 Are you at a loss for scrapbooking inspiration? Do you want to transport yourself to another place and time? Custom scrapbooking a picture of one of your favorite places is a great way to do both.
In this scrapbook page I used one photo that captured the moment of my daughter visiting my favorite place for the very first time. I usually use a shabby chic approach to my scrapbooking and this page was no different. To capture the fun and whimsical moment I tilted the photo on the page then built the colors of the scrapbook paper and embellishments around the theme of happiness and summer. Of course I could not stop myself from embellishing the scrapbook page. (more…)

 I have to admit I have sticker shock when I go into a store to pick up a card for any given occasion.

You can find scrapbooking materials almost anywhere. Just a few days ago I went to our local used bookstore and purchased some fabulous vintage scrapbook supplies: old magazines, postcards, and books that can be cut up and used in your scrapbook. You can create your own custom scrapbook with the books and magazines you find. I really like to use the older items from circa 1950 and before. Who knows, you might even find some great scrapbook inspiration. I picked up a great 1936 copy of Good Housekeeping and was delighted with all the inspiration and vintage ads, articles and artwork that I could not only use in my custom scrapbooks, but also use for inspiration.

Do you ever wish you had ideas for your scrapbook album? Fresh out of fun ideas? Why not scrapbook your life, but first turn to your book shelf or coffee table and use a book you’re reading or current magazine to find your inspiration. Maybe a chapter title or magazine article will be your next inspiration for a fun custom scrapbook page. For instance, maybe you spot an article called “5 favorite things to do this spring,” or “things to make you smile.” You never do know when the next idea will strike and I find that my stack of current magazines can give me lots of ideas. Sometimes, you won’t even need to open a magazine. Just scan the headline titles on the cover and make your way to your scrapbook studio!

Are you at a loss for scrapbooking inspiration? Do you want to transport yourself to another place and time? Custom scrapbooking a picture of one of your favorite places is a great way to do both.
How do you decide if you should put one photo . . . or six . . . on a page? 
It’s that time of year when America hits the road with cameras in hand. Here are seven simple tips to help you capture photos that will help make a memorable custom scrapbook. 
Custom scrapbooks range from simple to complex layouts and cover an entire range of techniques and color. I like to put alot into my pages and layer colors and texture to create a collage-style feel. 
I am so thankful for the custom scrapbooks my mom made of my dad’s life in the past few years leading up to his death 2 weeks ago.
