- Baby Page #1- This is a fun, and fresh, but simple page that really features the picture of the baby on the page. The simple color scheme keeps the focus on the baby, as well as the white border on the bright blue. The page is divided with a cute patterned ric rac, and the embellishments are simple, yet fun. The finishing touch is the hand written name of the baby.
- Childrens Scrapbooking- My children each have their own scrapbooks. I love to add pages to them, but some of my most cherished pages in their books are the pages I have let them develop and crop themselves. I know, I know, sometimes that is a HARD thing to do when you take so much time to develop "perfect pages" When a child creates their own page, though, you are not only preserving their pictures, but their own artwork and an expression from them.
- What Is Scrapbooking? - Scrap booking is preserving photos, memorabilia, and fun memories in a safe, acid free environment. It is not just a "Photo Album." It is preserving more than just your photos. It is journaling and telling the story. It should include special memorabilia such as letters, tickets, awards, locks of hair. You can have many different scrapbooks.
- Where to Start - Do you ever hide all of your shoe box stuffed with pictures so you don’t have to deal with them? If you don’t see them, maybe they don’t exist? Let’s start one step at a time, and you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish with just 10 minutes a day!
- Scrapping on A Budget - I have a hard time walking into a scrap or craft store and leaving with only the specific item I went in for. I always have every intention of staying on task and buying only the blue buttons I need. I am walking down the isle, and the greatest new pop up stickers call to me. I just get two packages, turn around and spot a great new punch, and it's 25% off! I put that in my other hand, because I didn't get a basket. Hmmmmm, what did I come in here for? Oh yes, the buttons. Pretty soon, your budget is stretching and busting at the seams, and your wonderful scrapping hobby is turning into an expensive past time.
