[QUOTE="C.J., post: 74891, member: 1987"] I do both. I work on cards when I'm having difficulties with N*, and when she and I are getting along well, I can work on her scrapbook. Basic supplies for either: Good adhesive (not a glue stick), a paper cutter for straight lines, and an idea book. For cards, to get started inexpensively, it's probably a good idea to get a black ink pad, some versatile word stamps (thank you, thinking of you, happy birthday), a set of floral/nature stamps and some watercolor pencils. Stamp the floral or nature stamp on the cardstock, fill in the color with the watercolor pencils, use a wet paintbrush, and blend the colors. Voila! Homemade card. Take a look at: [url="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com"]http://www.splitcoaststampers.com[/url] for some great ideas and "how to" instructions. For scrapbooks, you can use some of the same supplies you have for cards. Include some stickers for activities that your family enjoys (and that you have photos for). Many "Creative Memories" demonstrators hold a crop for their customers and friends. Good way to get some ideas and learn new techniques. Try the dollar stores for bargains for card stock and background paper. Many fabric stores now also sell scrapbook supplies and rubber stamps. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
