More Fun With Scrapbooking With These 3 Golden Rules

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

A few days ago I wanted to start a spontaneous scrapbooking session. But when I was about to start, I suddenly thought about the process and it gave me the creeps.

It sounds strange but every time I start to scrapbook something goes wrong. It’s somehow inevitable. For example, at least one of my tools was always missing. Sometimes I ruin a cut just because I can’t properly lift the piece of the cutting map.

If you have similar experiences I want to share with you my three golden rules for scrapbooking fun. They literally changed they way I did scrapbooking and now I have fun every time I scrapbook.

Golden Rule 1: Organize Your Workplace

In the past I often had a problem: My workplace wasn’t a real workplace. It was just a place where I used to store some of my tools, but there was no real intention involved.

Of course I never managed to find all my important tools when I needed them this way.

I recommend you to design your workplace like an office. Have a place for everything. Have a place where you want to store your tools. Clean up every time you leave your workplace.

Golden Rule 2: Tools Are Important

Nothing is worse than ruining a great cut because your scissors is not sharp enough. You can not scrapbook if you haven’t got a complete set of high quality tools. Probably the best of all Cricut tools is the Cricut cutting machine.

Golden Rule 3: Write Down Your Thoughts

At the end of the day you will want your ideas and thoughts well organized and written down. Why? We have great ideas all the time but we forget them immediately if we don’t write them down as soon as we can.

I recommend you to organize your thoughts, your tools and your workplace. This way nothing will come between you and a scrapbooking session full of fun and creativity!

Ideal Embellishments For Your Wedding Scrapbook

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

There are many motifs which are ’standard’ for weddings; doves, rings, shoes, flowers (especially in bouquets) and, of course hearts.

Rings are tricky to cut out, so if you’re looking for a ring embellishment the best thing is to find a suitable rubber stamp. Using gold or silver embossing powder supplies, stamp and emboss the ring on a square of card and if you can, make it look as much like THE ring (wedding or engagement) as you can. Cut the square out, mount on a slightly larger square of contrasting or gold or silver card (preferably textured) possibly using a foam pad for dimension, and you have a basic but effective wedding embellishment.

Wedding scrapbooks are usually full of wedding cake shaped embellishments, but if I can get hold a good wedding cake shape, I like to use them as tags. Every page needs at least one tag, so when working on a full wedding scrapbook instead of a mere layout, it is best to make them by batches. One of the easier things to use is a simple die cut of a wedding cake. These can be easily found on ebay or you can have your own die cutting machine for personal use. If you have the ability to create your own, pearlised card looks lovely, and is usually available in white or ivory as well as shell pink, all fit a wedding theme well. There is a sizzix bigz die which is perfect for this. Cut one from plain paper and one from fancy and write your journaling on the plain version. Make sure you complete that before you set up your tag, it’s not fun afterwards! You could turn the fancy tag into an elaborate cake by simply adding tiny pearly dots from a soufflé pen to give an icing effect and then decorate with the smallest cut out flowers you can find in several toning colors. You can then stick your journaling on the back and add to your page with enough ribbon for someone to turn it if they want to read. Or trim the journaling until it is slightly smaller and mount it on top of the full size cake shape. In either case add a ribbon or fiber so you can add the tag to the page. You can use the same technique to cut out shoes and add some tiny flowers where the buckles would be. Personally I like to finish most things with a little transparent glitter, but not everyone likes glitter as much as I do!

Flower embellishments can be made by cutting out flowers from any flowery paper, such as the le-romantique two sided paper ‘loves labyrinth’. The design features a number of rose pairs. Cut out one entire design to use as a base and then cut out single elements. Add these to the base with a spot of silicone glue and tease into a 3D shape. When dry you can add tiny spots of clear glitter to finish it off. The final product is an embellishment that matches perfectly with a layout made of l-romantique papers, frames and tags.

You can also make flowers from die cuts or even more cheaply using a stencil or template such as ‘20 Blossoms’ from Hot off the Press. A number of acrylic stamps include flower heads that are varied in size. You can stamp these, cut them out and layer them together, gently curling the petals for a 3D effect. For something modern try ‘Mindy’s flowers’ from Mindy Terawasa which provides swirls and stems you can stamp on your scrapbook pages while you add the 3d flower heads you have created. For a truly delicate look, try making your flower head from vellum and add just a tiny amount of sparkle. Then glue several flower heads together to make a simple bouquet.

Tiny 3D flowers look great attached to almost anything, a conventional tag, even one originally designed for a parcel, can be made to look good with a few 3d flowers. But weddings are one place where a heart motif is most definitely appropriate. The good news is that this is usually very easy to find. There are several craft punches that can make different heart configurations, however do not limit yourself to just using cut outs. You can use the heart punches to embellish your wedding pages by cutting a strip of paper, plain if your background is patterned, patterned if your background is plain. Punch the strip and remove the punched out hearts (for use on other pages), then either placing the paper strip back direct over your background, or put a ribbon below it to make a very decorative border. Ribbon can be very useful in creating a contrast of texture as well as color and satin ribbon provides a beautiful shiny surface which looks very luxurious.

A myriad of possibilities are there for you when you are thinking about wedding pages, I am often surprised that some people shy away from them in the belief that there’s little creativity involved. Your scrapbook is what you make it and that’s half the fun. One day create a layout from a design you’ve seen and scrapbook embellishments you’ve bought, the next do it all from scratch and really express yourself. There are no rights and wrongs. Simply go for what you want!

Ideas For The Bride’s Scrapbook

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

If you are scrapbooking your own wedding, you are creating a historical document. Don’t go for a small format like 8 by 8 for something this important. Buy a good quality scrapbook, letter size or 12 by 12. This will not only give you room for larger pictures, you’ll be able to add copies of documents like the marriage certificate without losing too much space. You will want to copy all the pictures before you start to mess about with them, and of course you can scan and print your documentation at any convenient size.

When you consider the pages, think about what kind of questions your daughter would pose on the topic of your wedding. How long was the engagement? What did your ring look like? When did you know that you were ready to get married? Where did you get your dress? Why did you choose it? How much did you spend? Think about the information you want to leave behind. Your wedding photograph album has the official version, you scrapbook can be as honest as you want it to be. You can tell the whole story of how his mother brought you bridesmaids you didn’t want and didn’t know, or how your mother hated the dress, or you can simply go with the best memories and ignore the ones that aren’t so great.  When it comes to your daughters turn, it may be useful to be able to show her what you went through.

If you are scrapbooking a parent, or grandparents wedding you might like to create some embellishments which have been artificially aged. For example, the pictures for my grandparents’ wedding are in black and white while my parents’ are in sepia. Both of these look a little odd on colorful backgrounds, so I’d suggest creating your own background pages. Find a relatively plain background paper you like and choose two two toning colors of Tom Holtz. Using a mask, such as The Flourish from Tim Holtz, you can create an effect which will be in your chosen colors, but will look printed, and it’s much cheaper than using the ink in your computer printer!

Masks are ideal for wedding pages and very easy to work with. Just put the mask down on the scrapbooking paper – it is adhesive but completely repositionable. With a toning ink begin to dab around the mask using a sponge or blender. Tim Holtz masks are transparent which means that what you see is what you get.  As you color areas of the page with your distress inks, blending and shading as you go, the area under the mask remains the same. Your background can be as subtle or as striking as you like, depending on the colors you choose. Using a fine water spray you can spread and blend the distress ink colors creating one of the mottled paper designs you see in expensive collections, only this time you are in control and can choose the right colors for your photos and layout.  If you plan to put your photos in the middle, concentrate the ink effects towards the edge. It’s easy to shade top to bottom or right to left, when you are in control of the shading! You can use this technique as often as you like – let the ink dry, move the flourish mask and work with another color, or use a different mask entirely. You can create wonderful effects by using masks and stamps together, create delicate, shaded backgrounds and stamp on top in white or grey ink this time, or leave the mask in place and stamp over that. Touches of gleaming gold can create a luxurious effect, and of course you can always add that touch of transparent glitter!

Weddings are intensely personal, and while there are many beautiful wedding papers, tags, frames and embellishments available to buy, nothing is quite the same as creating your own unique pages for your own family wedding.  Once the pictures and other items are added, you not only have a wedding scrapbook, you have a family heirloom, ready to tell your story to generations yet to come.

Several Ideas To Improve Your Online Scrapbooking Activities

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Online scrapbooking has reached a very advanced level given the number of materials available on the Internet and the numerous tools that appear every day. Traditionally scrapbooks are artistic albums that tell the story of an even through photos, yet, things are no longer the same, and scrapbooking has turned into an artistic form of expression. In the digital age, the number of possibilities overwhelms and thrills any creative mind.

Software tools assist one in the scrapbooking efforts, and they don’t even require installation on the PC if you conduct all the tasks online. The only difficulty here is that the user often knows too little of online scrapbooking and doesn’t have a clue about what programs to choose and where to really start. Here are a few recommendations that could improve online scrapbooking a lot.

1. Keep everything simple. A scarpbooking software has to be user-friendly. Try more models before you can decide for one in particular.

2. The more you experiment with online scrapbooking tools, the better your chances of creating a unique album. By flexibility I mean that you can design your page layouts and change colors as you see most appropriate. Some online scarpbooking programs will only give you access to a limited number of pre-designed templates while others will offer you thousands to choose from.

3. Photo importing features are incredibly important for any online scrapbooking hobbyist. Once you select the photos to include in the digital scrapbook, they have to be imported into the editing software. Check the options and the settings that online scrapbooking programs allow for, in order to prevent the inconvenience of software limitations.

4. Online scrapbooking depends on photo editing tools. Thus, you should be able to create special effects, correct picture flaws, crop images or adjust them in a particular way. You won’t be able to achieve so much without the right software.

5. Decorations are an integrated part of online scrapbooking with all the fonts, frames and clipart included here. These allow for different changes of the patterns and the inclusion of various visual effects in the background.

There are other elements that you may have to check in order to complete online scrapbooking successfully, but it shouldn’t be too difficult as the conditions we’ve mentioned above are at least partly met. The number of programs that allow for online scrapbooking is quite high and therefore, choices are not limited at all. Have fun!

People who are very fond of scrapbooking will certainly make a scrapbooking armoire for the hours they dedicate to their hobby. The scrapbooking armoire is a place in the house where you have your work desk, some storage space and all the tools and supplies necessary to make nice albums. The armoire is a better alternative to any regular table because it leaves enough space for work. Not to mention that the neat and compact look contributes greatly to the overall impression.

If you have special needs or you want to make a match between the style of the furniture and the scrapbooking armoire, you can expect higher expenses. If you get a foldable armoire and a number of small shelves, you’ll be able to store all the tools and accessories as you fit on either side of the unit. The need for such an item can be more or less intense depending on how committed you are to scrapbooking. Professional designers, serious scrapbookers and anyone who takes this occupation for a profession will certainly need a customized scrapbooking armoire in order to correspond to all of the eventual artistic challenges.

How I Made A Themed Scrapbook For My Mother On Her Day

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

As Mother’s Day comes around all scrapbookers will want to create a scrapbook layout – but for what purpose? Here are three things you should think about when considering a project like this.

1. Your Mom. Celebrate your Mother in a scrapbook or layout, large or small.

2. Your daughter. Scrapbooks get passed down to daughters. I don’t know why. If you are fortunate enough to have a daughter, think about adding a page to the special scrapbook you keep for her that shows something you and she have done in the past year.

3. You. Add to your own scrapbook special times you’ve spent with your mother, your daughter, or both!

If your mother is a scrapbooker herself, you might want to consider making a layout that she can attach to her own scrapbook. Feature moments or things that you did together within the year, or an event from your joint past. Go for a layout that is simple and uses colors that blend well with the photographs that you have. The relationship between Mother and Daughter can sometimes be quite challenging, so if you are having trouble coming up with just the right words to write you can use something like a rub on to display your feelings, or find a poem or a favorite quotation on quotegarden.com (search for ‘mothers’) that sums up your relationship. One of my favorites is from Milton Berle ‘If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?’

My mother and I have always had fun singing, so the best method for me to design a layout for her is to visualize one line from a song. She is also particularly fond of butterflies, so it’s always easy to find a theme for a page for her, and I enjoy creating colorful butterflies and flowers,  with the Garden Delight or Patterned Bug stamps from Inkadinkadoo. I usually stamp and emboss these onto colored card and cut them out,  but recently I’ve been experimenting with the Suakura embossing glaze pens, a fabulous way to make butterflies almost as colorful as the real thing. My latest page was made from the saying ‘Friends are Flowers in Nature’s Garden’ because I found we had lots of small pictures of our friends. I cut these into circles and made them the center of flowers. It was a two page layout with small 3D flowers along the lower border and stamped bugs and birds flitting among the blooms. A great big tag with the name of each friend finished off the page, tied with a toning ribbon. Flowers are always a safe theme for Mother’s Day, but try to make it as personal as possible by choosing her favorite flower, her favorite animal or at least her favorite color.

If your mother is not into scrapbooking, you can also create an entire scrapbook for her, but there is no need to do this alone yourself. This is a lovely project to do with your siblings, if you can get them interested. If that’s not the case and you have children, ask them what ‘Grandma’ means to them. Children don’t always get the chance to do this. Each one can contribute, if not a page, a picture and tag that says something about what ‘Mother’ or ‘Grandmother’ means to them. The great thing about scrapbooks is that professional portraits and kids drawings can all have equal importance, it’s the personal aspect that counts.

When choosing a theme for the whole scrapbook, how about a word. ‘Busy’ or ‘Creative’ would be just right for my Mom, or a simple color scheme of blues and lilacs; you can try looking for themed papers that can be associated with any of your mom’s interests. A friend of mine has a mother who has collected sheep all her life; cuddly sheep, china sheep, glass sheep, every kind of sheep, so when they put together a scrapbook for her 60th birthday, guess what was the theme! In the past I’ve created an album with a pineapple theme and another for a friend who was seriously into rabbits. Both really enjoyed their personalized scrapbooks, but if there is nothing personal you can think of, try to get inspiration from your Mother’s house. Her taste in decor are great sources for clues.

The things you will need for the entire scrapbook are

  • 1 album with page protectors

  • 20 good quality pieces of scrapbooking paper/card to use as a background. It’s best to choose background paper that comes in sets, or to make your own, using card, stamps and Distress Inks. You can see how it’s done in our YouTube video Ranger Distress Ink Ideas – just go to youtube and search for Dinglefootdotcom.

  • Double sided tape

  • 6 or more pages of contrasting papers. You can cut border, mattes and tags from these sheets.

  • Assorted brads, stamps and embellishments, for example

    • Amy Butler Fabric Covered Brads ~ K & Company — use these to attach tags and journalling papers

    • Amy Butler Belle Chipboard Alphabet – K & Company – use these to make heading for some pages

    • 20 Blossoms 12″ x 12″ Template ~ Hot Off the Press – use this template to create flower embellishments to add to your pages

    • some Tim Holz Distress Ink pads  – use to create patterns on plain background pages or to stamp and emboss with

  • A pen to write your journalling with, unless you plan to do this on a computer.

  • Other suggestions would include

    • and ink pad and embossing powder (gold and silver go with everything)

    • a paper punch to create cut outs on border or frames

    • some frames to place over your pictures

    • vellum to create focus on your pages

    • some mattes to place under other pictures

    • ribbon

    • some rubber stamps

    • Scrapbooking can be a good way to use up broken items, broken earrings, left over buttons can all be glued in to pages to make delightful embellishments.

In terms of photographs, you’ll need at least one for each event. Look for photographs that can tell a story about your mom’s life (ask friends and relatives if necessary) or simply concentrate on your life together. You can create an effective two page layout with just one picture on one page and some journalling on the other, but it can be boring if the whole album is the same. Try to vary the layouts and the shapes of the pictures so your pages don’t all look the same, but remember there is no right or wrong. The only opinions that count are yours and your mom’s.

If you don’t have time to create a scrapbook, buy your mother the next best thing, an introduction to scrapbooking as a hobby. A good book, an album to start with and a scrapbooking gift basket may be just the thing to get her started, and who knows what you might get, next year.

Data Related to Scrapbooking Pages that You Need to Know

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The success of scrapbooking pages very much depends on photo layout, journaling and various decorations. Scrapbooks preserve memories in a very special way, telling the story of an event. And the truth is that scrapbooks are closer to one’s heart than any other album. And even if beginning scrapbookers often lack the inspiration for their first page and they are simply at a loss about where to start, things will get much cleared the moment they view some examples of scrapbooking pages.

Decide on the theme of a certain album, and then move on to work on the full album concept. The title page and the journaling part will introduce any viewer to the topic that you’ve chosen. The viewer thus makes an idea about what he or she is about to see. Title scrapbooking pages usually contain one or two photos that are considered the most relevant for the entire album. Choose these pics really carefully because they are like the synthesis of the message that you want to send.

Some scrapbooking pages are adjustable meaning that you can add them even when the album is complete, while other scrapbooks are bound into a final form and do not allow for later modifications. It is really nice to have enough flexibility to add some more scrapbooking pages when the story is incomplete, and it remains to be continued later. All of the scrapbooking pages have to follow a common decorative style, either using the same embellishments or something pretty similar, so that there are no style discrepancies.

The paper or the digital background that you use of the scrapbooking pages need to complete the theme of the album, either by mirroring or adding depth to it. Consider the primary and the secondary colors in the photos, because if you pay attention to such details, your scrapbooking pages will look unitary, giving the impression of artistic achievement. Moreover, this adds a really nice dimension to the project.

The focus needs to remain on the photos even if you add lots of embellishments; decorations have to complement the pics not vice versa. Scrapbooking pages therefore require a certain balance in theme expression and background. Moreover, there should be a dominant style unifying all.
