.
You can do it! Whether you’re a seasoned scrapper who’s looking for new techniques and ideas, or you’re a beginner who feels paralyzed by the task, or you’re that person who keeps saying, “I’d love to do that, but I’m not creative enough”, this is for you:
You can do this. Let me show you how!
