    How many scrapbooker bees are out there?  Have you started a scrapbook for your wedding (or planning)?  I love scrapbooking but I feel so overwhelmed to start doing one for the wedding.  I have done a couple pages, here is one I did of my father/daughter dance.  I took the pictures with my iphone so the colors a little off and blurry (the picture of us is a black and white).  I dont have a scanner to scan in 12x12 scrapbook pages :(

    Post your pages if you can!

    that's what my dad and I danced to at my wedding...can I just pay you to replicate it?  hehe   I do papercrafts and have barely tried SB'ing, but I'm afraid to try on my wedding album...the pressure!

    Aww that's so pretty!  I wish I had the patience to scrapbook, but I don't :(  I really admire those who do!

    I love to scrapbook, and I'll probably be overwhelmed to start one for the wedding.  Mine probably won't be too detailed since I'll also be getting a professional photo album, but the scrapbook will have pictures from showers, bachelor/bachelorette party, rehearsal, and wedding.

    @cannontwait - sure if you dont mind a picture of me and my dad on it! :) 

    @blueshoes2 - I love it but it does take a long time and a lot of money since I buy new stuff all the time!  Before October I hadnt scrapped in over a year!  When I do go to crops with friends I usually get about 4-5 pages done in about 5 hours so it eats up most of my day!

    I'm doing a scrapbook... ugh, of every single memory I can think of b/t FI and me. It's so overwhelming, esp cause I'm not an experienced scrapbooker!!

    I made my fiance a scrapbook our last anniversary! It had pictures and items from when we first started dating to the present! Im super sentimental and I save everything! He was so suprised about all the things I saved over the years. I love them.

    @jillianleigh - I think most of my scrapbook when I do end up really starting will be the planning stuff too - bachelorette, bridal shower (which I have done a page for), etc.  and maybe only a couple pages from the actual wedding since I have the pro album too.

    Is there a website around that gives you templates? I have all these blank pages and don't know where to start...

    I bought some velluum off Ebay, thinking I could print on it and the color of the page would show through.. so it wasn't so stark white against the colors of the pages. The ink didn't dry :( There's no way I can use it.

    I think my biggest problem right now is that there's too much stuff to handwrite everything (Ok thats just me being lazy, I could totally hand write alot of it) and I don't want to use regular computer paper!

    I'm just scared of how big this project has gotten. lol

    @Nlmiele - I usually go through scrapbooking magazines and find layouts I like then make it my own with different paper, embellishments, etc.  I am not the "normal" scrapbooker as I dont do any journaling on my pages.  Most every page I see in the magazines does but I dont like my handwriting that much and I just dont know what to say.  My pages are pictures, paper and embellishments (and titles or things cut with my cutter).

    Check out http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/ and http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com

    They are my fav scrapbook mags and they have great templates and ideas.  Good luck with your book!

    I love scrapbooking but I haven't even thought about scapbooking the wedding yet. First I need to go though and decide which pictures to print out. I think that's why I'm dragging my feet.

    I am a scrapbooker and I have started a wedding scrapbook that is going to have our whole wedding planning process and wedding!

    It is so much fun and I think it will be such a wonderful keepsake when it is all said and done!

    My MOH is getting married a month before me and I am her MOH and I am making her a scrapbook too! I think she will love it!
