Ways To Use Your Scrapbooking Creativity
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 and 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! Anything is possible. Just use your imagination and let your
creativity run wild!
