Why Do You Scrapbook?

Comments

  1. I scrapbook because I just can’t stand plain old photo albums. I love making things pretty, and I love color and pattern and how all of it fits together to make a beautiful page to go with a beautiful picture and moment.

  2. Randa – I totally agree. I love the accent that scrapbooking can give to an already beautiful moment.

    Thanks for answering!

  3. For me it’s because I love pictures. I started collecting scrapbook paper about 5 years before I ever gave thought to scrapbooking. I love the patterened papers and creating things that really preserve our memories beautiful.

  4. I love scrapbooking because I enjoy finding new ways to express my creativity. I also like being able to take a photo and expand on it, by finding paper and embellishments that create a story. I think every part of scrapbooking, from taking the initial picture to adding the final touches on a page, is fun!

Crafty Themed Mini Scrapbook Album

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.
