The Retweetables: 10 Tweets & "The Scrapbooking Song"

Each week I do a little #Retweetable post about the crafty tweets I like on Twitter. Thinking about Twitter, I wondered if there was a Twitter song and YES, there are many. Then thinking about Twitter songs, I wondered if there was a scrapbooking song and YES, there are a few. Here's a REALLY funny one I found on Youtube:

The Retweetables: Just for scrapbookers

Scrapbooker. Memory Keeper. Family Historian. Do these labels mean something to you? I hope so, or you are definitely in the wrong place. And if you like using photographs and paper (real or virtual), then you must be "snap happy" like my daughter was in the above scrapbook layout (the trees are made from DCWV recycled paper). If this is your first time here, welcome to Scrappin' Memories 4U!

Scrapbookers have a way of being friendly and encouraging. They are a group of people that love to create and document life. I am proud to be a member of this wonderful group and I'm sure you are too. When I signed-up for Twitter last year, I really got a chance to see the vast array of talented men and women who love to scrap. Every single day, my Twitter friends inspire me in so many different ways and I like to keep some of their tweets safe and accessible, the reason why I started my weekly #Retweetable post. I gather together the tweets that interest me, weed out the duds and then "Retweet" them here, thus, they are #Retweetable. (I may or may not have started the retweetable hashtag, but I sure like to think I did.)

The Retweetables are a collaboration of scrapbooking and craft-related tweeters (tweeps, twitterers, tweeple, do you have a favorite one?) that tweet good stuff.

Drum roll please...

The Retweetables: A recap and farewell (don't worry, The Retweetables are back) 

The Retweetables: A #retweetable recap

Welcome to the Scrappin' Memories 4U Blog!

Here I am! Starting my very first blog about scrapbooking and actually, my very first blog, period. My scrapbook journey has been a long one, so how did I start scrapbooking?

When I was around four-years-old, my first scrapbook appeared in front of me, a blank canvas given to me by my mother who saw a creative spark. I filled it with the pictures I cut out of magazines and store sale ads. There were pages and pages of babies, babies with their mommies, bunnies, Easter candy, bunnies with Easter candy (obviously it was around the time of Easter, which often falls near my April birthday).

Then I moved onto making scrapbooks of various keepsakes like movie tickets and celebrity autographs. Once I reached middle school and had an abundance of cheerleading pictures (Go Streetsboro Rockets!) I truely discovered my love of mixing photos with paper, creating handmade embellishments, and even pop-up pages...and I had a lot of fun scrapbooking with a my best friend too (Hi Polly!). My scrapbooking hobby continued throughout my high school and college years (Go Toledo Rockets!) and helped me to design eye-pleasing layouts for newspapers and newsletters.

Once I was married and had my first child, I became the crazy lady with the camera, constantly taking photos of my beautiful baby girl. Then I received the phone call that changed my scrapbooking life. Read more about that call and my first crop party here. Now I was the crazy scrapbook lady with the camera, constantly scrappin' photos of my daughter.

In 2007, I launched Scrappin' Memories 4U, my scrapbook design business and started making scrapbooks for people who don't have time to do it themselves. I also became a Memory Works Consultant so I could have access to great scrapbooking products. Then I took a long scrapbook break to have another beautiful baby girl in 2008. Today, I'm back in the swing of things--scrappin', picture-taking, writing and blogging about scrapbooking.
