Heart Scraps

Welcome to Heart Scraps!  After realizing what a passion I have for scrapbooking, I realized that I wanted to meet others with that same passion. 

I started a scrapbook while I was expecting my son and have been hooked ever since.  Not only is it a little like therapy for some of us, it's a fantastic way to document our family history as well as all things fun about life in general.  Some of the most interesting layouts I've seen are about those daily things that happen to all of us.  Of course, that first haircut or first day of school are definite "must scraps" in my book, but the variety of scrapbook subjects is expanding daily. 

Have you ever tried sketches to  boost your creativity or help if you're having scrapper's block?  What about trying a challenge issued from a fellow scrapper to get you thinking outside your usual way of scrapping?  You'll find this kind of inspiration and more here at Heart Scraps.

Have you considered a "Book of Me"?  If you're like me, you're always behind the camera and not in the photos.  Get out that tripod or have a friend take some photos of YOU!  Create those layouts so that your children will know the real you!  Once I started, it became easier and I realized what a great way this would be for my son to know his mom.

I'm hoping that Heart Scraps will grow into a great group of people sharing ideas, stories and friendship, something we all need in our lives.  Join us, won't you?

We are a group of crafters dedicated to helping those in need through scrapbooking, stamping, and papercrafting. Our goal is to raise funds for local and national charity organizations twice a year, while providing those of you who love paper arts an opportunity to help others by attending our charity crops.  You will have a wonderful time making new friends, learning new techniques, and sharing in the rewarding experience of knowing you are a valuable component in helping others.

Our first charity crop was held February 3, 2007, and we raised over $800 for SAFE Homes Rape Crisis Coalition.   Our event was held at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center's Heart Center auditorium and we would like to thank Ms. Lizzie Staggs and SRMC for providing us with our crop space for this event.

If you would like to become a volunteer for Scrapping from the Heart, please visit our web site at www.scrappingfromtheheart.org.

We are busy planning a second crop to be held October 27, 2007, so if you'd like to register visit the web site for more information!  We look forward to seeing more paper crafters this October!
