Scrapbook vs Facebook

There are many ways one can get inspiration for scrapbooking, www.scrapbook.com is one of the best places in my opinion. There is so much you can do on this site. First and foremost you can buy A LOT of scrapbooking supplies, which as we all know by now, I love to do. They have every scrapbook brand that exists. My favorites are Anna Griffen, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, and Graphic 45 just to name a few.
Many of you are thinking about those piles of pictures you have laying around that house and wondering whether you should try this. My advice is to go to scrapbook.com and click on Gallery, then click on layouts, here you can see thousands of talented scrapbook artists who have uploaded their work. Many of times these people have linked the supplies they used underneath the layout so all you have to do is click on it and you can buy it right away. Or you can just ask me to do it for you, lol.
Its kinda embarrassing but I will admit it, I'm a facebook junkie & stalker, I don't know what it is about looking at this site but I'm addicted. Who's with me? raise your hand. It's like having a peak into someone else life, who you are barely friends with, kinda bazaar, but atleast I'm saving money on US weekly & Star magazines.
This disease has even reached the scrapbooking community with scrapbook.com. I get to work, sit at my computer and go to this site. Here you can also have a profile, friends, and a gallery where you upload your work. Your friends & neighbors can make comments about your work and it becomes sick and addictive to see what they say, its like you want to post layouts everyday if you can. As you can all see I'm getting a lot of work done lately, lol.
I want to get back to my wedding scrapbook which I am almost done with, thank g-d. I am ready to start working on layouts for other events in my life.

I love how I included the wedding invitation on this layout. Also I put the date on the very bottom, great touch. I love this photo. We took about 45min on our wedding day to go off with the photographer and take pictures. This is taken in Grand Central across from Cipriani's. It was so much fun taking pictures here. Strangers were crowding around us watching, thinking that we were shooting for a magazine and they were taking pictures themselves, it was hilarious.

These are photos of me getting ready on the big day. The title work says "never been more ready". And that is exactly how I felt that day. The papers I used were from www.mycreativescrapbook.com the oct & nov kits that I received. I also used a doily which is something you can buy at any craft store or sometime even at a supermarket. They are great for backgrounds.

This photo is clearly our ceremony, I put a little chuppah above us, thought that was so cute.
This is the first stitch work that i ever did. I sewed up the top corner by hand, think it came out pretty cool. I used these jenni bowlin date cards and circled May 16th, very cute detail.
Just needed to update everyone, I heard a Michaels craft store opened up in the City on 97th & Columbus, I can't wait to go!! Let me know if you want to go on a field trip :)
