Scrapbooking Ideas

Scrapbooking Ideas – What to Scrapbook.

Want to scrapbook but don’t know WHAT to scrapbook?  Do you have too many ideas and need some direction or do you simply need scrapbook ideas because you are fresh out?

Why not…consider creating a scrapbook around the following:

  1. Graduation Scrapbook Ideas (supplies / quotes):  Make the cover of the scrapbook a grad cap with the tassle, or make the entire scrapbook digital – print the pages  & then present it as a scroll with a nice graduation style seal on it.  You can also select your titles, journal entries or simply get inspired from one of the many inspirational graduation quotes we found from quote garden.
  2. Love Scrapbook Ideas (supplies / quotes):  Make the album from heart shaped chipboard (bought at any scrapbook supplies store) or form the album from a 3×6 album with the letters LOVE on the front. (You can even use thin wooden letters (or chipboard) and make some of them bleed off of the edges).  Of course you can also go wedding album style if you are already married or are planning to share your love scrapbook at your upcoming wedding.   Don’t forget to include old cards, photo’s of gifts or precious moments shared on valentines, birthdays or holidays. Of course you could also add a few traditional love poems or love quotes to your romantic scrapbook album too.  Don’t forget another option (if your significant other is willing to be crafty) is to create a couples album.  That’s a nice way to celebrate your love too.  The two of you working together on a he said | she said album can be a LOT of fun!

  3. Baby Scrapbook Ideas (supplies / quotes):  Make a diaper album!  Yes, that’s right – you can get really creative with your next baby album by lining a diaper (yes, I said a diaper) with a chipboard album, wrapping the front and back covers with ribbon and tying that ribbon and fringing it on the tops and bottoms of the covers….!!!  (A crop-a-dile will do the trick of punching the wholes through all materials quite nicely too (yes, some trimming might need to take place depending on the make of diaper – but if you are a creative person, I am certain you can figure out how to make that work :) .  Then, you can use a hot glue gun to stick titles and / or embellishments on the front.  If you wish to ditch the diaper for a moment, you can also create a vertical baby bottle shaped scrapbook – or even a simple 3×6 album with the word BABY on the front.

  4. Travel Scrapbook Ideas (supplies / quotes):  Traveling is way too fun!  And scrapbooking about travel is even more fun.  You can take any old daytimer / calendar and turn it into a scrapbook (as long as it’s built well).  You can also shape / decorate your album like luggage or beach towels. (I would wrap my cover in beach towel if I were scrapbooking about travels somewhere hot and sunny).  Furthermore you can use a whole string of luggage tags and make an album out of those together (very small pages mind you – but different).  Don’t forget to include your ticket stubs, local brochures and any other memorabilia you collected on the trip as well.  The travel quotes are endless as well – but here are a few to get you started.
  5. Disney Scrapbook Ideas (supplies / quotes): Now who doesn’t absolutely adore Disney.  Okay – maybe if you have never been to disneyland or disneyworld the novelty of it all fades to gray most days…but if you have been there…you know that it truly is one of the most magical places on earth!  I fully comprehend why so many people want to work there…but I actually want to LIVE there!  I would love to spend my weekends riding the coaster at space mountain or enduring the journey of Indiana Jones and breaking the mystery of the big ball (and how they do that!!! ????)…so why not preserve the memories of it all in a scrapbook?  I can not think of any valid reason why not.  It’s scrapbookers heaven! The photo’s are full of life, adventure and color!  The theme packs and paper packs and even albums are one of a kind (literally).  You can go full bling or totally earthy and there is still a place for disney amongst it all.  Disney is for everyone.  Just take a peek at any Disney Travel website and you will not.  For all intents and purposes your disney scrapbook can be anything you can dream of. You can create a mickey mouse album shape (a little harder than pancakes mind you – but creative nonetheless) and call it a day or you can simply gather everything and anything disney scrapbooking related  that you can find and let those supplies guide you!  The ideas and supplies are endless.  You can find something disney in your local scrapbooking store or even on ebay.  I do recommend searching the supplies first and then building from there. Or you could start with Disney Quotes too.

Happy scrapping….

      Hello Marie,

      Chipboard is going to be your easiest to acquire. most affordable and most durable cover for a homemade scrapbook album. You will however need something like a Crop-A-Dile to punch the wholes for your rings as some chipboard is REALLY thick/dense and needs a heavy duty punch.

      As an alternative to this, you might also want to consider GrungeBoard. It’s extremely flexible – thereby making your album covers soft and bendy – but it won’t tear! As far as I can tell this stuff seems to have rubber like properties; it just bounces back to position no matter what you do to it.

      Good luck with your covers. I’d love to see what you did when you are done. Can you post it to our gallery?
