Hello, my name is Cijaye DePradine.

It is nice to have you here on my site. I launched it near the middle of 2007 and it's become a great resource for Scrapbookers just like you.

Many of the people to this site are beginners, wishing to make a scrapbook for the first time. They are brand new to the concept or they have seen someone elses scrapbooks and got that "buzz" that makes all newbies want to become advanced scrapbookers.

The thing is...learning to scrapbook can be a pretty daunting task since there are so many places you can learn from.

There are millions of websites online. (Most are product driven or too advanced for beginners - but they are great none the less). There are also tons of magazines and books on the market.

Not to mention all of the craft stores now have classes / workshops or demo's on scrapbooking. But... the problem I found with all these great sources is that they are not really "beginner" friendly.

Afterall...do you really want to learn scrapbooking by:

• Wading through millions of Scrapbooking Websites only to find that the only time you had to start scrapbooking is now gone?

• Subscribing to or buying magazines and books that deliver only product or project based information to you - but nothing about "getting started with scrapbooking"

• Spending well over $20.00 / class (PLUS buying last minute supplies) - just to learn ONE THING?

No way. So...after coming to the realization that this wasn't how I wanted it either...I decided to create this site. For people like you (and once myself) who want to learn scrapbooking:

• Without wasting time

• Without buying magazines and books that aren't really helpful to beginners

• Without spending money on classes to learn only one thing

So...here we are. This site is for you! This site is dedicated to educational scrapbooking tutorials, lessons and information. You can learn everything you need to know about beginner scrapbooking as well as advanced scrapbooking here so that you can make a scrapbook with easy, step by step instructions and very little investment - or move into making money with scrapbooking.

The choice is yours!

My hope is that through my website and email newsletter,
you will learn all that you wish to know about scrapbooking PLUS a few secrets that many Scrapbooking Companies won't tell you! ...including how to SAVE MONEY in scrapbooking
and how to MAKE MONEY scrapbooking.

I will give you scrapbooking directions that I know my competitors will be nervous about! As well as scrapbooking ideas, tips and tricks that you will never get anywhere else. I will also give you some great card making instructions along the way too. And most of it, I will give you for free (through my newsletter or blog), simply because I love this craft so much.

Like I said, I do have scrapbooking products for sale, but most of them are educational only. I am not one of those scrapbooking companies that will give you or sell you information for the grander purpose of really selling you physical products.

I only put a price on my scrapbooking tutorials them to keep this site alive.

They were made for people who want to learn scrapbooking on the fast track. When you purchase a book from this site, you get it straight away - via email and you get to take advantage of all the scrapbooking directions or ideas immediately after purchase.
