Other Ways To Use Your Scrapbooking Creativity
Submitted By: Jackie Schimmel Scrapbooking is not just for your
photos! You can use scrapbooking techniques for so many different
projects. I’d like to give you some ideas.Looking for that
special and personal greeting card that you can’t seem to
find at the store? Well, get out your scrapbooking stuff and make
your own card. If you can scrapbook, then you can make your own
cards too. Doesn’t every scrapbooker do that? I sure do.
You can save a lot of money. Use your scraps and embellishments
that you can’t seem to find a place for in your layouts.
It’s so easy and fun.
Create a gift bag to match your fabulous
card with scrapbooking materials. You can use wide sturdy ribbon
as handles, a little sewing and sturdy cardstock for the bag part.
Cover it in patterned paper and add embellishments (i.e. flowers)
to make it pretty and add to the sturdiness. Sew on a pocket on
the outside and glue everything with modge podge or something
similar that will hold and viola! you have a wonderful gift bag
that will be special to the lucky person.Handmade gifts are just
wonderful keepsakes. There are plastic purses or cigar boxes you
can buy and you can dress them up in an artistic manner.
Add patterned paper and embellishments
and use modge podge to make sure it all sticks. These make really
wonderful gifts.Take a regular spiral notebook and cover it with
everything that is special to you. You will be sure to jot down
and look at your notes, because you will not want to take your
eyes off of the art you’ve created!Make a “Welcome
to Our HOME” collage and place it in a shadow box in your
hallway. Your guests will love it
you can be proud of your creativity. You
can also make your own keyholder with hooks and all. Or just take
a plain frame and spruce it up with some paint and embellishments
to make it look special. That can also be used a gift.Another
great idea I saw recently was an oval shaped wooden box with a
matching lid. When you add your patternd paper, some ribbon and
metal, it makes a lovely jewelry box for yourself or as a gift.
Use the modge podge again, to make it stick. This is very important
since you don’t want it falling apart.Use those old wine
bottle gift tubes to create your own beautiful gift tube for someone
else! If you look around your house, you just might find things
you can “dress up”. A candy jar, a coffee can, an
old pencil cup, a magazine holder, an address book. You name it!
