Scrapbooking is a favorite pastime for many individuals and one great way to use scrapbooking skills is to create an illustrated birthday calendar in book form. This would be an innovative way to remember all the birthdays of relatives, friends, co-workers and even business acquaintances.
Whether you’re creating an album with pictures you collected from your grandma’s attic or just want to create an old-fashioned feeling on your scrapbook pages, antiquing the edges of your pages adds texture to vintage pages. Antiquing, also known as distressing, is the process of making your pages look old, worn or weathered. Depending on the look you want to achieve, antiquing can be subtle – just a darkened or slightly curled edge, for example – or thoroughly distressed, with torn, burned or heavily inked edges. Experiment with different effects until you achieve exactly the antique appearance you want.
Scrapbooking helps you preserve your family's most memorable moments, but it is impossible to do in a disorganized area with little tabletop space. Scrapbook magazines feature rooms with ideal floor-to-ceiling storage that are a scrapper's utopia, but these extensive storage units come with a hefty price tag. Make your own scrapbooking desk and storage system to organize the space according to your own needs, at a fraction of the cost.
Experiencing the stories of one's life is the easy part. Writing down your memories -- that's a little trickier. Use your memories and your creativity to make a homemade scrapbook, starring you. An autobiography scrapbook, whether it is a gift for your children or a keepsake for yourself, is an inexpensive and artistic way to document the important events and moments of your life.
Developing a family cookbook offers an opportunity for bonding in and out of the kitchen and dining area. Casually ask kids questions while cooking to gather information related to their favorite dishes. Avoid asking at the dinner table to ensure that crafty little minds don't seize the opportunity to reject food they don't feel like eating. Numerous options are available when determining sections for the book.
