Themes, layouts and inspirations
Not all things that you want to scrapbook are things that you want to glue or cut to fit your scrapbooking page. Envelopes are great ways to add things – just as they are – to your scrapbooking pages. Envelopes also add a sense of surprise for those who read your scrapbook, as they have to open the envelope to discover the contents.
This amazing Basket Shaped Mini Album from Traci is perfect for collecting all your Fall harvest, apple picking, pumpkin patch, farmers market, corn shucking, canning and jelly making, pie baking photos and recipes in.
She started with a white basket shaped acrylic mini album, decorating the cover and inside pages with the new Farmers Market collection from Doodlebug. On the cover is plaid pattern paper that looks like the woven part of the basket with a row of beautiful flowers and leaves in bold Fall colors along with a row of pumpkins, little bees and a sentiment. The album is held together with orange O rings with ribbon tied to the handle.
Inside she added traditional pages as well as pocket pages, flaps that open and recipe cards.

I’ve always wondered about this though… This and any 3-d embellishments… what scrapbooks are ya’ll using that don’t have clear protective pages? Or do they really put stuff in envelopes then take out the whole page from the book? I can’t get it to work and make sense in my brain and I’d really like to because we have some cards I’d love to keep!
