Scrapbooking Society has partnered with JoAnn Stores to give all Scrapbooking Society Members a 10% discount on all purchases. This includes regular and sale priced merchandise. The discount is good in stores and at JoAnn.com

This is not a one time coupon but rather a VIP Discount card that you can re-use over and over again on all purchases. Yay!!!! All you need to do is fill out the online form and wait for your card to arrive in the mail.

Please Note: You must be a member of Scrapbooking Society to be eligible for the JoAnn VIP Discount card. Join free by clicking here.

On the online form be sure you put Scrapbooking Society where it says Organization Name. Fill the rest of the form out with your personal information. Click here for form

Once you receive your VIP discount card in the mail, you will need to activate it. For this you need to show proof of your membership to Scrapbooking Society. We will be happy to e mail you a membership certificate you can print. Just please send us a quick e mail at: info@scrapbookingsociety.com

In your e mail please provide us your first and last name and we will e mail you a Membership Certificate that you can print as your proof of membership. If you do not want the JoAnn VIP card but would still like to have a Membership Certificate, please e mail us and we will get one right to you. Feel free to e mail us if we may be of assistance to you.

TIP – When you receive your discount card laminate it since you will be able to use it repeatedly. This will keep it in good shape while you spend lots of money to showcase a couple of photos, as all of us scrapbookers do so well.  :)

Enjoy! From your friends at ScrapbookingSociety.com!

Here they are –  These are digital photos taken by Lisa our Editor-in-Chief specifically for you! These are raw digital images that are perfect for backgrounds. Raw images meaning we have not tweaked them in any way, nor have we re-sized them. We will leave that up to you creative souls to do what you wish with them. Have fun!

We would love to see what you do with these if any of you use them. These are great for digital scrapbookers and they can also be printed for all of you traditional scrapbookers.

Click on the thumbnails to get the full size unedited image…Then right click to save to your computer. Warning- these images are super large which makes the file size super huge. Since we want you to be able to use them as backgrounds, we don’t want to reduce the size. Enjoy!

Quite a lot! Flea Markets are a great place to find inspiration. Personally I love the charm of imperfection. When I visit a flea market I take lots of pictures. Some pictures I take specifically to create beautful backgrounds which translate to perfect 12 x 12 digital paper and/or printable 12 x 12 paper. For all the digital scrappers in the house, you will find unlimited fabulous images to use in digital layouts when you visit a flea market. This past weekend I went to one of my all time favorite markets located in Round Top texas. It is a premier market and one of the largest and well known markets in the country.

I took lots of pictures and I wanted to share some with you. Look at these for vintage charm and inspiration. Let your imagination wonder and you will quickly see how you cna use images of tattered and chippy vintage items to inspire your layouts. And, coming next will be the lovely images I took specifically to use as backgrounds. I will be sharing those with you as well.  Enjoy!

Hey Crafters! We are getting ready to begin our crafter of the month feature where we showcase one artist/crafter monthly. We will show projects and feature a short interview with them. This is a great way to gain ideas and inspiration as well as get to know your fellow members! If you would like to be featured e mail us at info@scrapbookingsociety.com and we will send you the details.

Stay tuned!
