So what do I mean by “Scrapping Sassily”? Well, here we go with my stream of consciousness writing for the evening. See, I’m in one of those moods-not a list mood, but a “be who you are” kind of mood. BE WHO YOU ARE!!! Don’t be a cookie cutter version of someone else-or the person someone else wants you to be. Be yourself. In everything you do. Always.
Scrapbooking Kits? Of course they’re sassy, or can be anyway if that’s what you’re looking for. The thing is, there are lots of different kinds of kits. Do you want a full book kit? Or just a page kit? Sometimes, when you have just one event, but lots of pictures from it, it’s nice to have a kit to work with. For example, if you take a family vacation, or say, a trip to Disneyland (my fave) you’ll have a lot of pictures of just one event. Did you know they make a Disney Scrapbooking kit? The kit includes a Disney theme scrapbook, stickers, paper, embellishments, etc. You can also get them in different sizes, just in case you don’t have quite as many pictures as…say…I would…
So, how many scrapbook ideas are out there? Literally billions. So, we’re going to narrow our frame of reference. I want to talk about different types of actual scrapbooks, the books themselves, the ones you put all of your wonderful memories in. There are a few things you have to decide when you go shopping for your first scrapbook (s). You have to think about a whole bunch of different things when you make your final decision about what they will look like. It’s not just important what they look like on the inside, but also on the outside. So, here are some things to think about.
Scrapbooking ideas… Hmmmmm… Where would you find them??? OH WAIT!!!! On a cool site like One Sassy Scrapper maybe? But that’s not the only place. There are so many places to find really great ideas. So, not everyone is the most creative person ever, right? And even people who are creative can hit a slump sometimes. Ever heard of writer’s block? Well, I’ve had scrapper’s block…several times…at least. What do you do when that happens? Or, what do you do when you have thousands of pictures and no place to put them and you want to be a sassy scrapper too? Here’s my list of some of the best places to look for helpful hints, gorgeous layouts, scrapbook templates, etc. to help you get started:
Scrapbook Paper types are today’s One Sassy Scrapper List! Ok. So. I just have to say that there are waaaaay too many different kinds of papers, themes, designs, textures and colors out there for this list to be the end of your search for the world’s scrapbook paper. I’d like to believe I knew every kind of paper there is, and sometimes I think maybe I know too much or, at least, just enough to get really stressed out when I try to figure out which paper to use in my one little layout. So, bottom line, I’ll do my best to get you started with categories and types of paper. First thing to do when choosing scrapbook paper is to make sure it is photo safe, lignin free and acid free.
Scrapbooking Tools and Supplies…oh my! Lately, I’ve been into making lists.

In the next few posts, I’ll be sharing scrapbooking ideas my scrapping buddies and I have learned over the years. This one is a list of all of the tools, supplies and things you’ll need to start being a sassy scrapper in your own right! Ready, set, go…..:
