Blog of the Week
Susan Zennario: "my blog, Paper Daisy
Dreams, is a place for me to showcase all of
my latest scrapbooking creations. I would
say its 90% scrapbooking, 10% ramblings
about my family, kids, work and life as I
know it. I love receiving comments and have
made quite a few good friends through the
blog world!" |

Wherever you are in your life today, many of us would not be
where we are without the help and inspiration of teachers.
It only seems natural that teachers would be the subject of
paper projects throughout the magazine this month. Starting
with our feature, aptly named “Teacher Appreciation”,
artists express their appreciation for these influential
figures. Other artists chose to honor teachers with a gift
of art, Lollie Chessie created a flowery sentiment to say
thanks for all you do. And
Melissa Samuels becomes the
teacher and inspires us to create something beautiful
everyday.

"Using 30-second voice
recorders from My Pages Talk, create these darling
teacher magnets. They make a perfect gift and
hey, no need for a card here, your child can record
a special message for the teacher they like best!
The voice recorders come with an acid-free paper
cover so you can decorate it any way you choose -
stamp it, ink it, paint it and embellish it!" |
Unibind has added new
designs and colors to its popular MyBook
Do-It-Yourself Photobook line. Rather than sending
loose individual prints of an event to friends and
family members, up to 10 prints can be quickly
assembled into a beautiful hardcover photobook to
become a treasured memory. Using the simple system,
anyone can create an appealing professional-looking
keepsake. |
Documenting personal history
is an important part of scrapbooking. Lend a voice
to those who never had the opportunity by creating
pages to celebrate their legacy. For your subject,
use a long-lost relative, or a direct ancestor, or
perhaps you’d even like to make up a fictional
character and record their imaginary life.

"When scrapbooking to preserve our memories, we often
worry about archival issues and storage of our beloved
finished pages. I usually try to keep my pages quite flat to
avoid the difficulty of storing bulky pages inside page
protectors. Also, after moving to Italy, I found it
increasingly difficult to find all the latest scrapbooking
supplies. Given my new situation, I decided to change the
rules and create a scrapbook page in a frame! With a less
restrictive format, I was able to create a beautiful layout
to capture my memories while incorporating a variety of
items."
