Scrapbooking Ideas and More

Over the Labour Day week-end I found myself absolutely out of things to do around the house. My boyfriend and I decided to go a local big-box store. As I was browsing through the aisle I came across a ton of scrapping booking kit. Each of them had their individual themes such as; baby, Birthday, family and much more. I love crafts and DIY projects so I grabbed a kit got home and I now have a new hobby! Scrapbooks are more appealing than just regular photo albums because you can add alot more than just photos!

Scrapbooks also make beautiful inexpensive gifts to give to friends & family members .

Ideas of themes for a scrapbook:
Vacation: Next time your on vacation bring back small things you can put in your scrapbook such as; white sand, currency, Resort/Hotel brochure (Usually have photos of hotel + rooms),
plane tickets anything that will remind you of how beautiful and great your vacation was.

Relationship with spouse: My first scrapbook was using this team I put photos and reminders of all the wonderful dates and our 2 anniversaries. It was really fun to look at it together afterwards and reminisce.

Baby boy or Girl: Expecting soon? Scrapbook your whole pregnancy you can always look back and remember those precious 9 months of your life :)

Other ideas: Family, elementary school, graduation, pets, wedding, Holidays, recipes  etc.

Ideas for supplies needed:

If your purchasing a kit be sure to see what`s included so you don`t purchased anything twice!

-Stickers
-Letters & numbers (either stickers or cardboard)
-Ribbon
