Hi Jaimee, I don't know if you know how to paper piece by using a coloring book page but it's a great (free!) way to make virtually anything you might want in your scrapbook. There is a great coloring page search engine at www.ivyjoy.com Let me know if you need instructions on paper piecing from a coloring page. Eileen

Do any of you know of a good place to get books on paper piecing? I looked at the library and couldn't find a thing. I am trying to make a whole bunch of cute paper-pieced items to put in a scrapbook kit I plan to donate to an auction. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me any web page links you have. Have a good day. ~~Jaimee

Mj, Glad you liked the sites! I love to organize which CAN be a downfall, since after im done organizing, a few weeks later, I feel like I need to RE-organize! LOL Anyway good luck with your room! Hey Susan! Ya know, I had gotten the offer to become a consultant Many Many years ago, and like you, I too didn't want to be limited to ONLY CM products. (Quite Frankly, I thought they were booorrring!!!!) LOL BUT....things have changed a bit over the years, and you ARE able to use other products in your albums that you take to shows, crops or use for display, just not allowed to sell them. Which would be hard unless you were signed up with another Scrapping Company that did home shows. Trust me....I have got almost all the goods out there in the scrap market today...not just CM! However, I discovered the quality that CM has after making a few albums that were not CM and finding them warping, or the tools breaking! Quality is key if it is going to last a lifetime! Currently, I am doing primarily CM type albums with added touches of whimsy.....got to dr. them up a bit, but I also am doing a few non-CM books like the one for my bf who is in the Nat'l Guard. CM just doesn't have enough military product to support a whole album so I guess it takes me outside the box you could say! LOL Glad to see another Wisconsinite here! ;) Debby

Thanks Debby! There were a lot of sites there to look at. Gave me some good ideas. I am just started out scrapping so I am excited. MJ

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of their scrapbook room or any good ideas of what a person should buy for shelving or a layout for a scrapbook room. My kids are getting too old to have a toy room, so I cleaned it out and am going to make a scrapbook room out of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks mj
