We all yearn to belong to something that inspires us, encourages us, and lifts us to become better than we are alone. As scrapbookers, we are committed to living life with joy, creativity, and style.
Whether we use our scrapbooking tools, scrapbook paper, and other accessories through home decor and decoration, scrapbooking card making, holiday crafts, or album scrapbooking, we learn to balance the demands that we face as we live our lives in today’s hectic world. For me, I have achieved a way that brings satisfaction and fulfillment, rewards and happiness through my great hobby of scrapbooking.
Bring this old time-honored look to your scrapbooking projects. You can make dazzling scrapbooking pages or scrapbooking card making using this mosaic technique.
Choose a few of your favorite coordinating colors for your project. You’ll only need small pieces of paper for the idea. Cut the scrapbook paper that you’ve chosen into various geometric shapes. Experiment with different shapes and sizes for a unique look. Then arrange the mosaic pieces on your base as desired, and glue. Cut away excess material from pieces that might hang over the edge of your base. Finally, apply versamark ink with a brayer and heat emboss it with emboss powder. This will create a nice glossy “tile” finish. Have fun!

When people think of birthday cards, they invariably think of Hallmark. Over the years, they have absolutely dominated the greeting card market. But does that necessarily make them the best? While they certainly have the largest and most diverse selection, they have also taken a bit of abuse from critics who say their cards have become altogether too specific. A typical card might read, “Happy birthday to my seven year old grandson.” But you have to ask yourself, how many people could really use that card?
Some people have even resorted to altering these overly specific cards. If somebody likes the picture or thinks the card is funny, that person will simply cross out the non-relevant information. If, for example, the card is for your nephew, the word grandson will be unceremoniously scribbled out. If you find yourself frustrated by this situation, consider the alternative of custom greeting cards. The ability to create personalized messages ensures that your card is completely accurate and heartfelt every time.
Holidays are always a great excuse to be in contact with the people you love, and one of the easiest ways to let these people know you’re thinking of them is by sending a greeting card. Whether it’s for Easter, Christmas, or Valentine’s Day, a greeting card is a great way to express that you love, miss, or are simply thinking about somebody. But not all greeting cards are created equal. In fact, it can be incredibly difficult to find a card that expresses the exact sentiment that you feel.
If you’ve ever walked up and down the greeting card aisle in frustration because you couldn’t find that one perfect card, know that there are better options. Simply create your own with some basic card making supplies. These cards let you create the message, so you don’t have to fit somebody else’s words to your particular feelings or situation. These cards are always a treat for the recipient, because the card itself contains personalized names and information. These cards are sure to be cherished.
