Scrapbook clubs are often a good way to get started with and learn how to scrapbook. The owner or editor of the group actually does the shopping for you, then sends out projects for you to complete either by copying the projects in an accompanying worksheet or by giving you several ideas for making your own projects from the products.
Clubs will range in price from as little as $9.00 per month to as much at $40.00 per month plus shipping and handling.
I did a quick search this morning on google.com for “scrapbook clubs ”
in quotations and got a return of 5290 links. Yes, there are a ton of clubs out there. So what do you look for in a club?
1. What do they include in a kit?
2. How many projects do they include?
3. What is the quality of the products? Often you will not know this until you have received at least one package from them.
4. Do they have a website and gallery where you can see what
other scrappers have done with their designs?

Kit and Kaboodles Monthly has a great website and offers different prices for kits based on how long your membership extends. They even publish the quality of the kit right on line.
I even found a great page at scraptalk review
Stampin’ Up! called simply scrappin. They includes an online video tutorial. These special offers are available only through an independent representive.
I checked out Cara Miller Designs. This is a kit club for board book enthusiasts. You can check it out too at http://caramiller.typepad.com/
One I have enjoyed for many months is www.apronstringsdesigns.com At apron strings you can get kits in several sizes from the kitchen sink to the bread box. They have fun kits and tons of ideas in their online gallery and monthly .pdf newsletter.
If you belong to or know of a scrap club, please enter your review of the club I know that I would like to know.
