This article contains projects for all scrapbook levels.

Scrap Artistry albums are quality hand-crafted in the United States. These scrapbooks / albums are covered in either imported European book cloth, captivating print fabrics or premium bonded leather. They feature embossed liners on the inside covers. All materials used in the scrapbooks are both acid-free and archival to insure that your memories do last a lifetime. Scrap Artistry Scrapbooks / Albums are expandable post bound and true 12" x 12", 8 ½" x 11" and now 8" x 8". They are designed so the screw posts are hidden from view. The heavy weight, top-loading page protectors are with an extra wide margin so your pages lay flat.

The newer 8" x 8" albums are great for making quick themed albums. For instance, why not turn all of those Christmas portraits with the "shopping mall" Santa into a great little keepsake! The solid fabric covers make a fabulous palette for creating a decorative cover. Try printing a picture or some clipart onto iron-on transfer paper, embellish with ribbons, charms, fabrics, metal alphabets and more.

To make your project quick and easy, select a few coordinating papers and a few different embellishments to continue a theme throughout the book. To keep the album fresh using the same papers/embellishments, just design each page with a different technique. For example: tear paper, alternate backgrounds on each page, alternate embellishments on each page, cut different shapes for each page there are many ideas to choose from to mix it up...and don’t forget to make your introduction page too.



Merry Christmas "Portraits" and Happy Scrapping!
