Scrapbook Tips

These are a some of my favorite scrapbooking tips:

Always make a second set of your photos.

Try to use papers that show off your photo, versus take away from the photo. After all, the focus should be on the photo, not the design of the paper.

Add dates to the back of your photos so that when you're ready to add them to your scrapbook, you'll remember when they were taken.

Always test the stamp prior to stamping onto the final paper.

Keep all those old buttons. Buttons make great embellishments on scrapbook pages.

To take photos of your layout, put the page on the floor and stand above it. Always take the photo in daylight.

Keep a disposable camera your trunk or glove box for those unexpected photo opportunities.

Make your own "Prima" flowers by using flower punches.
