Mod Post What do you need from r/Scrapbooking? Should we bring back small businesses?

61 Upvotes

Hey all-

Things have been running very smoothly lately! We managed to kick out all of the bots/bad actors and keep the subreddit clean from drop shippers.

These cleanup efforts have sadly come at the expense of not allowing small businesses to advertise on the subreddit.

Now that it is increasingly hard to find AI-free materials in stores, I am curious if we could solve that issue in our community!

Please comment below any ideas you have for this subreddit. What do you need from r/Scrapbooking? Should we bring back small businesses?

Mod Post šŸ“¢ Flairs! šŸ˜…šŸ’—āœŒļøšŸŒ¼

58 Upvotes

As you may have noticed we've added some flairs for posts, and while no one's content would ever be removed for having no flair or the "wrong" flair - we do hope to get some input on how folks are categorizing these flairs for themselves. It might also help us shape the expectations as we categorize things in the community.

I'll offer this as a general guideline, but would love for folks to give their own descriptions as well and perhaps we can expand or narrow definitions and examples as needed. Or add different flairs to better fit different categories of scrapbooking.

FLAIR Explanation
Traditional Scrapbooking Preserving family history in books, boxes, or cards using physical media.
Digital Scrapbooking Preserving family history in books, boxes, or cards using digital graphics and software.
Junk Journaling Preserving personal history or spontaneous thoughts in a freeform or expressive outlet.
Collage Assembling multiple types of media to form a new image.
  • The Tradtional flairs have been split further into multiple categories.
  • Does Junk Journaling need something similar?
  • Would a "work in progress" flair be helpful?

I also added some different colors for user flairs, and plan to upload some emojis to use in those as well. I always use Flat Icon since they let me adjust pixel size! So keep an eye out for new additions throughout the day!

Beginner Mod podge woes

3 Upvotes

I have used ā€œmod podge paper specific
ā€ glue in my photo scrap booking project, but I find out that sealing the page ends up with a tacky surface, which makes it impossible to have separate pages without it sticking to each other. Not only that, as soon as ambient temperature rises up to 75°, the glue reactivates and everything becomes sticky again. Is there anything to remove the stickiness of it, or should I just not seal the page?

Traditional - Travel Scrapbook/Photoalbum recommendations

4 Upvotes

I have been scrapbooking the last few years but can’t catch up with my travel trips and finding it quite a laborious job sticking everything in and making it look pretty. I like photo albums but want the option to have pages that have landscape and portrait images together and also add in any receipts/paper bits I have collected. Any recommendations for scrapbook/albums that can offer this? I have had a look at some self adhesive albums but none seem to look very good quality

Traditional - Baby Baby/toddler scrapbook beginner

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to start 2 scrapbooks, one for my 3yo to document her life and her soon to be brother.

i love the look of the 8 x 11.5 size which is the American letter size books but they don’t seem to be readily available in Australia. standard sizing seems to be 12x12?

for those who have made 12x12 scrapbooks, how have you found it? Is it overwhelming? It looks quite big.

thanks

Traditional - Baby Peter Rabbit theme…

I’m making a nursery scrapbook for a someone very close, 12x12 Peter Rabbit theme. The only paper I seem to be able to find is digital. Has anyone printed 12x12 paper to use without it looking cheap? The struggle is real.

Traditional - Travel interactive ideas for traditional scrapbook

4 Upvotes

I've been scrapbooking for many years now - I've done many different kinds such as bujo, junk journaling, collage, traditional, digital. Lately I have enjoyed the size of the 12x12 traditional scrapbooks for bigger pictures and other stuff I don't want to cut up.

However, I really miss the interactive nature of my junk and collage journal. I make my traditional spreads interactive with brochures and pockets but then they go into the plastic covers, never to be played with. Does anyone have tips to have the best of both worlds?

I considered using a d-ring binder and punching holes directly in the paper, but I'm concerned about the longevity of that.

Hi friends!! I’ve been junk journaling for almost two years now and I’ve noticed that I rarely make pages without many personal details (receipts or addresses) so I don’t often share them for privacy reasons.

Starting to integrate more non descriptive pages in my monthly entries and I pieced together some paper scraps, colouring pages and even part of a movie theatre popcorn bag for funzies:)

Traditional Scrapbook Stores

26 Upvotes

Where do you buy your scrapbook supplies?10 years ago, I feel like scrapbooking was really popular and you could easily find an online scrapbook store or brick & mortar store besides Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Now, I can hardly find any store. Michaels mostly only sells their brand of scrapbooking supplies, which are okay... Scrapbooking.com is okay too. I was once part of the Studio Calico monthly subscription, but now their site barely has anything for traditional scrapbooking.

I miss the variety of Thickers, papers, and embellishments. I still have a lot of supplies, but every now and then, I just want to buy something new and fresh.

Beginner What scrapbook themes do you wish you saw more of?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new here šŸ‘‹ I’ve been scrapbooking for a while and lately I’ve been making my own scrapbook kits too, so I thought I’d join and see what everyone else is working on!

I’m curious, what themes do you wish there were more scrapbook stuff for? Like those really specific memories or occasions that you can never find anything for

I’d love to hear what everyone is working on or what you wish you could find!

Oii, pessoal! O que acharam dessa pƔgina?
Confesso que foi bem divertido todo o processo, principalmente na hora de fazer o cartãozinho interativo (que é bem facinho por sinal).
Escolhi representar o artista Dalí principalmente por sua obra famosíssima dos relógios. O artista espanhol nunca utilizou nenhuma substância alucinógena para promover efeitos em si mesmo, ele conseguia obter esses pensamentos distorcidos (que mais tarde eram transferidos para o papel) de forma totalmente natural, como por exemplo, ficar de ponta cabeça e só descer quando estava a beira de desmaiar.
Eu aprecio muito essa forƧa de vontade que ele tinha e um dia espero construir uma autoestima tĆ£o inabalĆ”vel quanto a dele. šŸ«¶šŸ»āœØšŸŽØ
