Scrapbooking For Less

With all the bells and whistles now available for scrapbooking, it is easy to overlook what you may already have on hand to use for scrapbooking. Rather than spending loads of money on stickers, stamps and or die-cuts, start looking at what you have left over from the experience you want to preserve.

• Use your children’s artwork or schoolwork to frame your child’s pictures. Every week while your child is in school they generate loads of paperwork that can include one of a kind pictures/artwork, unique stories, and examples of their work that you can use to show how wonderful your child was at their age.

• Using your ticket stubs can allow you to show what venue you visited, the date and time of the event and can even make note of who all went if you use all the tickets.
