I love embellishments! Embellishments make a drab page fabulous. When I do custom scrapbooking I plan the embellishments into each page. Sometimes they cover the page. Sometimes I place them in groupings. There is no right or wrong to embellishing. The key is to have fun. My favorite embellishments are:
1. Ribbon –Yes, I save ribbon scraps!
2. Buttons–I am lucky enough that the two generations before me saved buttons!
3. Words (that capture the mood of the photo or layout)–you can clip these out of magazines or books, stamp them or a number of companies design tiny letters and words that you can use.
4. Brads and eyelets
5. 3-D items like rhinestone shapes, big brads and more
I’ve been an art docent for years and I have always told the kids that there are no mistakes in art. If you do something you don’t like, work with it. Sometimes those mistakes can turn into your best pages.
 But if you are one of those who like the look but don’t feel comfortable using embellishments, hire a scrapbooker who does. I love to have fun making original pages that celebrate your favorite moments, from vacation scrapbooks, summer vacation scrapbooks, to making a Father’s Day scrapbook or a pet scrapbook. If you’re afraid to use scrapbook embellishments, I’m happy to use them for you!

 With summer vacation coming fast it’s a great time to think about your vacation scrapbooking. Some of my favorite scrapbook album pages are the ones where I take a small moment that makes me smile and create a page around it. In this vacation scrapbook page my daughter was so excited to be in a hotel right on the beach and she had just washed her hair and then ran around doing ninja moves in her jammies.
So before you head out the door for your summer vacation, imagine some of the pictures you’d like to take to capture the little moments of your t rip. When you get home and if you find yourself too busy or disorganized to make that vacation scrapbook, hire a custom scrapbooker to make that album for you. We take your photos and create a summer vacation scrapbook that you will enjoy forever.

 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…)

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.
