Scrap Booking Supplies-Great Tools for a Unique Project

Here are some ideas for a great looking scrap book. First, include quotes on your scrapbook pages. This will make your scrap book unique and help you remember what was going on at the time. Some ideas are: famous quotes from the era or quotes from people in the pictures. For babies you can include their first words.

Velcro is a great tool for adhering scrap book embellishments. Some new things in scrap booking are interactive actives pages. Velcro is great for that.

Craft punches are tools that come in a variety of shapes. One bad thing about them is the size. The punched shapes are usually only an inch or two in dimension. A solution is using a copier to enlarge your previously cut out shape to use as a template.

Stickers are an economical way to add flair to your scrap book, but make sure you don't overdue it.

Sometimes getting your photos straight can be a challenge. The secret is to use a pencil to draw where you want the picture. Place the photo mounts in opposite corners on the item, and then place them on the page using the pencil marks. Then apply the photo mounts on the two existing corners. If you are using lick and stick, use a sponge instead of licking because saliva contains acid.

There are many uses for patterned scrap book paper that aren't very time consuming. Use vellum or a transparency to cover your patterned paper. Cut out accents, like shapes or letters and use them for a theme such as cutting out the word "touchdown" from football paper to use with a sports theme. Cut or tear the patterned paper into shapes. The shapes don't have to be objects, just start cutting, use your imagination. Use patterned paper for matting, just cut it -1/2 inch bigger than the photo. Buy the same brand of paper to ensure the colors will match.

To sore your scrap book album and keep it in good condition for years to come, keep it in a dry place, away from humidity, extreme cold or heat, in an upright position, and out of direct sunlight.

Some important tools for the beginning scrap booker are: eyelet setter, decorative scissors and paper trimmer. As you become more familiar with scrap booking you will have an idea of what tools you like, but these are excellent to start out with.

I hope you have found this article useful in your scrap booking endeavors. Happy Scrap Booking!
