Welcome to My Crop Room
Hello! My name is Heidi Payne and I love to scrapbook! I've been doing this for over 15 years and now I'm so excited that it has finally become as popular as it has. Over the years I've had many people tell me that they wish they could put a scrapbook together but just don't know to get started. After hosting a few small classes in my home and the occasional one on one tutoring session, I decided that there must be an easier way to get the word out about scrapbooking. This website was the answer. It is designed to help those beginners out there who:
- feel overwhelmed by their stacks and stacks of photos.
- get lost inside a scrapbook store.
- feel unable to create pages due to a lack of creativity.
- don't know anybody who can help them get started.
Don’t lose hope! You may find your scrapbooking niche yet.
This website includes the basics that I teach everyone who is just getting started. I call this page Scrapbook 101. It is an outline of all the basic scrapbooking tools needed to get started. With it, you’ll know what Pop Dots are and the difference between mulberry paper and cardstock. This basic knowledge and video tutorials will help you become more comfortable in a scrapbook store or among fellow scrapbookers.
Another feature of this website is the Scrapbook Layouts page. This page is full of finished scrapbook page layouts and basic how-to instruction. It’s very handy if you find yourself with “scrappers block” and need a boost of creativity. Feel free to steal any creative ideas and claim them as your own. I promise I won’t press charges!
I have also included a Scrapbooking Resources page full of materials that I find ideas in. I've done all of the detective work and now you have at your fingertips a plethora of scrapbooking sites to gather materials. From digital scrapbooks to fonts to scrapbook furniture, check it out, it's all here.
I’ll let you know some Scrapbook Tips and Tricks I have found in the world of scrapbooking. New techniques or products will be introduced on this page. Hopefully, you can work up the courage to explore new techniques and develop your own personal style of creativity. Just click on the article you want to read about. Maybe you'll learn something new!
Finally, I've put in some Scrapbooking Freebies that you might find helpful. Sketches of scrapbook layouts and quotes you can print out. All for you, all FREE!
With My Crop Room you too can be a part of this rapidly growing trend that involves preserving your memories and expressing your own creative self. You’re going to love it! Good luck and have fun!
Best Wishes!
