Scrapbook.com’s Announcement

March 22, 2011  |  design  |  , ,

So I was checking up on Scrappy’s blog and saw that Scrapbook.com just made a big announcement, they now have over 30,000 unique scrapbooking products to choose from.  30,000 seems like so many, I didn’t realize that there could be that many different products to choose from for just scrapbooking.  The industry has really exploded!

So yesterday, after I posted the ‘make your own stamps’ post, I ran across ANOTHER make your own stamps post that was even easier and thought I might as well post it today.  I left myself a note and everything.  However, today it doesn’t look as cool to me as it did yesterday but I don’t care, it is still cool and I’m going to post it anyway.  It’s Sunday.  Have fun making even easier stamps!

Other Fab Ways to Display Photos (Aside From Scrapping)

March 18, 2011  |  design  |  , ,

I ran across a really cool article on how to display photos in aesthetically pleasing and creative ways, minus a scrapbook.  I know that this is a scrapbooking blog, but let’s face it, if ALL of your photos ended up in a scrapbook then you’d have a TON of scrapbooks.  Tell me I’m wrong, I dare you.

So on Suzonne Stirling’s blog she includes a lot of fancy, cheap, DIY projects for displaying all those other photos that you have.  I wanted to show you one of the ones that I thought was nifty, you should check out the entire article for more ideas.

This Flower Card is really nice.  It doubles as its own envelope.  Stick it in a scrapbook for some hidden journaling or to hold different items that you’d like to keep in the scrapbook.  Or use to just give to someone.  I saw it on lilmagoolie.com.  Check it out.
