Tallyscrapper was one of my first online homes for scrapbooking. I lived on that site, shared my work, made great friends, bought awesome supplies, and had fun. I know with summer vacation starting, people are busy, but it is like a ghost town over there! Please, visit the site, check out the galleries, post a message saying hi, upload your work, try out a challenge, suggest things to help us keep Tally strong!
What do you want from an online scrapbooking community? Swaps, games, challenges, new kits, prizes, crops? Just let us know!
A blog about my paper crafts and how I "try" to save money so that I can do more of what I love!

Fun Swaps
Swaps are a fun way to get new supplies in exchange for parting with yours. It can help you save money, get new things, and doesn't usually take up any new space.
Gecko Galz recently did a Paris Flea Market themed swap, which I missed out on, where you sent themed supplies to a specific person. What I really liked about what I have seen in this swap was the creative packaging. Flowers wrapped in tissue paper tied with string, a jewelry box dresser which was altered, and an accordion file decorated in the theme. It gave me all kinds of ideas for future swaps, like wrapping the items in a doily, tied with ribbon.
My scrap friends and I are planning on doing a Vintage Christmas swap next month, so we will post details soon.
Many sites also do an art swap, where you can create a piece of art to swap for something made by another person. This includes mini books, ATC cards, coasters, etc. it is a fun and creative way for you to create and share your art. My family likes getting homemade gifts but only so much!
So here is a list of some swaps that are accepting people now. Happy Swapping!
Gecko Galz - Mini Book Swap, sign up by June 30th.
Gecko Galz - Secret Friend Swap! Sign up by June 20th.
Alpha Stamps - Birds in Hats Coaster Swap, sign up by June 24th.
