Kelly Purkey

I remember the day I discovered my Grandmother’s scrapbooks and was so delighted to have this glimpse into her life. It all became clear exactly why I take so many photos, save each piece of paper, and try to record every aspect of my life as a young single girl. I am lucky to currently live in New York City, where there is inspiration around every corner. Besides scrapbooking I love traveling, curling up with a good book, laughing with friends, and cupcakes with lots of icing.  I’m honored to be designing for American Crafts and Fiskars, as well as being part of the 2008-2009 Creating Keepsakes Dream Team and a Garden Girl at 2ps.

Scrapathon: Preparing your supplies

The supplies you will need to complete all of the layouts will vary depending on your theme (or lack of a theme) and your particular preferences and style. We don’t expect you to copy the layouts completely, but adjust them as you go to suit your photos and memories.

Things to consider:

  • Bazzill Cardstock – the great scrapping staple. You’re bound to have lots of this around in all sorts of colours. I find it’s easiest to just keep my big box of Bazzill next to me, then I can just pick a colour up as I’m working. Some people like a mix of colours, if you’re working on a theme album and want to use the same colours throughout the album, just stock up on those colours. For those of you that only scrap on Black, White, and Kraft, I’m sure you’ll be able to work with that too.
  • Patterned Paper – For those of  you working on a theme album, you might want to collect papers together that suit your theme, they might be the same colours, or the same type of designs. You might want to use a collection pack from one manufacturer, or just sort out a selection of papers that you just want to use, old or new, just put a pile of papers on one side of your desk to use as you go along.
  • Embellishments – We all have favourite, or not so favourite embellishments, if flowers are your thing, grab a bowl and put a selection of your stash in it, pop it on your desk, and you can just dip into it as you scrap. You can do the same for anything else you like to use, ribbons, beads etc… Hunt out those boxes full of brads and eyelets, and put them somewhere you can grab them easily, you don’t want to spend time searching for things. If your album has a theme, collect all your embellishments for that theme together, your theme might be weddings, so anything heart shaped, chipboard shapes, felt, buttons, brads etc, or you might have chosen a colour theme, so grab all your embellishments in that colour.

When you’ve got it all together, this is your work kit. Hopefully, everything you want will be to hand, and if you’ve missed something, you can always grab it later…no stress…Don’t worry too much now about if you’ll use it or not. If you thing you might, put it in. It’s much easier to put it back next week, than to try and find it in the middle of a layout!

Sharing – You can share your Scrapathon project(s) with us at Flickr. We have a Scrapathon group set up that you can just add your photos to for us all to see.
