Scrapbooks Etc.

I can't wait to get my copy. I've noticed a lot of scrap and craft mags talking about using mag. clippings, packaging and wrapping paper in layouts and have wondered about the archival part. I know there are sprays but the one at my local Michael's costs $40.00 a can!

If it is flat enough I will use anything, yes I mean anything like q-tips, washers you name it.

I have used the Lewiston Livestock auction cards my husband brings home each week to use as journaling spots for his cattle/cowboy pages. They also have made a great mini-album.

I have used the coffee wrappers ...we closed the coffee shop so I like them alot! They make a great mini album ..

I've been saving the clear plastic disks from the top of the CD stacks and the foam "washers" from them too. Have to see what the new issue has. Maybe it will help me decide how to use them.

When i got a cellphone holder there was a chipboard iphone in it s a display. I cant wait to use it! I also use things like train tickets, and maps!

Ive traced cookie cutters for die cuts, Ive used Postcards, Ticket Stubs and Gift wrapping paper.

Great idea, Laurie. I've just got to remember to buy them before coming home!

when I go to fun themed restaurants like bubba gump I ask for takeawy or paper menus to use as a background in a page.

I collect the little tags they put on your clothes at the dry cleaners-mine are pink and will make a cute border on a girlie page.

i save everything. maps, menus, flyers and always buy postcards as well. if i think i may be able to use it somewhere at some point ive got it.

I just used real leaves from the back yard that have falllen from these gorgeous trees. I preserve them by applying decopauge or modge podge and they stay pliable and keep their color too! Awesome!

children's clothing tags

My scrapbook area is already a mess with my supplies...now with all of these great ideas, I see more "stuff" in my future! Thanks everyone!

Clothing tags!! Love 'em. :o)

I was doing a page on my child and his love of bacon. I couldn't find any bacon stickers but if found bacon bandaids. They were too cool!

cool ideas!

paper peice some bacon

I have used leaves from outside as well and applied a layer of 3-D glass finish...looks cool alone, but really cool if you crack it a little bit. I have also used maps, washers, tickets, pop can tabs heated and dipped in embossing powder make cute buckles/ribbon slides, junk mail, sandpaper, coloring books for paper piecing patterns. I've even cut a button off my husbands shirt to match a layout I was working on... :~ Shhhh...
