Unique Scrapbook Ideas. Scrapbooking Hobby and Business
Make a recipe book
Is your family known for tasty foods? If so, take some
of those recipes and create a homemade recipe scrapbook. Doing so is
very easy and you have a lot of options. A scrapbook with a
recipe theme can be the start of a family tradition.
To make a recipe scrapbook, write the recipe on a sheet of paper or,
print out the directions with your computer. You can do so on themed
or decorated paper. Speaking of decorated paper, use a full
sheet as your background. Pick a food related theme, such as
fruits and vegetables. Glue the recipe onto the page and
create a border around it. You can also add stickers, ribbons,
and photographs of the dishes to the page.
Make recipe cards
In addition to making a full size scrapbook, you can use your
creativity and love for Scrapbooking to make recipe cards.
Aside from your everyday scrapbook supplies, you can use a large
blank index card. Decorate the card just like you would a
scrapbook page.
In addition to creating recipe cards, make a personalized
recipe box using scrapbook supplies on a small box made of
cardboard. Unfinished wood recipe boxes are also available for
sale in many craft stores. You can paint it for a unique look
that matches your handmade recipe cards.
Make a board book
Many parents scrapbook important milestones in the lives of their
children. Most wait until their the children are at an age
that they can truly appreciate a scrapbook and the meaning behind
it. It you do not want to wait, select a board book instead. Blank
board books are for sale at online suppliers and in craft stores.
Use them to create a mini-scrapbook for small children.
In addition to creating a mini-scrapbook highlighting your child’s
greatest moments, you can also choose a different theme. For
example, the perfect theme for toddlers and preschoolers is the
alphabet. Continue to decorate your child’s book like a
scrapbook, but instead of photographs, use clipart. For the
letter A, include a picture of an apple, ant, or both.
Frame individual scrapbook pages. When it comes to
scrapbooking, many of us envision full size scrap books packed to
capacity and this is how many scrap bookers work. Try this unique
option, make individual scrapbook pages, as opposed to books. The
pages can be framed and displayed around your home or given as
gifts.
Create a screensaver or computer background. Parents and
people that treasure relationships with friends and family often
display pictures on their computer, as either a background image or
a screensaver. Aside from using plain digital photos, you can
use your scrapbook pages. This is easiest with a digital
scrapbook, but handmade scrapbook pages can be scanned and uploaded
to a computer.
As you can see, there are a many ways that you can use your love for
scrapbooking to create other works of art. In fact, these are just a
few of your many options.
