I’m new to scrapbooking and want to create a nice baby scrapbook. I already have an A3 book to fill but I want help with layouts, materials etc. A baby centered book is not necessary but if anyone could recommend a beginners book, and maybe a book that has some easy to follow ideas for layouts I would be very grateful 
scrapbooking can be intimidating when you are just starting out, but it doesn’t have to be. There are a few books that would be a great help to beginning scrapbookers.
A few of my favorites are "The Big Picture" by Stacy Julian, "Creative Sketches" by Becky Higgins, and "Scrapbook Page Maps" by Becky Fleck. They are not specific to baby scrapbooking and are wonderful for jumpstarting your scrapbook pages on any theme, because once you start you won’t want to stop!
I also have a site devoted to scrapbooking with many areas related to beginners. You are welcome to check it out.
Good luck to you, and congratulations on the new baby!
I was wondering if anyone had any unique/cool ideas for a baby scrapbook. I already have some basic ideas, but I was wondering about some more. Thanks!
I echo the idea on the wrapping paper. For one of my showers for my first, a lady gave me a homemade hooded bath towel wrapped in bathtime wrapping paper. I took the paper and just used if for the page layout and used pics from that shower to decorate. It was very easy… no ironing needed.
Another thing I really love is preprinted pages. I know you might be thinking – how un-unique is that!! BUT it saves you a ton of time and you can still embellish them to whatever degree you choose. The brand I love is Aimee J Inc. I tend to go way overboard when it comes to the number of pics I want to include resulting in a huge number of pages. The printed pages help to keep things going and focused so I don’t lose track of what I wanted to accomplish.
I’m going to try this idea myself… take a bunch of pics of your baby’s eyes, ears, toes, fingers, hairline… etc. memories you want to capture and make them into 1-2 in. squares to form a chunky border on your 12×12 page then put a full baby pic in the main area of the page and embellish as you like. I waited for Michael to fall asleep and tried this. Hint – make sure your flash is off – my pics came out better without it. Have fun!!!
I have some broken gold items and earrings that i lost the match to, etc. I want to sell it for scrap. Pawnshops usually offer pennies on the dollar. I know gold is high right now. Where is a good place to sell the scrap so I can get closer to what its worth?
You have missed to say where are you living, which city.
Regardless your living place, when you sell your gold, you sell per gram at the international prevailing rate + or – within acceptable tolerance.

I love to scrapbook and like talking to others who love to scrapbook also. Scrapbookers are very creative people, full of great ideas. What are your favorite hints and tips for scrapbooking?
Color is my thing. I don’t like to put too much on a page – one can overdo it with all the awesome stuff out there. I am careful to match colors in the pictures to papers and things I use, but I try to match one of the less dominant colors. It makes things pop.
I love the rub on stuff that’s out there now, much better than the first rub on products.
i also collect stickers with sayings and quotes to use for areas that need a little something but I don’t want to journal. Sometimes just a few words say it all.
I guess everyone has their own scrapbooking philosophy. Some love to journal, some will decorate a whole page with just one picture. Some are techniqe junkies!
That’s the great thing about scrapbooking, it’s all your own style.
Color and Balance. It took me all those words to just say that.
I wanted to have friends come over & scrapbook. I’m not sure how to word it.
What you want to do is let your friends know what to expect at your home. Let them know what time you’ll be cropping, if you will be teaching them something or making a small project together. You should let them know what supplies & tools they should bring & what you will have to share. Also, if you are doing games, swaps, etc, you can let them know ahead of time. If you are doing a theme, like pajama crop, let them know. If you’ll have food or want them to bring some, let them know. Here is an invite that I would use:
70’s Cropping at My House!
Friday night, from 6 pm until midnight.
Please wear some groovy threads & prepare to disco out while cropping!
Light snacks & sodas will be provided.
Please bring basic tool kit & projects to work on. We’ll make a Mother’s Day Card with alcohol inks. (I’ll have supplies).
I’ll have to share: Quickutz & dies, Wishblade, computer for journaling, Sizzix & dies, paints, craft iron, rubber stamps, trimmers, and all my idea books.
Also, DIY scrapbooking had a segment on this awhile back, and had lots of good general ideas. Here is some info from them:
* Invitations – Use your scrapbooking know-how to create an invitation inspired by your crop theme. Creating the invitation is your opportunity to set the tone for the crop. Be sure to inform croppers of items they’ll need to bring, or what supplies will be available. If crop time will be limited, be sure to specify crop party times on the invitation.
* Creating a Festive Atmosphere – Themed decor, food and music work in tandem to create a jovial event. Tip: Music should be played at low volume to avoid distracting the croppers.
* Favors – A themed party favor for your guests — like a sticker packet — heightens guests enjoyment of the crop and provides them with an inexpensive supply that can be enjoyed afterwards.
* Games and Prizes – A little friendly competition can add to the fun. Gerbrandt suggests weighing croppers’ bags as they arrive, then awarding a prize to the cropper who brings the most (or least) supplies. Alternately, croppers can be challenged to create as many borders or page elements using one tool or supply.
* Photo Op – Finally, don’t let the opportunity for taking great photos pass by! Record the evening’s fun and friendship on film.
* Organize supply stations to manage traffic flow for a larger groups. Have participants label any supplies brought to the crop.
* Create an "Information Station" where croppers can peruse magazines and books for new page ideas.
* A swap basket facilitates easy supply trading. Croppers simply put in items they no longer need, then search for new items to take home.
* Consider providing a kit to participants, or take a collection up to buy needed supplies for the crop.
* Contests are a great way to stimulate creativity and add to the fun of any crop. Croppers can create clever centerpieces, quick pages or paper dolls.
Happy cropping!
