I’m sure many of you have seen advertisements or heard about some of the many scrapbooking clubs out there now. And I’m sure that you’ve listened to what they’re all about and then wondered to yourself, are they really worth it?

I think the best way to really get a feel for a product or service is to get inside information from people who have experience with them. To do this I took to the web and visited a variety of scrapbooking sites with forums for their members.

There are a variety of different scrapbooking clubs available to choose from. Almost all of them offer the same basic benefits, kits, tips & techniques and chat services or forums which are based on their websites. Given this I couldn’t really differentiate the worthiness of one from another so I decided to dig a little deeper.

The comment that kept popping up over and over again was, “these kits from the club are wonderful,” and, “this club is very worth the money!”

Now, given the number of times I heard or saw these comments I could’ve stopped right there, but I wanted to know more about what makes the kits from these clubs and the clubs themselves so wonderful and worth the price.

In search of this information I discovered that just about every experience the people I came across had with these clubs met their satisfaction. Some are pleased with the websites, others with the quality of the kits and still others with the interaction they experience through the forums.

The people who mentioned the kits were particularly pleased with the quality of the kits, the coordination of the products and the tips and techniques they receive in the kits. The forums were hailed as being a great way to share layouts, get advice and discuss the hobby in general.

As for the websites, the all-inclusiveness was the big crowd pleaser.

Overall, in asking myself the question, “Are scrapbooking clubs worth the money,” I feel confident in saying yes. With all the information and personal insight I gained during my research I would highly recommend taking the time to check these clubs out and see if they’re a good fit for you.
