Other uses for scrapbook techniques

One of the best things about learning to scrapbook is how you can incorporate the techniques into other events in your life.  I have used scrapbooking to make birthday cards, christmas cards, invitations etc.  Imagine how you can incorporate scrapbooking into your wedding.  You can make the invitations, placecards, thank you cards and even the party favors yourself and not only save money but everyone will love and remember the personal touch. Take a look at these sand dollars: These are ideal for making placecards for a wedding.  You could write the name of each individual using a caligraphy pen and then using ribbon in your wedding colors you could thread the ribbon through the slots to make each shell stand out.  On the backside of the shells you can also write the names of the Bride and Groom and the date.   This can also be used as a great memento for the guests to take home.  Be sure to create one for the Bride and Groom themselves which they can later add to their wedding scrapbook!

scrapbooking space

The room is done!  Vacation was great and busy and the best part is that we used some of the time to clean out the garage and set up a craft room.  I can scrap in comfort finally!  I have already finished two pages and have plans for a lot more.  I will finally get to show you the results of some of the techniques I try to share with everyone.  Stay tuned, this is going to be fun!     Technorati Tags : scrapbook, space, techniques, ideas, share, pictures     Powered By Qumana

Not gone

I just wanted to catch up with everyone and let you know I haven't falled off the earth.  We have family in town this week, a family reunion and camping trip planned for this weekend and I have been working on helping a friend get his websites up and going and I will be trying to help promote his e-book.  I will let you know more about all that when it is up and going!    We do have one blog done which you can see at www.carpsvoice.blogspot.com and you can see what it is all about.  Good news, we will be getting the scrapbooking room painted and set up this weekend too!   I expect life to back to somewhat normal after next Monday and will start righting more. In the meantime I will catch up when I can.   I hope everyone is having a great summer and appreciate your patience!
