Alternative Scrap-booking

Alternative Scrap-booking
Aah, the feel of the pages moving past your fingers. The sweet song of reminiscing as you flip through photos to choose just the one for your page. Fingers fly as you carefully execute the layout in your mind for the stickers, embellishments and anything else you want to add to enhance your photos. Finally, the page is complete and added to your already burgeoning scrapbook. Scrap-booking has become one of the joys of my life because it allows me to express myself and capture life for my children. Unfortunately, I have found once a book is complete, it sits forlorn until someone decides to take the time to look through it. Favorite pages are forgotten until they are read again. It's a shame! There is hope, though! I have discovered several ways to savor and share my favorite pages over and over again ... Frames, Shadow Boxes and Photacular!
Taking your scrapbook page to Kinko's, Staples or some other copy place is a great way to snap out several copies of your perfect page. Frames are readily available at every hobby or retail store out there. Simply personalize your frame with any decor you wish and add the scrapbook page. Viola! Your page for the world to see or to give as a gift.
Shadow boxes are a bit harder for me, but fun nonetheless. I have found the most inexpensive boxes can be had at such retail stores as Target. Again, make a photo copy of your page and re-size it to fit inside your shadow box. This is easily done at any copy store. Now you can add whatever tokens, memorabilia or decorations you want to enhance your page. Unfortunately, shadow boxes cannot be readily duplicated and so are reserved for those pages you would like to keep for yourself.
Online photo gift sites have quickly become my favorite place to turn scrapbook pages into treasured keepsakes. Like Photacular, Snapfish, My Publisher and a few others out there, you can turn any favorite photo into a beautiful mug, book, etc. You just snap a photo of your completed page or pages and upload them into whatever display you would like to have. I have found that the frameless wall panel available at www.Photacular.com suits my needs best. It is large enough to hold a full scrapbook page, and as it lacks any glass, cannot break and thus ruin my photo design.
As you embark on the journey of discovery with scrapbooking, remember that whatever you do should be a reflection of you. We are, after all, leaving behind legacies when we scrap from memories past. It behooves us to be creative in our sharing of pages with family, friends and especially our children. We capture a feel of what our life is like when we share through creative photo displays. Using the above suggestions for alternative scrapbooking might lead you onto an entirely new road of contentment.
