Are you enjoying seeing all the wonderful giveaways going on so far during the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway? With so many blogs giving away so much it’s hard not to get excited. Just don’t too excited and forget to enter as many contests as you can. They will be going on all week and all the winners will be announced this Friday.
I had a bit of a hard time trying to decide what to give away. I figured shipping would be too high to mail off my kids, though I would get the chance to meet the winner in person when they showed up on my doorstep at 3 in the morning to return the prize that does not sleep. Unless you enjoy staying up all night, in which case let me know and we can work something out.
Then I thought about giving away a book, but I couldn’t decide what. I even dug through the closet and pulled out a box with 9 old party favors from my first son’s baby shower. Tiny porcelain dolls with small candles. (Hey, those could be the booby prize.) After too much thinking I decided to sit back and do some scrapbooking to relax. Then I had it! My scrapbook junkie ways have given me a huge case of stuff. So why not clear some room by giving it away!
So here’s the giveaway. Leave me comments on why you scrapbook, or why you’d love to start. On Friday I’ll choose a winner at random and pack that person up a suprise assortment of scrappy goodness. Paper, stickers, who knows what. Trust me, I have more than enough scrapbook supplies to stock the free world. So tell me about why you scrapbook, then come back on Friday and see if you’re the winner. And hey, if you want the booby prize just add that to your comment too.

Love your blog.
I’ve been scrapbooking for about 10 years or so. I vacillate back and forth between wanting to be fru fru in my pages and trying to be more concerned with journaling and leaving a legacy. I’d love some new doo dads.
Wahoo! I would love to win the scrapbooking supplies! I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 4 years — I started when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease because the thought of losing all of my precious memories was just terrifying. I truly think that everyone should do “scrapbooking” in some form, whether it’s blogging or journal-keeping, or just writing notes next to photos in a regular album.
I am brand new to scrapbooking… just started this past year. So far I have made cards for several occasions and a few pages. It is such a fun way to capture memories!

I am collecting my materials to start scrapbooking…great prize!
I scrapbook because I’m still single & it’s therapeutic to cut up all of my old ex boyfriends pictures lol. Very funny post thanks for the laugh
I scrapbook to leave a legacy for my kids! I was the third child in my family and pictures of me are few and far between. So I kind of go the reverse! My poor kids! They have learned to grit their teeth and “pose” for their scrapbooking mom!
I have “life” books for each of them and “school” books for each of them. And we have a “family vacation” album. I wish I could spend more time on it! Sorry this post is so long…. a passion!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve been scrapbooking for…. almost 7 years now. I started with my wedding (and sometimes itch to redo it!), and have been trying to keep up with family albums now. I’m up to the birth of my 2nd child. Too bad he was born in 2005! (but I have just finished his baby book!)
I started scrapbooking last October when we went to a dude ranch. My scrapbook cover looks like it is made out of lots of fabric scraps sewn together and I LOVE putting stuff in it! Please pick me!

I’;ve been scrapping about a year, and I love all the supplies and fun “pretties” that go along with it. I’m a late bloomer–just started in my late forties so I have a lot to catch up on. (I have to scrap pictures of eleven kids, numerous pets, and the evolution of my garden!)
Now I’ve started rubber stamping and cardmaking. So much fun to cram into so little time!
I’d love to win your giveaway. Thanks for playing!
I love to scrapbook. It’s a great creative hobby for me and when I finish I get to see the awesome look on my kids faces as they look through the albums!!
My daughter recently started scrapbooking and would love this and me for giving it to her. Count me in.
I’m not kidding when I say I’m pulling out my scrapbooking things for my kids to use for the first time today! This is great timing
I’m also brand new to scrapbooking. I just do it for fun. I made one for my husband, and I’m making one for me, right now. It’s relaxing.
I might like to scrapbook in the future, but I am entering to try and win them for my sister( a scrapbook junkie)
I scrapbook not only to preserve memories for my family, but it is my relaxing, creative outlet.
I would love to win this!
I scrapbook because I want my children to remember where they came from and how much they are loved. It is a creative and tangible way of preserving my family’s memories!
I would love to win! Please count me in! :o)
Scrapbook supplies! Can’t get enough of those! I’ve been scrapbooking for 3 years, and love every minute of it!
I’m just starting into scrapbooking and could use all the help I can get.
I have a small cache of scrapbooking supplies, and a backlog of photos. I have 3 boys, and not enough time. But as the boys get older, I find I an able to get back to it. A few new stickers always gets me excited, so I would love to win!
I am just starting to scrapbook. My sister is the scrapbook junkie in my home. But getting supplies to start is the trick. I am entering all the contests for scrapbook stuff. Cool. Thanks.
I have to say I don’t scrapbook in the traditional sense. I usually buy supplies to make my own cards–does that still count? =)
O.K., the more acceptable answer would probably be that I do it for my kids, to be sure to pass on all the wonderful stories of their childhoods and whatnot. And there really is a lot of truth in that. But, to be perfectly honest, I do it for me. Because it’s fun. It’s my escape from the perpetual craziness. It’s relaxing. It’s “mine”.
I love to scrapbook because it gives me some free time from my 4 and 1 year old. Plus, when they are older they will get to enjoy every book that I have made for them! Great giveaway!
I love scrapbooking. I like it because it’s relaxing to me and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Plus looking at the pages with my kids makes me proud and I know that someday they’ll have a piece of me that lasts forever.
I don’t really scrapbook (I sometimes decorate photo albums a bit, but I don’t like to add too much because I want people to focus on the photos), but I do like using scrapbook supplies to make cards and little gift books because it’s fun and a bit more personal than buying a mass-produced card.
Wow, was that ever a run-on sentence!
I scrapbook because I want my children to have something that shows how much I loved them. My own relationship with my mother is very strained. She had a high powered job and was rarely there. Any pictures of us as kids are brown and faded and stashed in a box in a leaky shed, which gives some insight into how she feels about her kids. I want my children to be able to look back on happy memories and feel loved that I took the time to preserve those memories - both happy and sad - and in the meantime it’s a great hobby that I can share with them now as well, even if they just make collages with my scraps, it’s another memory in the making!
I am an avid scrapper, it is a worthwhile craft, I wish my great grandmother had been a scrapper! Hopefully one day my great grandchildren will love them.
blessings,
Niki
oh cool.
I love to scrapbook because it is so relaxing and it gets my pictures all together in one place. Plus they are so much fun to look at after they are finished (well, are they ever really finished
). Please enter me in your contest. Thanks, Amy
Great give away!
I scrapbook because it allows me to play with paper, words, and pictures, not to mention paste.
I’m not great at it but that’s not really the point, is it?
I just started scrapbooking when my son was born a year ago. I want them to each have a book full of memories!
I’ve been scrapbooking for just a few years, but I love it. We live in France for my husband job and are now moving to Italy. It’s a great way to show our children where we’ve lived, and our family loves to look at the scrap books when we visit home and see what we’ve been doing.
I haven’t scrapbooked in 5 years….I got as far as the day that we brought our daughter home from the hospital, and now we have an 8th month old son too. I’d like to get back into it, but don’t have the money for the start up costs. I’d really like to win this!!

I’ve done one scrapbook for one son’s graduation but need to redo all my photo albums plus put photos stored in show boxes into albums. Plus I use scrapbooking techniques for cards and bookmarks. So I could use supplies!
I scrapbook to leave a legacy.
I love scrapbooking. By the looks of my supplies you would think I sell the stuff. Nope! Just love to scrapbook. My first big project was a 50th anniversary album for my parents. What a great thing to do. I had so much fun going thru all those old photos. I’m now working on albums for each of my 3 children, birth to high school graduation. Shed some tears here.
Please add me to the give away. Sounds like a lot of fun.
I just got back into my scrapbooking when I moved 600 miles away from my family and friends and the job that I loved. I needed a creative outlet and I have an adorable subject to fill my pages with, my 3 year old son Jaykeb. I want to be able to leave these books for him to look back on when he is an adult and see how much he was and is adored. I’d love some new scrap supplies to help me create our memories!
I have been scrap booking for five years. I love being able to look back at my memories.
I have been scrap booking for five years. I love being able to look back at my memories.
Would love to be entered. Thank you, Diana
Well *I* don’t scrapbook (I WANT to, but have never found the time), but my daughter does, and this would make a perfect 16th birthday present for her.
I love your humor by the way.
You could send a couple kids this way — it would probably take a few days before I realized I had some extras. 
I have been a scrapper for about 5 years (maybe longer but I can’t remember back any further).. Really I just love being crafty and recording my kids memories. Also though, I love to collect scrappy-stuff. So I would love to WIN. Thank you. Oh yeah, booby prize could be fun too!
I scrapbook because I enjoy looking over the pages and remembering the events and sharing them with others.
I love scrapping . I want to create memories for my children to pass down to their children.
Nikki
i’m hoping to have time to scrapbook soon. Only 3 years behind so far
Need more supplies to get through the backlog 
I don’t scrap, but I make cards! It’s a fun hobby to do in a group! Please enter me!
I make cards also - although I am a beginner I find it easier to work on smaller projects like that. Thanks for your giveaway!
I scrapbook because I love looking at my pictures over and over again, plus it gets me out of the house and hanging with my friends.
I have been scrapbooking ever since I met my husband. I knew he was the one and wanted to make certain all of our memories were kept nice.
I scrapbook because I believe in preserving memories with something other than boring old photo albums! It is is my fave form of self-expression!
Great contest!
Haley
I love to scrapbook for many reasons. I have always loved stickers and it allows me to continue to collect them and not look silly!! And I enjoy the creative aspect of it and I like knowing my kids will be able to look back and see memories of growing up and what we all thought at the time. I also love the time talking with others while scrapbooking. It is a great way to fellowship.
I recently started scrapbooking this weekend as a matter of fact, and found that I love it and can’t wait to get more supplies to finish what I’ve started - our Colorado vacation from 3 years ago. This would be a perfect way to keep going with what I’ve started.
What a great giveaway! My favorite thus far
Why do I scrapbook?… for my children. I waited later in life to start a family. I want them to know what it was like for them before they were old enough to remember those times. I just think it’s the best gift you can give your grown child. And it’s so fun to take pictures and then creatively make them into a scrapbook page.
You are too generous to give away some of your supplies! Thank you.
I hope I win :):):)
Blessings,
Amanda
My daughter (14) is our family scrapper. We started to help her with spelling and punctuation, but she’s got such a talent for it.
Love it. Pick me!
I scrapbook to relax and spend quality time with my daughter and two nieces. We are always looking for something new. Count me in too! Thanks!
A great prize!! I scrapbook fairly simply (although once in a while I get more adventurous) because I want to preserve our family’s stories, both for my kids and for myself.
I like scrapping, but I love to make cards even more–that’s what I would use the supplies for! You can actually see some of the cards I have made on my blog–that’s what I’m giving away!!
Thanks for including me in the giveaway!
I’m on page 9 of my daughter’s scrapbook, and just beginning my scrapbook obsession. I have such a hard time choosing which photos to use, I get stuck. And then I get overwhelmed when I see all the nifty tools that I don’t have and can’t afford. I do have a pretty good start to my tool kit (12″ paper cutter with straight and deckle edge, corner rouder, and circle cutter) and I have so much fun pulling out ribbons or brads to polish of a page.
I started scrapbooking after the birth of my son. I love it, just wish I had a little more time to enjoy it! Please count me in!
I have wanted to start scrapbooking for years… but I don’t even know where to start and what to get. I stand in the scrapbook aisle and completely shut down from overload…
Blessings,
Karla
(contest #119)
I’m a scrapper “wannabe.” I love the whole idea, but get paralyzed by where and how to begin! Please include me in this fun giveaway. Thank you.
I scrapbook to preserve memories and stories for my family.
I also scrapbook to record the heritage information we have.
I am currently learning how to scrapbook about God’s goodness to us in the middle of really nasty trials.
Thanks for entering me.
I have been scrapping for 20 years but am always giving away my scrapbooks. I have determined to make some for myself this summer. I would love to win the big prize or the booby prize.
I started scrapbooking in highschool about 20years ago. My style has changed a lot but I still love to look back at those old books. I love reliving the memories.
I started collecting scrapbooking stuff a couple of years ago but only really got to start using them after my daughter was born last year. I love to scrap about her and I am trying to back track my relationship with my husband before too much time goes by. But I love the fun things…still learning to use some of them but it is still fun to try.
Ooooh I love digiscrapping and have been for 2 yrs now, but I’d just loooove to do a little hybrid scrapping! combine to traditional with digital! I love crafty things and i love creating beautiful things with photos of my beautiful DD! Count me in please!
Enter me please! I’ve been scrapping about 9-10 years and I love everything about … the paper, the pens, everything.
I love to scrapbook because it’s an excellent way to preserve the memories! Please enter my name in your drawing.
What a great giveaway! I am extremely deliberate about leaving a legacy for my children. My mother passed away when I was only 25 and I now know how little I knew about her and her life. I scrapbook so my children will know me. So they will know how deeply I loved them and how they impacted my life. I also scrapbook that they may know Christ and the countless ways he has blessed our family.
Blessings~
I love the creativity & colors involved in scrapbooking. Count me in please.
So I realized that I could have crappy scrapbooks or really great photo albums so I chose the latter. I have pretty back grounds and lots of pictures and stories. That is why I Like it because it “simply” tells my kids about our past.
I scrapbook to preserve memories for my children. I know one day they will look back at them and hopefully see the love that I felt for them thru the scrapbooks.
I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 20 years. It’s really something to look back and see how everything has changed, and how my “talent” has improved by leaps and bounds. I started when I was single, and now with 3 kids…I want to record their lives.
My wife scrapbooks because she’s an awesome artist and loves telling our life story. She’s fantastic!

I dont scrapbook but id love to learn
I completed my first scrapbook for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary last September. I’ve now started on my son’s Eagle Scout scrapbook. I’m having so much fun that I’m going to do one for my younger son’s five year medical journey. I need more supplies!
Thanks,

Great prize. I scrapbook so that my girls will have stories of their past & their parents past.
Please enter me into the drawing! Thank you!
I have been scrapping since Dec. 2000 and I LOVE IT!! I scrap so my children as well as future generations will have a sense of who their family is.
enjoyed your blog. I don’t scrapbook nearly as much as i’d like, but when i do, it’s relaxing for me - - - so i’d love to win.
A good reason? In Indiana, at high school graduation time, we present “shrines” to the graduate at an open house; everyone expects a great scrapbook. Help.
One of the many reasons I love to scrapbook is because it is something I can do all by myself or with a group.
[…] I didn’t expect to get so many responces to my give away post yesterday. Keep on adding your comments. On Friday I’ll choose a winner and let post that […]
I love scrapbooking…I am currently working on my thrid son’s baby book but I love to do a book to recap each year, too. What a great contest!
I have been scrapbooking for 7 years. I go off and on. Right now I am more off and really need to get in the habit of a regular time each month, week to work on it. I would love to be included in your drawing.
I love to scrapbook! I started as a way to keep up with my far away (and growing so quickly) nephew and then his twin sisters. It has turned into a hobby that makes me happy, helps me connect with my friends and family and blesses those I love with gifts they really treasure. It is a great thing!
Thanks for your generous offering,
Heather

Pick me Please!
It’s a fun way to remember the road God has led us on.
I LOVE scrapbooking and have done many mini-books for friends, a K-12 school scrapbook for each of my four graduated kids, and for myself just as a way to keep up with happenings in our lives year by year. Now I’ve been asked to teach a friend how to get started…some of these free giveaway supplies would come in handy! Thanks for the chance.
I love pouring over and cherishing the memories of my family. And I love how much my kids enjoy their pages.
I haven’t done too much scrapbooking although I really need to. I still have Jesse’s baby pictures laying around the house!! I do love to use my scrapbooking supplies to make cards for friends. I send about 10 cards on average each month, so I make alot of cards!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I would love to start scrapbooking because my husband keeps telling me I should–I just haven’t started!! Now might be a good time though.
Thanks!
I have been scrapbooking for a few years now and i love it. Many reasons…creative outlet, friendships, me time but mostly because I love to record my families memories!
Great blog, count me in. I scrapbook to preserve the photos for our kids and grandkids. I like the idea of someone
100 years from now getting to know us through them.
I enjoy scrapbooking b/c it’s an outlet to get creative (esp if you have a computer job - nothing too creative there…) and since my girls were born, it’s a way for them to remember events, family and friends
Thanks for doing this giveaway!!
I’d love to start scrapbooking because it looks like so much fun! I’d love to be creative and have some place special to put all my pictures!
I’ll take the booby prize too
I love the way I can tell the stories behind the pictures and not just stick pictures on a page, but get creative with it. Kathy
I got started scrapbooking so that I could record the story of my children’s lives…both the big and the small moments.
I love to scrapbook. There is nothing better to know your creating a keepsake. Thanks for the chance!!
I’m pretty new to scrapbooking. For me, it’s a way to relive memories and be creative.
I have been scrapping for about 10 years, off and on, ofcourse as the mood strikes. It all started when I met my husband, and we have these great memory albums, complete with ticket stubs, letters, calling cards, and pictures. I plan on continueing the scrapbooks, so that I can pass them onto my children when they get older. I would love to inherit your extras to give motivation back to my scrapbookin’ habits!
Would like to start since I know so many people having babies. Boobie prize seems nice also. My e-mail address is myspamfoil@gmail.com
I don’t scrapbook yet but I would love to! Just very expensive.
Please count me in! God bless you!
I have a 4 month old baby girl and a 3 year old little boy and I am trying so hard to scrapbook a few things for them…for me, I think my scrapbooks will always let them see how much I love them.
Thank you for entering me into the contest!!
I took my nephew to Disneyworld when he was 5. He was diagnosed with Autism shortly afterwards. He still remembers the fun he had on the trip and he was so relaxed then. I have bought some stuff to scrapbook our trip and have the pics in order but I’m working up the courage to start it. It’s scary but I’m going to do it…for him and me.
I LOVE to scrapbook, mainly because I don’t want to forget a moment of my children’s lives, and to showcase all of our family’s pictures.
I scrap so that my kids will have memories to look through instead of just boxes of photos… really that’s the reason.. for my kids.
I scrapbook as a creative outlet and as a way to pass on memories to my kids and other family members.
Scrapping combines my love of art and creation with my addiction to paper and ephemera and my need to record all of our memories. I am drawn to it for those reasons.
Thanks for the chance to win this prize! I enjoy papercrafting - mainly by making cards, but I’d be challenged to start scrapbooking - I feel like I’m too far behind!
I am a slow scrapbooker, but I love it! It takes me about an hour to do each page - I have to get very detailed! I love looking at my books and sharing them with friends and family.
I scrapbook to remember… The good , the bad, and sometimes the ugly.
But mostly so my kids won’t forget what was important at least to me.
Elaine
I scrapbook because I have six children, tons of stuff to save for them and loads of photos and goodies from my ancestors.
I love making cards and am just now learning to scrapbook. I want to capture all of the wonderful memories that I’m sharing with my little grandchildren because I have had cancer for the past 4 years & want to make sure they remember me:)
My kids love to look at the scrapbooks I’ve been able to get done. It is a fun way to record memories. Thanks for the giveway.
I have always been interested in scrapbooking.I would love to start so that me children will have something to look back on to remind them of their growing up.
I love to scrapbook - have been doing it for about 6 years. I’ve become the family historian and have done a heritage album with pictures back to 1903! This is my relaxing time, having gotten me through some hard times - the friendships with people I scrap with are priceless! Thanks for the generous offer!
Ty I would love to enter ! I made scrapbooks for each of my kids, They have been taken to school and shared many time!!

I like the idea of scrapbooking but I do more stockpiling of supplies than I do actual page producing. Maybe more “stuff” will inspire me.
Well, I am sort of new at scrapbooking but I want to get into it to preserve my families memories. In fact, that is why I started this blog also….to document really cool pictures and stuff my son does.
Please enter me.
Thanks
Dana in TExas
I’ve been wanting to start scrapbooking for years now!
I scrapbook because it’s an activity I can do with my mom. I’m really close with her, but we don’t have many of the same interests. When I visit, scrapbooking is something we can enjoy together. My little sister does it too!
I scrapbook as a creative outlet and also to leave a legacy. Thanks for including me in your drawing.
I’ve been scrapbooking for about 8 years now. I do it because it relaxes me and I love having a creative outlet. And I want to preserve everything I can for my children and future generations. It is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I can never pass up free SB goodies, so please enter me! Thanks!
Love scrapbooking goodies!! Wahooo!
I enjoy scrapbooking because it’s fun and it helps preserve memories. Please enter me in your giveaway. Thanks!
count me in, please!
Oooh, I would SO love to win this! I have always wanted to scrapbook but just didn’t know where to start or what to buy. Having a package from a pro would definitely send me in the right direction!
too keep my memories together, of course! only have about 6 pages so far…
I scrapbook to have special memory books for my children to enjoy in years to come. And to have fun!
