Themes, layouts and inspirations
 My Treasure Box is a website that offers pre-made scrapbooks to be customized by individuals. I think this is a great way to introduce people to the scrapbooking habit in a non-overwhelming way. I know that scrapbooking can seem a little overwhelming at first, with all of the supplies to buy and gather, but a pre-made set like this could really help someone see how much fun scrapbooking is!

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.
Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.
There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.
Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.

So cute! I love this idea. Actually one of the ideas I’ve tossed around for someone that could possibly on my list (tossed around before names were drawn, just in case anyone’s following 😉 ) on my list is a semi-premade scrapbook. Put in the papers and tags and leave places for 4 by 6 pictres. Include a roll of double sided stick tabs and a pan for any labeling and a gift card for snapfish. It’s perfect for this one person because she loves photos and using her own but totally doesn’t have to time to really scrapbook very often but that’s something she do.
