Welcome to the Scrapbook Outlet's Blog

When I am at a loss for new ideas for my scrapbooking or cardmaking, I turn to the internet.  There are countless sites and blogs, like this one, that are chock full of ideas when you have 'scrapper's block.'

The goal of this blog is to give tips and share our knowledge and tricks of the trade with our fellow scrappers.   We will also have cardmaking techniques, altered items, and more featured on here as well.  I'm a firm believer that cardmaking and scrapbooking go hand in hand so techniques learned in one format can be used in the other.  Pictures, videos, and sketches will be featured as well as tips from our teachers. And of course, the Scrapbook Outlet's Design Team will be featured here, with their monthly projects and tips.  We'll also link you to some of our faves and who we get our inspiration from.  And feel free to comment and ask questions.  We'd love to hear your feedback!!

So hang onto your glue sticks and sharpen your scissors for some inspiration, ideas, and fun! 

Happy New Year from all of us here at the Scrapbook Outlet!!
