Five Things to do with Wood Veneer by Wilna Furstenberg
We all have some wood veneer in our stash. I think I have more than most people and when I was thinking of doing 5 things with one product, wood veneer shapes came to mind. Working smaller projects for this post, I found that I can pay more attention to details. Show More Summary

Five Ways to use Sequins on Your Layouts by Daphne Wünn-Rihm
What do you associate with sequins? Fancy dresses? Glittery tops? Sparkly high-heels? Glamorous bags? Well, yes – all of the above. But there is more about sequins! For quite a while now already you can spot them on scrapbooking projects, on cards or home decorations. Show More Summary
Scrapbooking the milestones of life [1]
The big events in life are such an extreme subject for scrapbookers: either the fabulous memories and fancier-than-usual photos inspire us to work on some of our favourite pages, or the landmark nature of the event fills us with fear of ever starting anything, worried we might ruin something by doing a less than stellar job with those special photos.

Get more from your scrapbooking investment
One of the side benefits of working with a series of guest posters is that sometimes their projects combine to teach me a big lesson. In this case, it was these two layouts, by Riikka Kovasin and Diana Besemer, that reminded me how fabulous...Show More Summary
Scrapbooking smaller photos
I suppose I could just be a big crafting contradiction, but I try to write it off as a need for variety: for as much as I love 4×6 prints for the majority of my photos, it can be rather fun to mix in smaller photos too. And I do love...Show More Summary
Scrapbooking with square photos
So far I haven’t joined the camp of scrapbookers who take pretty much all their photos with their phone, but I do take plenty with it. It’s just that I take a zillion with my ‘proper’ camera too! Though I don’t post anything near all...Show More Summary
Ideas for scrapbooking with divided page protectors
Whatever did we do before divided page protectors? I am not exactly sure. I didn’t sit around thinking I needed my page protectors divided into handy-dandy pockets, but they do seem to come in ever so useful that now I wouldn’t wantShow More Summary
Using paint on your scrapbook pages
I’m tempted to treat paint as the scrapbook supply with the greatest potential for mess, but I’ve actually made a lot more mess with bits of paper and those pesky backings from pop dots ending up all over the place than any paint disaster...Show More Summary
The Power of Three in Scrapbook Design
Sometimes I worry about the things I repeat ad nauseum in videos and blog posts. At this point, I don’t really need to tell you that I love the power of three in design. I almost feel like I should just let you have a go at identifying...Show More Summary
Scrapbooking with Fabric
Hands up: who collects fabric in much the same way as paper? I know I am not the only one. I am slightly better at using the paper than the fabric!
I haven’t had my sewing machine set up for quite some time, until just last week, soShow More Summary
Ideas for Recording Gratitude in your Scrapbooks
I think it’s still pretty common to get started in this craft as an ‘event scrapbooker’, right? I focused on events for years – birthdays, graduations, weddings, performances, parties, and that sort of thing. And I actually think that’s...Show More Summary
Line up small embellishments on your scrapbook page
The rhyme may go ‘pretty maids all in a row’, but in scrapbooking design terms, I tend to think it’s ‘pretty embellishments all in a row’, especially with those tiny bits and pieces we collect for our pages. Gathering them together in...Show More Summary
Scrapbooking double page layouts [1]
Believe it or not, there were several years of my scrapping wherein I only created double page layouts! Somewhere along the line that changed, and now they are the exception rather than the rule, but I actually love for all my albums to have a few double pages mixed in with all the single pagers.

Scrapbooking with American Crafts Papers
Sometimes you just fall in love with a scrapbook line so much that you barely even look at the paper previews before you add it all to your shopping cart. I’m that way with American Crafts papers, and they’ve been some of my most-used papers for many years. Show More Summary
Dear Scrapbook... journaling in a letter format
Writing a letter can be one of the simplest ways to get out of the feeling that writing on a scrapbook page is some sort of exam or essay that will be marked and red penned. I probably write more handwritten letters to places (see also...Show More Summary
Add some sparkle to your scrapbook pages [1]
You know, for someone who loves sparkle as much as I do, I have a relatively low glitter factor on my actual pages. In almost every case, the glitter on my scrapbook pages comes in the form of glitter Thickers letter stickers, which is a relatively low-mess way to add a bit of sparkle to any design.

How to make a mood board for scrapbooking inspiration
Lately we call them mood boards. A few years ago we called them inspiration boards, and before that they were just bulletin boards, but they all serve the same purpose: a place to pin visual inspiration to help curate your style and develop new ideas that combine different aspects of a bunch of other things.

Is a digital cutter just what your scrapbooking needs?
When I think of my crafting tools, I tend to thing of things that are all powered by hand in one way or another – stamps, punches, even my printing press doesn’t work without its share of elbow grease! There are relatively few things in my crafting space that actually have to be plugged in – the sewing machine, the embossing gun. Show More Summary
