Alphanumeric Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapworthy Lives! This is my first ever participation in a blog hop! I hope my post goes live at the correct time as I am in the US and many of the other participants are in the UK.
If you got here via the hop, you should have arrived from Scrappyjacky.
There is a giveaway at I Speak Melsh, so be sure to make it through the hop. I think you have to figure out everyone’s letter and number along the way to be entered, but check out I Speak Melsh for the details. Some of the other bloggers might also have giveaways. Either way, a great big THANK YOU goes out to Mel for organizing this hop.
So, now that I have all those details out of the way, let’s get on with it.

Today’s post is brought to you by the letter S!

Scrapbookers are a sharing rather than selfish group.

Here are six ways scrapbookers share:

Scholarship (Knowledge)

We tell others about scrapbooking. We teach others how to scrapbook. We share our knowledge of new techniques and creative ways to use products, new or old.

Scrapbook Pages or Layouts

We love to share our creations with others. We show our pages to our families and friends. But, we quickly learn that most of our non-scrapbooking friends and family members that are teenaged or older, really don’t care to see our pages (at least not too often), so we start blogs and upload our layouts there or publish our layouts to online galleries. It is not enough just to create a layout; we want to share it, too.

Stretches of Time

We share our time with new scrapbookers, to help them get started. We share our time whenever we scrapbook with others. We share our time when we share our scrapbook layouts and we share our time when we create scrapbooks as gifts.

Stories

Our scrapbooks contain stories. Our stories. Our family’s stories. Stories that would otherwise disappear if not recorded. We share our stories in scrapbooks.

Strategies

We share money saving tips and strategies to make our stash go further. We share strategies about how to use random products we bought “because they were so cool” but we now have know idea how to incorporate them into our scrapbooking.

Stash

If we have the perfect yellow ribbon for our friend’s layout, we give it to her (or him). Digital scrapbookers share templates and digital elements that they have created. Our stash is shared.

Scrapbookers are a sharing bunch. What do you think? Comment below.
