Tidbit Tuesday

Before tossing or donating household items, consider how they could be repurposed as scrapbook storage. For example, CD cases are ideal for storing clear stamps and a colander works well hung from the underside of a shelf with ribbons poking down through the holes.

Do you have a favorite scripture verse or a song that tells of your beliefs?  Use that as a jumping off point for a scrapbook page documenting your faith.

Don't overlook your sewing machine as a tool for scrapbooking.  You can utilize a straight stitch, zig-zag, long, or short stitches.  Use stitching to outline a journaling box or a photo, or create a punched-hole design on your page with an unthreaded needle.

Pens, pencils, and markers are tools you use all the time.  Keeping them handy and visible will eliminate any excuses not to journal.  Be sure to store your pens horizontally so that the ink flows smoothly.

Enjoy the process of scrapbooking as much as the product.  Completing a layout or an entire scrapbook is very satisfying, but remember to relax and enjoy the journey along the way!

If you have the energy (and can still find your camera), take a picture of the mess right after a big event.  This part of the story is often overlooked, yet sometimes makes for telling photos.
