Do you all have just one Instagram account where you post scrappy stuff and general life stuff? Or do you have one IG account for scrapbooking / crafty stuff, and another IG account for life in general?
I only have one account, but I very rarely post anything on there - I tend to use Facebook more than Instagram. And I have never posted any scrapbooking stuff on my IG account. For some reason I feel like I want to keep my scrapbooking separate to the rest of my life. None of my friends are into scrapbooking, and I don't want to flood their feeds with stuff that they might find boring or silly.
So I'm thinking about setting up a separate account just for scrapbooking. I've just got to think of a name!

I separate the crafty from real life stuff, so I have two IG accounts. I use the crafty account like 99% of the time as I don't post much personal stuff. I anticipate using the personal account more (but still not as much as the crafty one!) after we retire/move this summer.

I have one account, and I only post my layouts to it. Otherwise, I am not on social media.
Well, I think I have one dog photo on it. 😊

Lol. I have several. One for scrappy posting, though I don’t post much. This account is what I use to follow scrapbooking accounts, brands, other creative content creators (artists, posts, writers, etc).
Another for fitness, health, niche diet accounts, wellness, etc.
Another for teachers and education.
My “regular” friends & family one, which is the one set to private.

Thanks for the replies! I have set up a new account called MegsDigiScraps. Ugh, I will change the name when I can think of something more interesting!
Now I have to go and follow all of the Peas I'm currently following on my personal account, on my new account.

I have one account, because an account is needed to view other peoples instagrams. never posted anything on mine.
I post on facebook. Life in general stuff only.

I'm following you. I have 3 accounts, 2 private and 1 public. My public is my crafty account and my private accounts are mostly just friends and family. I need to close one of my private accounts but I'm too lazy.

Following! I made a scrapping account connected to my regular account about a year ago but never used it until today.  |

I started a scrappy account right before I submitted my application to be on the Paper Issues DT. It’s @kikiscrapsalot I have my personal account set to private because of all the crazies that try to follow you on IG, and I didn’t want to have to deal with that. I also like having all of my scrappy stuff in one place. I’m also part of the CSI: Color, Stories and Inspiration design team now, and have access to their IG account so that I can upload my LO’s there.
I also have one for my earring business.

Thanks for the follows girls, it was quite amusing when I searched for those of you who I was already following on my other account, and you were already following me!  I'd better post something I guess.  |

I'm following you!

I just found you and added.
I have a personal account that I recently set to private and my @projectbethlemon account that is just for crafty stuff.
I like this scrapbook community and maybe I’m a little embarrassed about this hobby. But I don’t care how many followers I have or anything like that. It’s like an archive.

I have 2. One is private and personal. The other is open and for crafts.
I have been thinking of turning my private one into a cooking IG account but that is a lot of private info to delete. So Injust post food here and there.
On my open craft one, I block out the kids faces and any journaling that could give info.

I have had a personal one for a long time - maybe 2010/2011 - and then I created a public crafty one last January but did not really post much until this last December. I am still trying to figure out the best way to manage both and if I want to only use the craft one to follow other craft accounts. Right now I have a ton of overlapping accounts I follow and I would like to "clean" it up. My crafty account is pabloreed_creates. I just followed you!

My crafty account is pabloreed_creates. I thought I was following you because you were "famous" (like on a design team or something) not because of this board. ha! Your stuff is so good. |

Thanks for this question - I'm now following a few more scrappy peeps!
I had a personal one for many years, but when I got back into scrapbooking (during early pandemic days) my feed got very scrapbook-heavy, and I felt I was annoying my family and friends. Haha. So I made a separate account just for scrapbooking about 1.5 years ago, and it feels better. The scrapbook one is public and all scrapbooking. The personal one is private and about my life with a very occasional scrapbook share.

LOLOLOLOL...so funny. And thanks . Zero involvement in any design teams or selling or designing. I am just a pea who uses scrapbooking to create sanity for myself + "craft therapy". Edited to add - I really have enjoyed your Dec Daily posts! |

I like this scrapbook community and maybe I’m a little embarrassed about this hobby. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe that's why I didn't post any scrapbooking stuff on my personal account and decided to set up a separate one. I don't know why we should be embarrassed, but there it is. I remember a friend and colleague who I really admired, made a disparaging comment about scrapbooking many years ago, and it's stayed with me. Just as well we have each other, hey?! |

I don't care what people think about my hobby. If they don't want to see my pages, they can mute me. 🙃😊
Scrapbooking is the best!

I only have one and have never posted anything craft related.
I’ve been thinking about making a second account for craft stuff. I do follow craft companies and designers.
Maybe I should set my personal account to private. Hm.
