UPDATE: The winner of the giveaway is #112, Nicole (not me, the other one 
). Congratulations, Nicole. I will contact you shortly!
Hello. My name is Nicole. And I’m a cropaholic.
Oh yes, its true. For 13 years now. It used to be Mrs. Grossman stickers and oval templates. Now its cute little brads, glittery things of all sorts and paper. Oh…the paper.
Let me tell you a little bit about me.
I’m not a scrapbook designer or professional artist. (Short caveat here…I am a graphic designer, turned web designer, turned blog designer. But trust me when I tell you that scrapbooking…in the traditional manner…and digital design are two different animals. And a professional scrapbooker I am not.)
I scrap as often as I can, many times neglecting laundry and opting for ordered pizza over a home cooked meal.
I probably buy hide invest in more stuff supplies tools than I really need.
I sometimes cut crookedly.
I have no problem cropping photos.
I scraplift. A lot. Oh, the degradation.
Like scrapbooking, blogging is another passion of mine. I started blogging in 2008 and blog at The Pixel Boutique, sharing tips, resources and design services for other bloggers.
My goal with this here little blog is to combine both of my passions. You can expect some honest opinions on products, maybe some giveaways, hopefully some guest posts and probably some tips and tricks along the way. How’s that for concrete?
So to kick things off right, I’m hosting a giveaway. Here are a few scrapbooking treats I’m thrilled to be able to offer one lucky winner!

Entering is simple: Just tell me what kind of scrapbooker you are:
- Obsessed – I’m just like you. Its a condition.
- Frustrated – I WANT to scrapbook much more than I do, but life has another idea.
- Reluctant – Someone drags me to crops against my will.
- Clueless – I want to be a scrapbooker but have no idea where to start.
- Lurking – I just happened upon this blog and have no idea what you are all so hyped up about, but the giveaway looks pretty cool.
Entries must be made before Friday, October 16 at midnight. For extra entries, you can tweet up to once a day. Be sure to leave a comment for each tweet.
So thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to exploring this think called “scrapbooking” with you, my friend!
i’m still lurking, i want to scrapbook but i haven’t got into it yet.
I am a Frustrated scrapbooker I need more time.
Clueless~
I would be in the confused category. I really want to start but I have no idea where too.
I am a frustrated scrapper… I have pictures and albums waiting… just need to find the time and space to do them!
I am like You love card making, scrapbooking and other misc items….I have had 4 water flooding in Our basement so I have a mess downstairs…I am trying to make My own area out of a mess…I have tons …I have never seen these I have been staying out of stores til My mess is cleaned up…
I think scrapbooking would be loads of fun, if I had more time. I look at all the papers and add-ons at the craft store and they look really fun and cool, but I resist getting into it, because I know the stuff will sit in a stack on the floor next to the bed and never get put together to tell the story of my life. Come on. Lure me in to the obsession by giving me this prize.
I am Clueless – I want to be a scrapbooker but have no idea where to start. I have friends who scrapbook and I love the things they make, but haven’t done it myself.
