Cheap & Easy Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is a way of keeping memoirs in an attractive form. You need not purchase expensive supplies from the local scrabooking shop but can make your own.

Minimum Items Required

• clip folder
• plastic sleeves
• coloured paper
• white paper
• photos
• stickers
• glue
• scissors
• black pen

Method

• Choose the person/thing you are going to make the page about, then choose a peice of coloured paper and arrange the photos on it.
• Next, choose a contrasting colour which can be added to the back ground to help make it more interesting.
• You can make stripes, flowers, clouds or just boxes to stick on the background. It really is up to the imagination.
• Ensure that you leave enough space to do a small write up for the page, explaining who/what it is about.
• Stick everything down and allow to dry. You may want to rest a heavy book on the top so that it doesn't curl from the drying glue.
• Decorate with stickers.
  
• Place in the plastic sleeve and clip into the clip folder.

If you are going to send it away as a gift then you will, at a later date, be able to send more pages in plastic sleeves to be added to it.
You can also capture your child's art this way instead of stuffing peices of paper away in some box.
