Topic: RE: Where is everyone?
I'm pretty new to scrabooking. Just started a few months ago and just have a few supplies. Where is the cheapest place to get scrapbooking supplies? Walmart, Michaels, online, where?
I don't have enough supplies yet to have must haves. LOL This is what I have:
~ Various paper patters 12x12
~ 2 scissors with fancy cutting designs
~ 12x12 Scrapbook
~ Glue stick
~ Glitter pin in silver and gold
~ Photo corners
~ 10 stencil pages - letters, numbers, designs, etc.
I think that's about it. LOL I need to get more supplies!
Topic: RE: i found you guys..im an addict to....
If you have listed Scrapbooks to your hobbies and favorites, you should see a link for this board to the left there. Otherwise just save the page as a favorite to come back to it.
I just found this board too. It's kind of slow though compared to the boards I usually frequent. Where is everyone?
I just started scrapbooking a few months ago and love it. It's so addictive and time flies when I do it!!
Topic: Pictures of YOU!
How often are you having pictures taken of yourself? Me? I'm doing it weekly right now because I'm almost 4 weeks out and am losing a lot per week so seeing the change weekly might be minimal, but at least it's a change!! Probably in May I'll start doing it monthly vs. weekly.
Are you wearing the same outfit in your "weight loss" pics? What are you wearing? I've worn different things in pics so far but am thinking about wearing my workout leggings that go down to my knees and a tank top or short t-shirt so my body shape shows better. I'm more of a long-t-shirt, capris wearing gal, so you can't see my body shape. Well....you see it's big,,,but you don't see the lumps and stuff!
Topic: RE: Want ideas for WLS Scrapbook
I only had photos taken of my shoulders and up pre-op, now I want full body shots so I can compare! LOL I plan to definitely do a WLS Scrapbook.
I plan to have a standard BEFORE picture on each LEFT page and various AFTER pictures on each right page so you don't have to flip back and forth for comparisons.
I also plan to put my weight log in there, as well as some daily menus that I ate post-op. Put some fancy borders around it, use fun markers and shapes, etc. to make it lively.

Hi Marie,
I have not yet had the surgery but am already planning an 8x8" scrapbook. What I am planning to do is to make the page to the right show a "before" photo and the left will be the "after". I picked pictures out showing different things I did - sometimes it wasn't real easy with the before. Who among us wanted pictures taken? What I am trying to do is compare and contrast the best I can.
I have also thought of making the "before" photo behind the "after". I will use the accordion style pullout to hide the "before" so I look at it only when I really need a reminder of why I am doing this.
Let me know what you decide to do. Good luck.
Cheryl
Topic: Want ideas for WLS Scrapbook
I am new to this site, found it by accident. I'd like to know what kind of marvelous ideas you have come up with for scrapbooking your weightloss journey. I will be working on mine. I go in for surgery tomorrow and so I have lots of pictures yet to come!
Thanks
Marie
