We came up with a few "scrapper resolutions" for 2007 for our cropping friends. We hope you enjoy them and add a few to your list of resolutions!

• Take more pictures -- don't forget about photographing everyday life
• Organize your photos -- a Cropper Hopper Photo Box works great for this!
• Organize my tools and supplies - Memory Bound has a 20%OFF storage products coupon in the print newsletter!
• Get on the other side of the camera -- it's important to not just be the photographer, but to also BE IN a few photos
• Spend more time scrapbooking - set aside some time each week or better yet, sign up for a Memory Bound Crop!
• Take classes - Memory Bound classes are great inspiration and a source for new ideas!
• Scrapbook with friends - call up your friends and organize a crop. Introduce non-cropping friends to the hobby you love.
• Don't stress because "you're behind" in your scrapbooking -- if you enjoy it, do you really want to ever be "done" with your projects?
