Scrapbook My Life

In my opinion, one of the best things about scrapbooking is that the process of creating an album encourages you to explore other creative interests. Since I’ve started scrapbooking in 2002, I’ve branched out to exploring projects in card making, rubber stamping, altered art, beading, and jewelry making. One of these days, I hope to learn to knit as well!

Here are a few ways you can challenge yourself creatively as you’re scrapbooking:

• Add crocheted trim to an embellishment tag.
• Use digital design skills to create fun photo effects for your layout.
• Make a beaded bracelet to use as a dimensional accent for your page.
• Write a poem to use in your journaling.
• Sculpt your own embellishments from modeling clay.
• Sew a decorative border and a few buttons on your page.
• Hand paint watercolor paper to use as a background.
• Doodle a fun frame around your favorite photo.
