Don’t Just Scrapbook Occasions

Sometimes we only scrapbook occasions. That is okay but it doesn’t tell the whole story of our lives. I do take some time and scrapbook the little things that make up my life. Technology is forever changing at a fast rate and it seems like we cannot keep up with it. That is why I scrapbooked about our TV’s. From our first Black and white to my flat screen with PVR it tells how TV has evolved in my years…something that my kids can think about in a few years themselves and remember some of what I am talking about.

I did have so much to say and describe that I had to hide it behind one of the photos. To do this I used our Flip Flap memory Protectors. So you see, that these flip flaps have another purpose that to strictly add more photos.

Using Postcards on Layouts

Do you ever take photos of places you seen on a holiday only to get home and find out that they did not turn out? That is what happened to me when I went to Washington in 2010. It was a good thing I bought a packet of postcards, so that is what I scrapbooked this page with.

While I was in Washington I also picked up a couple of brochures of the places that we seen. So I made the left hand page into a pocket page. That way I can store the brochures and extra postcards with the pages.

To do that all I did was make the layout as I normally do then cut the top off just above the striped piece. Then I glued that onto another 12x12 base page and only glued the sides and the bottom leaving the top with no adhesive so I can tuck my brochures in. So my title is actually on the back base page and the rest is on the front of the pocket.
