| Every now and then I read an article that captures how I feel. So, I've decided to post some of these articles to share with you, as I come across those that really speak to me. | |

| How about some absolution for guilt-free scrapbooking? Here are five "rules" that it's seriously OK to break. | |
| Keep the Old Go ahead--use last year's supplies or even (gasp!) paper from several years ago. If you like it, does it really matter when it came out? | |
| Be a Rebel Sure, you like to preserve your memories. But, if you want to use something that's not acid-free, go for it. The scrapbooking police won't call you out. The only consequence is that is might not last. | |
| Scrap Out of Order Who cares whether you took those photos five minutes ago or five decades ago? Scrap what you want, when you want. | |
| Use Imperfect Photos Your snapshots might be blurry, washed out, or so dark you can barely see the subject, but if they capture a treasured memory, put them on a page anyway. | |
| Go Back to Basics We love trying out the latest and greatest tools and supplies--so much that it's easy to lose sight of what scrapbooking is about. So, bust out your basics--cardstock, adhesive, and a paper trimmer--and leave the hot new products on the shelf. | |
| I hope you enjoyed this article, and that it helped you to think outside the box a little. | |
| Happy Stamping! | |
