Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love everything you have done for this wonderful hobbie. I am a better scrapbooker because of you! I will miss your viedos. Do not take to long to do another one. Anyway I have two questions. First I was wondering which type of paper cutter you use.I am in the market for a real good one, just wanted to know which one you liked the best. Also I know it is not SB related but where do you get most of your jewlery. They are all so pretty. Thanks again.

Hey Becky! Thanks for the info on your digital camera. I have been hauling around my Nikon D50...since I just had to have it first, but I really need a good take-along. My only question that I didn't find an answer for was how long of video clips can it take? It only said it had movie capabilities, but not how long. Thanks!

Thanks for the info about the type of album you use. Is there a reason you use 3-ring? What kind of sheet protectors do you use? It's been fun hearing from you these past 12 days!

I can answer the trimmer question above - you use a Genesis, right? Self-sharpening. Usually there's a wait list for them and they're expensive but worth it.

Okay, Becky, THANK YOU for sharing the list. That's kind of a big part of your system that I feel like has been overlooked somehow. I've seen you mention the post-it notes/empty page protectors before but knowing there's a list makes it work better in my head. I used to do a list just like that when I first started scrapping and now I'm wondering why did I stop???

So for when you get ready to talk about the list, here are my questions...
- Do you put layout ideas there that you want to do and haven't taken pics for yet or are these page topics all about what your pictures demand? In other words, if you have a great idea for a page -- do you add it to the list? Or is there only for ones that you have taken pics for and know for sure that you'll be doing soon? The reason I ask is because if I put down every thing I ever think of doing a layout for on my list, it gets really long! (I have a list like that btw and it's LONG.)

- Is the list in chronological order? Then when you scrap, do you just choose something off the list?

Can't wait to hear more!

Enjoying the video clips. 8.5 minutes is NOT to long, over 10 would be. Would enjoy hearing about your system and would really love a tour of your scrap room, I have noticed bits and bits on your blog.

Waiting on my card kit...hopefully it can cross the border, to Canada, without to much of a delay. If not I'll be ready for next Xmas ;) Until I read your blog I had no idea that the USA did not have Nanamio bars, you poor people. mmmmm Nanamio bars.

hi becky, random question...

approx how much do you spend on scrapbooking products each month?? or do you receive complimentary products from companies so you can use/promote it in the magazine??

hopefully its not too personal, but perhaps i can justify my spending to my husband. :o)

you're the best. if you are ever in the DC area, let's meet for coffee.

Hi Becky! I sure have enjoyed the videos and all that you shared with us. I do have a question about your albums....I know, another one! LOL! I know you have a family one and one each for Porter and Claire. When scrapping say Pumpkin Patch pictures do you do 3 lo's? Since my son was born (15 months old) I haven't added anything to our family albums...the focus seems to be him and I was curious how you do it.

You are such an inspiration! I have truly enjoyed all of the videos and the glimpse into your scrapbooking world. Your organization is great to see. Thanks for all of the ideas that I have come away with during these 12 Days of Christmas.

you are so adorable! I laughed outloud when Porter appeared and you said he wanted to have center stage. I have so enjoyed your videos. I really like the idea of a list of pages to scrap. I have piles of pictures waiting to get into a layout, but a list would be so much easier.

I can't wait to start on my cards. Thanks for all the tips. I can't WAIT to see the school kit coming up sometime next year! That is definitely on my 'must buy' list!

Thanks, Becky for all your tips. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas. :)

I can't wait to see the answers to all these great questions!

Here's another one to add to your list. Where do you get 3x5 prints printed? Most online places I see have the smallest at 4x6.

THanks again for all your hard work - the kit is awesome!

Here's a question for you. What do you do with all of your albums you scrapped in 8-1/2" x 11"? Do you have those stored in a different place? What do you do when you run out of storage places for albums?

These videos and tips the last few days have been awesome! I am really enjoying hearing about your process because it makes so much sense to me and how my mind works. I am definitaly going to set up a layout To-Do list!

Looking forward to further videos, tips, techniques, recipes and more!

GREAT JOB!

Hi Becky...I have just a quick question. I own the Pebbles Scrapbooks like the ones you used to use. I am having a terrible time figuring out an easy way to make the label for the spine. Could you give me any insight? I would appreciate it so much. Thank you.

Will miss seeing you everyday. The videos were fun!

quick question about the christmas cards: I've put them all together and noticed there are brads showing through on both sides of the card (inside and back). Any recommendations for how to cover those up? Thanks! Thanks also for taking the time to do the videos. That was so fun to watch!

Hi Becky!
Thanks for all you've done. I had a quick question about the layouts you're planning to scrap. Since you have an idea of where they live in the album, do you store those pictures and artifacts in the page protectors?

I have been keeping my photos in one place and my artifacts (like programs, reciepts, handbills, etc.) in a file folder, and the system isn't really working@

Thanks for everything you do!

I also NEED to know about the necklaces....

Could you please go into you 'master list' info ASAP. I would love to see you start at the beginning of your process. Like starting with storing photos/memorabilia, when you incorporate the 'list', down to when you scrap it.

thanks

Loved the videos - very helpful. Just a quick question though. I just finished putting together my christmas card kit - my husband was amazed at how fast I did it. You recommended 3x5 pictures. Do you know anyone online or photo developing stores that will develop a 3x5? Or do you just crop them all yourself?

I loved the videos too! I came in a little late and just had to go back and watch them all. They were fun!
I cant wait to see the list you have of the pages you are going to do. I think I need something like this! :)

Becky,

thank you for sharing your scrapbook system with us. Especially during such a busy time of the year.

I too have a master page list. It is a much easier way to keep track of all the layouts that I want to do. I am always adding to it. I would very much like to compare our list. I am sure that there are some that I could add to mine. Please post your link to the file when you have a chance.

Thank you for your time and energy,
LisaG
