Why Scrapbook?
Scrapbooking is my journal and journaling is about contemplating life so it is worth living. Scrapbooking also has an element of legacy--the books we creat will live longer than we will. So I have been musing over legacy and life and I think big changes are on the way.
So Busy Scrapping Had No Time to Blog
A friend reminded me that I had a blog. And, what do you know, I do have one. And I want to start where I left off--with the YourStory. Even though I haven’t blogged for over a year, doesn’t mean that I haven’t crafted. In fact, last year was my most productive one so far for me. I completed over 100 hundred scrapbook pages and about 200 cards.
One big reason I was able to get more done than ever before, is that I bought a YourStory by ProvoCraft. YourStory is a bookbinding system that uses glue as the binder.
Just owning one changed my scrapping life. As soon as I bought one, I could complete projects in a weekend and books in an hour. For example in my last post, that Christmas I hosted family from out of town, I took pictures on Christmas, then the next day, went to a convenience store printed them out. After printing multiple copies of each picture, I was able to send completed scrapbooks home with my guests. Think of it—send the book home with them—no waiting, no shipping, no next year apologies. Beautiful.
The magic is in YourStory binders, the spine has a glue that when heated becomes soft allowing pages to be set in the glue. Once the glue cools, it hardens and holds the pages in a professional looking binder. The system is simple and can be use for many types of projects.
I have used it for recipes, workshop instructions and even a book of all the art work my students did for me. In other words, the YourStory system goes well beyond scrapbook binding—it is a book binding system, portable simple and most of complete.
And yet it doesn’t do everything. But before I go on, I need you to read and I want you to hear, the YourStory is the most valuable asset of my scrap
booking tools outside of paper, photos and my Cricut. It changed my life, made me more productive, bolstered my family relationships by allowing me to give legacy gifts in short turn around time.
In the next post we will talk more about YourStory’s strengths and weaknesses
