Tiny matchbook scrapbooks for special occasions. You can show off small photos in a scrapbooking format that look like a tiny matchbook! Think of the parents who take a picture of their child\’s first day at school each year. You can add a cover that looks like a small matchbook, which opens to display the child\’s picture. A few memories of the school year can also be added.
Use up those leftover scraps. Bits of those scraps can be used to create a mosaic you can adorn your scrapbooking pages with. You can cut up tiny scraps in minuscule pieces and then arrange them as a mosaic border to use around your pages. You are better off placing your mosaic border on a background page the color of which contrasts the colors of the pieces you used, to create an illusion of grout as you would find in ceramic mosaic patterns.
Add some silhouettes. Cropping your photos to create silhouettes really makes your pages stand out. By cutting close to the subject lines, you can make the picture seem real to those browsing through the pages.
Add a few decorative cuts to add a professional touch. Are you tired of the same old look of your cuts? Simply using decorative scrapbooking scissors can freshen up your cuts. Using different types of decorative scissors, you can add triangles, corkscrew and art deco patterns to your project.
Make your backgrounds unique by designing them yourself. If you have a hard time finding a background paper that fits your need, don\’t hesitate to make your own. Take a piece of background paper and sponge paint it with the color and shapes that you want. You can even finger-paint it if you want – get creative.
Scrapbooking is a fun hobby for the beginner and the advanced memory-keeper alike. Be creative in your own projects and don\’t be shy about coming up with new ideas you can share with others. Tap into your scrapbooking creative source and enjoy the process.
