Question: I have never scrapbooked before, but would like to start the hobby. I have ordered some supplies on the internet to get me started, but I have millions of questions (what are rub-ons? design ideas? how to make holes? use eyelets? etc.). Is there somewhere I can go to define these scrapbooking terms and give me answers to these “stupid” beginner questions?
Answer: You have come to the right place! Along with the Ask Robin portion of our website (some of your questions will be answered here in my article, “Getting Back to the Basics“) and our search engine of scrapbooking supplies, I have compiled a list below of good places to go for beginners:
Scrapbooking Terms (lexicon): http://www.scrapdirectory.co.uk/scrapbook-pages-glossary.htm
Basics of Scrapbooking:
- Scrapbook Basics (Creating Keepsakes) - How to examples and more!
- Basic Scrapbooking 102: Supplies (ScrapJazz)
- Scrapbooking 101: The Basics (DIY Network) - From supplies to design principles.
- Scrap Friends: Beginner Techniques - How to set an eyelet, tear paper, doodle, colorblock, use chalk, etc.
Let me know if your questions aren’t answered here - and good luck with this new adventure!
