Scrapbooking Kits - Will I or Won't I?

[Earl Kelly]

Scrapbooking Kits are ideal for the new scrapbooker. There are real
basic types that let you get your feet wet whilst learning the basics.
With all the options available, it would be easy for a newcomer to get
confused about the many aspects of scrapbooking.
Using Scrapbooking kits allows you to gain confidence in craft and
developing the necessary skills to become somewhat of an expert. One
avenue in the future could be to become a scrapbook consultant whereas
people hire you to do their layouts etc. The kits are ideal for
someone who has had an interest in scrapbooking for years but found
time was not in their favor. Children can also start their
scrapbooking careers with a kit. It will encourage their imagination
to run wild with respect to themes, layouts, embellishments and more.
Keep in mind that Scrapbooking kits are basic. With repeated use you
could master this standard of scrapbooking in a few short months. This
would then require you to advance to more appropriate levels of
scrapbooking. That is where cost starts coming into it.
Your basic scrapbooking kit should contain the following to allow the
basics of the craft to be met.
1. Album
2. Papers
3. Stickers
4. Stencils
5. Hole Punch
6. Photos
7. Scissors
This list could go on but you have a good start up list there.
Remember, your budget will dictate your stock level. Your local
stockist will have all you require to set the scrapbooking world on
fire.
One last piece of advice. Please stay within your budget when
selecting materials. Like a kid in a lolly shop, your scrapbooking
haul could be huge by the time you walk out. Scrapbook to your hearts
content.
