I have a ton of pictures that need to be scrapped quickly…this would be great!
I would love to win!
I want to scrap my kids’ babyhoods and they are 13 and 18 now, so that’s a lot!
My goal is to get all my son’s 2012 photos scrapped. The challenge is, it takes so long, and I don’t have the time, I get discouraged and I give up.
My biggest challenge is just getting started. I have a toddler and not a lot of time to craft these days
I have a goal of finally finishing up 2010 and 2011 pages!
I love to look at all the fancy/fussy scrapbook pages that are on all the websites but I can’t get into that myself. I like to do the basics, dress it up a little, and call it a day. This sounds like it might be the book for me. I need to finish the book on my trip to Africa this summer.
My biggest challenge usually is how to make pages that are similar throughout the whole album, but yet are different to suit each different picture.
I plan to make an album for each set of grandparents so that I can make individual pages for them instead of giving them stacks of photos that sometimes just end up in boxes! Thanks for the chance to win!
My daughter is now 3 and I’m so behind. I want to get an album scrapped for each year before she starts school and keep it up from there. Just don’t know how to get started. It seems so overwhelming. Hopefully this issue can help me!!!! Please….
Ready to start my album of our holiday memories. Just waiting for the kids to get here:)
Sometimes I have the hardest time thinking of new and creative ways to make an album. This issue sounds perfect for getting over that creative/inspiration block. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
i need to start at least one scrapbook page about anything. i haven’t made one for such a long time, and the kinds of supplies have changed significantly.
I’d like to create an album of the annual BBQs we’ve had since 2007
I would love to start creating mini albums centered around things that I love/love to do, since I have so many pictures! And with my sisters babies (twins) coming I will definitely be trying to think to ideas to scrapbook her life with the new babies. Thanks for sharing.

Usually I simply try to make as many 12×12′s as I can. However, I want to make a Dec. Daily for this year (I have the pix but no album) and we’re off to Disney World in Jan. so that’ll definitely need some scrapping- preferably in its own 8×8 or so.
I hope I just Make Some! My photos are very sad and lonely on the hard drive…
I am so far behind in my scrapbooking, I could really use some fast and fabulous ideas!

yeeeeepie! I would love to win this sissue
I’ve made some cards but no layouts this year. Serously need fast!
I have a lot of old pictures I’m working on so fast and fresh would be great. thanks
My goal is to create my yearly family album for me. I am also making a scrapbook for a friend who has 4 beautiful children that I have come to love. Plus she wants me to make an album of the trip they took to Disney last year. Those are just the 3 big projects, so I need so tips on fast.
My goals are to start making mini albums of my grandchildren’s birthday parties.
My biggest challenge is time to scrap, but I hope to remedy that next year. Right now I am just enjoyed spending time with my family over the holidays & then jump right in to scrap all those wonderful moments. Thanks for the chance to win.
I could really use this to help me get back into scrapbooking. I’ve been making cards for so long now, I don’t know what to do with 12×12 pages!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I think my earlier post didn’t appear to go through…but I just wanted to say that I am hoping to get my 2011 family album done soon. I have been stalled at August for quite a while!
Thanks for the giveaway! I want to catch up on scrapbooking our trips.
Getting started is my biggest challenge these days, so to win this would be perfect !
Right now I’m focusing on catching up on my sons book. Then I’d like to finish my honeymoon book before my 10 year anniversary.
This issue is exactly what I need!! I’ve spent more time making cards and “must” get back to scrapbooking. As far as the issue using products that might not be available any more?? Well, don’t we all have products that we’ve hoarded (oops, I mean “saved”) that aren’t on the market anymore??? That’s another good (great) reason I want to win an a copy!!!!! Help me out, ok?!?
My scrapbooking goals are to start the year off right by keeping up with my pages monthly…the challenge will be to put aside enough time to meet my goal! Wish me luck!
Finish albums I have started! I always seem to loose steam and ideas to get the hardest pages done, which are left to the last, so I just don’t finish them. Help me please by giving this to me! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Oooh yes please, I’d love to win this issue! I’m a cardmaker and find scrapbooking really daunting, so it would be great to have some starter tips!
my goal is to try and keep current wiht my new babys album, Im already behind, but hope to be caught up and stay current by Feb. Thanks for the chance to win.
My goal is to scrap lots of older photos before there is no one left who knows anything about them AND to tell my childhood stories (at least some of them)
I haven’t scrapbooked in a couple of years but my goal this year is to definitely get back in to it.
I am working on some vacation books this year! thank you!
Oh this is fabulous!!! I have so many pages that still need to be done! Thanks for the chance!
I have 2 1/2 years of Cub Scouts to scrapbook for 13 boys! I could use some tips to make things easy.
I started scrapping my boys pictures when they were little . I need to get busy . I have tons of pictures . It’s hard to stay focused …..
Thanks for a chance .
I have lots of challenges but not many goals – that may be my problem
I have 4 different styles of scrapbooks, 4 boxes (large boxes!) of pictures and ephemera from my whole life, plus assorted photos, cards & projects in other places. I certainly could use a resource to help me get started.
I have almost 6 grandkids with one album/child/year…lots to keep up on!
My goal is to keep up on my scrapbooking instead of taking my time….
I would like to make some mini albums with special themes.
I need to redo a wedding album from 1948. The photos are 8×10 so this will be a little difficult.
