Tips for your scrap booking projects


SCRAPBOOKING TIPS

Preserve Originals — Don’t want your original photo cropped? When scrap booking make color copies to use for cropping, and mount later into your scrapbook.

Punch Power — To keep both sides of a punch sharp, punch through a very fine grade of sandpaper. A sharp punch creates sharp looking scrapbook photos for your scrapbooking albums.

Bubbles Background — Put food coloring in bubbles and blow onto white background paper. Caution- store this formula away from any other scrap booking supplies.

Story Stickers — Journaling along with stickers can create a unique story for your scrap booking enjoyment.

Gift Wrap Background — Color copy favorite gift wrap patterns onto acid-free scrap booking paper, then use as a background or mounting paper for holiday or birthday themes.

Creative Ideas Collected — Take along a disposable camera to crops-photograph unique scrap booking designs or ideas you’d like to try.

Teacher Appreciation — Take photographs throughout the school year to include in a year-end teacher appreciation scrapbook gift.

Quotable Quips and Phrases — Check online websites for public domain quotes to be used on scrap booking pages.

Supply Labels — Use inexpensive mailing labels to mark tools and other scrap booking supplies.

Black and White — Use black and white film to capture details in a photograph.

Who-What-When-Where — Remember to use photo-safe markers to record information on the back of your scrap booking photographs.

Darken Paper Color — Use a rubber stamp with watermark ink to deepen scrap booking paper color.

Flower Press — Use a heavy phone book to press real flowers. Later, use them to create beautiful garden themed scrap booking pages.

Crimped Texture — Run paper through a crimper to create textured scrap booking backgrounds.

Idea Book — Carry a purse sized journal to sketch or collect new ideas when inspired.

Seashell Storage — Die-cut a clear scrap booking page protector into a pocket shape to use for storing beach treasures.

Travel themes — While on vacations, mail yourself postcards that detail memorable experiences.

Kid Keepsakes — Encourage your children to write down their thoughts. Their handwriting will add personality to any scrap booking album.

Tote Your Memories — When going from place to place such as crop nights at different locations it is a good idea to have a tote that will house all of your scrap booking supplies properly.
