Why Is This Baby Crying?

Because she dosesn’t have time to scrap a Mother’s Day gift. Don’t cry, baby. The friendly folks at Hallmark have a solution—Instant Scrapbook Frames and Instant Scrapbooks. Hallmark has done the designing and embellishing—all you need to do is pop in the photos. The scrapbooks have individually designed and embellished pages, page protectors and a selection of caption stickers.

OK, by now you’re either sighing in relief or throwing up your hands in horror. Granted, this isn’t for everyone—probably not for most scrappers who prefer to demonstrate their own creative flair, thank you.

What about your nonscrapping friends? I was at a baby shower recently where the mother-to-be was given an Instant Scrapbook. Knowing that a baby would keep her busier than she’d ever been in her life, she was thrilled. All the guests thought the idea was great. What a terrific way to introduce a busy person to scrapbooking. Lure them in, so to speak.

What if you, a true-blue scrapbooker, are really pressed for time? Would a headstart on a layout or frame come in handy? You can always add your own touch.

Let me know what you think. And Happy Almost-Mother’s-Day.

I use premade things like that all the time when I am making gifts. I think they come in handy sometimes. Happy MOther's Day to you too!

Thanks for your comment, Alecia. I'm with you about these things coming in handy. I like to put a bit of myself into my gifts, but sometimes it takes the form of a note or creative wrappiing/presentation.
