Scrapbooking Your Autumn Photographs

I probably enjoy scrapbooking the autumn season far more than I love scrapbooking any other time of year. With the snow and ice all around me, I actually miss the natural colors of fall. The greens and browns, the oranges and reds. They are beautiful to look at, and I absolutely love incorporating them into my layouts. It’s not only challenging but it’s fun and takes me back to those crisp autumn days before the white blanket covered my world. Our leaves in Missouri changed early this year, so I was able to snap many pictures for several weeks of … Continue reading →

Tips for Getting a Great Family Portrait

You can go and spend a fortune on a portrait sitting, get lots of different poses and then spend hours trying to agonize over which ones you want to order and which ones you want to include in your scrapbook. Or you can create your own portrait sitting and take the photos yourself and spend a lot less money. In addition, you can spend no time actually agonizing over the selection, because the negatives or original digital prints are yours to begin with. This allows you the freedom and flexibility to crop, resize, reprint and alter the photographs until your … Continue reading →

Card-making and Scrapbook Pages

My friend, Laurie, is a brilliant card-maker. She’s spent thousands of dollars on supplies, and her cards are simply gorgeous. She sells them at a local boutique and on the Internet. Luckily for me, she sends some to me on a regular basis just to say hello and keep in touch. I couldn’t bear to throw them away knowing how much time she put into them. I could save them, but she sends a dozen or more throughout the year and it would quickly add up. I came up with a better idea. Lately I’ve been cutting the fronts off … Continue reading →

Christmas Poems for Scrapbook Layouts

Poetry is one of my favorite “embellishments” to include on my layouts. I try to find something that coordinates with the theme, or the feel of the pictures. At holiday time it’s no different.

I thought I would share a few that you might be able to use on your scrapbook pages this holiday season. Even if you don’t have children to scrapbook about, these can be used in other ways. Just print them … Continue reading →
