Unusual scrapbook embellishments
Once you’ve been scrapbooking for awhile, many of the embellishments you find at your local craft store start to look the same. So, you force yourself to get creative in the search for the next cool thing to jazz up your layout. Here are some of the unusual embellishments I’ve collected recently:
- A cake topper that says “Super Dad” for a Father’s Day page
- A Batman flying disc from a cereal box for a page about my son’s Batman costume
- Ribbon from a Bath and Body Works gift basket for a page about my favorite things
- Textured paint chips to use for a custom background
- A butterfly sticker that came with some junk mail
While collecting interesting odds and ends for your scrapbook is a fun frugal pastime, remember that not all of these items may be acid free. Use caution whenever you’re working with nontraditional supplies and irreplaceable family photos.
