Scrappin For Fun

I have asked this before and I don’t think I am being too specific, so I apologize for that. I’m an 18 year old male, I currently play the sax, am learning french, don’t like getting dirty, love animals, don’t have a car so limits on transportation, I work full time so not too much time, but a few hours a day, just moved to Cali after graduating high school and don’t have much friends out here, I love learning, but hate collecting and scrapbooking, so those are out. Any Ideas?

Whenever you get to college, join clubs.
Go to the gym for now.
Or go volunteer at an animal clinic.
Looks good for college, though it may be a little late for that.

im doing a scrapbook for my latest holiday i have just been on (london paris ireland paris and singapore) but as i am a beginner scrapbooker i am a bit low on ideas! i want to make it as intresting as possible..so if anyone has any ideas that wuld be great! i would like to make it colourful and fun- because thats what my holiday was all about!
i really dont know where to start either- this is my first major scrapbooking assingment and i want to make it a good one so please help me! thanks alot in advance!
have a good day!

First, think of a theme. This could be using the same colors, stamps, or shapes throughout the book. Collect all of the memorabilia you have saved from the trip (tickets, flyers, pins, stamps, photos, etc.) Collect information about the locations from the computer (maps, logos of places visited, visitor’s bureau flyers). Arrange the pages chronologically. For each location, start with journaling, which includes some facts about that area and you’re favorite memories of that area. Then show pictures of what you did in that city (this is where you add memorabilia, maps, etc.) The last page could be an overview of your trip.

A friend of mine and I are hosting a scrapbooking workshop. Considering the creativity of all those coming, I thought it might be fun to have some sort of "build your own dessert".
Sundaes won’t work well because the ingredients will be sitting out for some time.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

decorating your own cookies with frosting and sprinkles would be fun, or doing the same with cupcakes. hope this helps

So, I was thinking, and I thought it would be a fun idea to go to a local Children’s Hospital around my area (Los Angeles, probably) and do arts & crafts with some of the children patients? I’m in high school and I’m into scrapbooking and arts & craft-y kinds of things, so maybe once a week during the summer, I could go and teach the kids how to make scrapbook pages & things?

How can I get started? Who do I contact? Is this a good idea? Any input/feedback would be great!

When I was in high school I was a candy striper (we wore red/white striped apron skirts) and volunteered at the hospital. You might go through your school guidance counselor and find out if there is a volunteer group already in place from your school.
Or, just call the main hospital switchboard and tell them you are interested in volunteering during the summer in the children’s ward. Ask for the name/number of the person in charge of volunteers. Explain what you would like to do and ask if they could use someone like you. Ideally, you will want to make something very easy and quick that the kids can keep on their bedside table. Because you will have to provide all the materials to make the items you might need a sponsor of sorts. Perhaps your parents or one of their friends if they are a business owner would be able to help financially. Maybe two or three of your friends could do this together.
This is a wonderful, selfless act. Parents will definitely appreciate it and who knows…you might start a group that comes year ’round. Best of luck!

its co-ed… the girls r awesome not girly-girls (so no spa). no house parties, limo ideas, or pool party ideas (b/c it’s in january). If it’s a dance party i don’t kno how its gunna work out to be fun b/c ,my parents will be there -_______-…but i want something unique but fun and something to be remebered and i refuse to have it at the following places:

a) lazer tag
b) bowling
c) golfing ( plz no!)
d) fruit picking -__-
e) a scrapbooking party

just something fun and enjoyable 4 a teen

thnx in advance <3333

Go roller skating/blading at a rink…

Find a Holidome and Rent a room (will need parents) and go swimming, enjoy the hot tub and suana… They usually have poolside tables for you to sit at and enjoy snacks and drinks. They will let you bring your Birthday Cake….

Happy B-Day… Enjoy

What are some fun hobbies? I would like to have a pretty exhaustive list so that when I am bored I can just pick something up. Some of the ideas I have so far are:

Writing Short Stories
Drawing Manga
Origami
scrapbooking
Photography
Photoshopping Pictures
Building Websites

Any others? Preferably not on the computer/TV but if they are really good ideas, please add them. Thanks!

well there are a lot of hobbies; always choose the one you like to do. here are some ideas.

Bead a necklace, bracelet, anklet, etc.
Crochet, embroider, knit, sew
sketch
play your favorite sport
play a board game
make up a game
if you have a guitar that you know/may not know play it or learn how to
sing and dance around your room
make a snowfort outside
go to the YMCA
shop
bake cookies
read a book or magazine

you dont have to do all these things yourself. why dont invite some friends over to do them with you. possibly start a band or something.

well i hope this helps.

I started scrapbooking in Feb. and am now addicted! I find it very relaxing and fun to do. Anyone out there like to share ideas or chat about scrapbooking? sandjdawson

Welcome to the wonderfully creative world of scrapbooking! I began to scrapbook 8 years ago when I was still in high school. My scrapbooks were proudly displayed at my graduation party and I have wonderful keepsakes of my time in high school as well as college.

I do not know what companies you are familiar with, but I was introduced to Creative Memories when I first began scrapbooking. I purchased many of the basic tools and albums from this company. There is also a company called Stampin-Up which tell scrapbook items and stamps! I just have began to purchase things from this company! I am quickly becoming addicted! When scrapbooking, I highly reccommend using acid and lignin free products. It will help your photos from turning yellow years down the road. I also suggest using plastic page protectors to cover your scrapbook pages so your photos won’t get smudged through the years. You can purchase scrapbook items at Wal-Mart, Michaels craftstore, Jo-Ann Fabrics and of course any of your local scrapbook stores. I would check out www.stickerplanet.com. They have any kind of sticker you can imagine plus scrapbooking items such as paper and adhesives.

Please feel free to contact me! I love scrapbooking and would like to share tips and ideas!

Hey everyone
I am turning 14 Soon so i am planning my birthday party, i was thinking about doing a scrap booking birthday party
I was thinking about havin ppl over in the afternoon and like hanging out going in the pool (i live in FL so its always warm) and just foolin off and have disposable cameras 4 everyone and have then take pics and then we go out to eat and get the cameras developed and then wen we get back have every one scrapbook the pics, and then we watch a movie and sleepover !!
does that sound like a fun idea?
any more things that we could do while hanging out at my house?
any more activities or ideas?
Please help me !!
thank you soo much
xoxoxo
Oh and i also want to ask , what should the invatations look like , i can make them but i dont know how they should look any ideas??

Um lulzy , that comment was rude and uncalled for , it seems to me you are just a 12 yr old desperate for friends!

Wow, I would love it if my daughter decided to have a scrapbooking party since I’m a scrapbooker!

It’ll probably take a couple of hours at least for you all to organize and scrapbook, so you should allow the time. Also, you’ll need to have supplies, so I’m not sure if you’re going to provide the paper, scissors, pens, and albums, or if they are expect to bring all that… if so, they might not have the supplies already if they don’t scrapbook. Just something to think about.

I can scrap for many hours, but I don’t see my daughter’s friends having the attention span and don’t know about your friends… maybe give them 2 hours, then do something else, and then return to finish the album?

If they all have digital cameras, then maybe they can bring them instead of using digital because photos from those cameras don’t always turn out good, and they are expensive to develop from what I can remember.

So far I’ve only given you things to think about… regarding the invitations, maybe you can make it look like a typical scrapbook page… a photo of you (or if you have a photo of exactly the people you’re inviting) on the side, with writing around it, but giving the details about what they’ll be doing.

Have lots of fun! And happy birthday!

for christmas i made my boyfriend a scrapbook of us over the past year and a half we had been together but i realized it was really fun and after i gave it to him started making a scrapbook of my own but i dont have many ideas for it seeing as ive already used most of them. does anyone know any sites that have layouts and ideas for scrapbooking for teenaged girls? not ones for parents to do of their kids but for teenegares to do theirselves

Let your photos and memorabilla tell the story.
simple ideas, like color to match the color in pictures, or set them off, and words to tell the story that goes with them work the best.

Make sure if you are going to the trouble to do the work, you use photo safe products… any layout you see, you can adjust to your pictures, using the style you see, like 3 pictures across lined up, and a circle with a title and text box, and make it fit the photos you have.
check out my website for other layout ideas.& feel free to email me if you want other ideas… i can send you some info…

and have fun with what you are doing!
