Top 40 Scrapbooking Blogs to Remember

Do you take tons of pictures?  What do you do with them after you take them?  If you are like many people the pictures either stay on the camera, sit in a file on the computer or sit in some box in the closet.  Wouldn’t it be a lot more fun to have them in a scrapbook so you and everyone else can flip through and look at the pictures?  Reminiscing through a scrapbook is fun for the whole family.  Scrapbooking may seem time consuming and daunting to some, but there are many ways to complete smaller scrapbooks or by using kits to complete whole scrapbooks quickly.  Scrapbooking blogs tend to have a focus on either digital scrapbooking or traditional scrapbooking.  I have broken them out into categories below.  Check out all of the layout ideas, kits, and suggestions made on the following blogs.

1. Scrapbookingpaper.net/blog : If you’re not into cutting paper and taping it down with your pictures you might be interested in digital scrapbooking.  The end result is similar, but you create the page online and then print it out and insert it into the scrapbook.  No tape runner necessary.
2. Blog.designerdigitals.com : Once you decide that you’d rather do digital scrapbooking over traditional scrapbooking this blog can give you a lot of tips and tricks on how to get just the right look on your pages.  Sprinkling is a technique that she covers.  If you don’t know what that is you’d better check out her blog.
