I have come across a new paper saving template that I’ll include in my scrapbooking tools. The 12″X12″ template measures the same size as scrapbooking paper and offers different layout options for a scrapbook page. It also features four pre-cut corners that provide exact guidelines for cutting out a section of the scrapbook page so you can add a piece of 81/2″X11″ scrapbook paper for coordinating color. You can then use the piece of heavier
scrapbooking paper included in your scrapbooking tools that you’ve cut out to create layers for photos or other coordinating elements for your page. By doing so, you save paper, which is where the name of the template comes from. You can purchase the paper saving templates to include in your scrapbooking tools in packages.
An organized workspace and scrapbooking storage leads to an organized mind. Here are a few tips to help you keep your workspace and mind organized.
Create files for your scrapbook paper, and store all of like items together. This includes markers, scrapbook stickers, templates, punches, stamps, scissors, pens, etc. When each one of the items above is in a separate container and labeled, you know right where to look. There’s no time wasted looking.
You are also less likely to purchase identical items by looking in the labeled containers, so money is saved.
Use the type of scrapbooking storage devices you desire, and keep all of your scrapbooking supplies in one place.
By using good scrapbooking storage, all of your supplies and scrapbooking tools stay tidy and undamaged. You also have more time to pursue your favorite hobby, scrapbooking.
What’s the quickest and simplest way to scrapbook? Simply scrapbooking kits, of course. Scrapbooking is one of America’s fastest growing hobbies, but this popular and rewarding pastime doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. Color-coordinated scrapbooking kits and self-adhesive punch-outs take the guesswork out of scrapbooking and produce beautifully coordinated scrapbook pages. You can even use these scrapbooking kits to make amazing cards!
With self-adhesive punch-outs combine the ease of scrapbook stickers with the sturdiness of card stock. The punch-outs are printed on heavy-weight paper so you can layer them on top of each other just like scrapbooking paper. With these dimensionals, the punch-outs pop right off the page and are repositional for the first few moments, so if you change your mind, you can carefully remove them without tearing the card stock or the punch-out.
The punch-outs can also be cut if you’re unhappy with the original shape.
You can also also use your scrapbooking kits with other items from your scrapbooking tools.
Nothing will give you a more proud feeling than using stamps or stickers from your scrapbooking tools to design an expression of love card for Valentine’s Day. Start by choosing a script background that you want to use, and either stamp the phrase or use a sticker phrase on opposite corners of your card. Then tear off the edge of the front flap. Use your hobby knife from your scrapbooking tools and cut two slits in the front of the card, and tie a strip of matching color scrapbooking paper between the slits.
Sponge the edges of another strip of corresponding colored card stock strip with matching ink, then slip this card stock strip through the slits on the card. Either choose a large heart sticker or stamp a heart in varsamark ink on white card stock, sprinkle with embossing powder, heat set with a heat tool, then sponge the embossed image with ink. Cut out the image and attach it to the card.

Using punches from your scrapbooking tools results in creative, handmade cards and scrapbook pages and general goodwill among everyone of your viewers. These diverse tools can be used be used to help promote your creativity. Punches are easy to use and offer you many options for your crafting.
Many of the punches work wonderfully for effortless layering, a technique that creates a finished look for almost any accent. Circle and square punches make layering with alphabet sets quick and easy, while concave and convex square punches also work marvelously when you want to layer your images.
In addition, several of the punches can be layered on stamped images as well to create a dimensional look. Try stamping a gift box image on a metal edge tag, then punch a convex square, stamp it with the same image, and layer it over the image on the metal edge tag.
Having these punches in your scrapbooking tools allows you to quickly and easily stamp a title, greeting or image, then layer it on coordinating scrapbooking paper. You’ll be amazed at how great your pages or cards look!

Cards made with your scrapbooking paper can show spring flowers, snowflakes, or bright sunshine. The look depends on the designs that you choose. Stamp sets can allow your viewer to take a leisurely stroll through a favorite vacation. There are a variety of vintage and collage styles that you can achieve with the right stamp set.
With the right choice of scrapbooking paper and a collage-style set, stamping is simple enough even for the beginning stamper, but offers enough unique beauty and grace to hook an experienced crafter. Collage stamping creates a vintage look by just using the right ink pads. Flavor can be added to cards by background stamping, whether by repeatedly using one stamp or by employing a background pattern. But the style encourages individual expression as you strike out to experiment with the collage look in your art.

My granddaughter is a senior in high school. She only has a few months left before she goes off to university. She doesn’t know it, but her mother has been sending me photos all year long to compile into a scrapbook my granddaughter can take with her to university. I’m hoping to have the whole thing put together by her graduation party.
Putting together this scrapbook has been a wonderful experience. I just love seeing all the photos of my granddaughter looking so happy with her friends and being so involved in school activities. The project has also been fun because my granddaughter’s school’s colors are orange, black, and white – Halloween colors! I’ve been able to use lots of funky looking Halloween scrapbook paper on each page.
Shadows on scrapbooking pages always catch the eye, and we scrapbookers enjoy learning how to create a shadowy illusion of depth on our projects in fun, interesting ways. With a flick of the wrist, we can create a customized accent or border that adds an amazing 3-D look to any project.
Creating this look is surprisingly easy. Use a handle and wheel from your scrapbooking tools and roll the wheel on scratch paper until the entire wheel is completely inked: begin with the darker ink first. Next, find the seam on the wheel, and position it even with the edge of the paper. Carefully roll the image onto the scrapbooking paper. Clean off the wheel, and completely ink your wheel again.
Then, locate the seam again before the spot where you began on the first roll. Now carefully roll the lighter image on top of the darker image, creating a wonderful dry-embossed look.
Be certain that you include a wheel and handle in your scrapbooking tools for designing shadows.
