The Scrapbooker’s Bill of Rights

I found this great Declaration put out by Hot Off the Press and I just had to share it with you.

The scroll looks great but it’s hard impossible to read so here’s what it says:

The Scrapbooker’s Bill of Rights

A Scrapbooker is entrusted with documenting and safely preserving family photos in an album to be treasured by future generations. Creating a Scrapbook is an honorable and important task. As a Scrapbooker you are entitled (but not limited) to the following rights:

You have the right to take as long as you want to complete one album page. This may be five minutes or two weeks.
You have the right to purchase a certain scrapbook item for no other reason than because:

1. you like it;
2. you think it’s cute;
3. you’ll never find it again, or;
4. you know you’ll use it someday.

You have the right to a workspace of your own. This may be the basement, your college student’s old bedroom or the kitchen table. It’s yours.
You have the right to scrapbook when inspiration strikes – whether the dishes are done or not.
You have the right to request peaceful, kid-free, stress-less scrap time – guilt free.
You have the right to create pages that reflect and celebrate the spirit of the one person who is usually NOT in the photograph: You.
You have the right to put whatever you want on your album page. This includes, but is not limited to: patterned papers, die-cuts, stickers and punch-outs. You may place as many or as few photos per page as you deem appropriate.
You have the right to do nothing more than snack and socialize at a 6 hour cropping party.

You have the right to value your personal scrapbooking style to be as important as your photographs. You are creating a treasure and part of that treasure is You.

You have the right to create your own legacy, one page at a time.

Yaaay!!! Scrapbookers of the World Unite!!
