Theme Your Gift : The Scrapper's Theme - for the Scrapbooking Lover

Know someone with a paper fetish, affinity for acrylic stamps, or die cut addiction? Chances are they're a scrapper - a scrapbooking lover. Gone are the days of the mundane photo album, today's album makers are artists. They embellish ... they frill ... they stamp, punch, poke, tear, adorn, and ink until they create a masterpiece of a keepsake. With a scrapbook, every picture becomes a work of art and every scrapbook maker a creative genius in their own right.

If you know a scrapbook fanatic, there is no better gift than the gift of supplies! A scrapbooker can NEVER have too many pieces of paper, too many brads and eyelets, too many die cuts, too many stamps, or too many embellishments! There are so many fabulous pieces available to the scrap crafter it is impossible to own to many supplies. New scrapbooking techniques and tools hit the market continuously and every embellishment sparks a new idea.

But with the enormous amount of scrapbooking paraphernalia to sort through, knowing what to get for a scrapper can be overwhelming. That's why we've broken it down for you! We've put together a collection of quality scrapbooking supplies from the top brands to make gift hunting for your favorite scrapbook addict a cinch!

If you're putting together your own gift set for a scrapper, start with paper; every scrapbooker needs and loves paper. Add in some packs of brads or eyelets and pick out a few embellishments like some alphabet rub-ons, flowers, or metal signage tags; you can't go wrong with embellishments. Or put together a stamp gift set with some great Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads, a few packages of clear stamp sets, and an acrylic block. Want to go for something really dazzling? Thrill your scrapper with a personal die cut machine! If you are buying for someone new to scrapbooking, try giving a prepackage scrapbooking kit. Even experienced scrappers love kits; they'll have no problem utilizing all the embellishments and paper that come in them and they'll appreciate the thought! Don't forget to throw some adhesives in with your gift, like a tape runner and some glue dots, so your scrapper can put it all together!
