SCRAPBOOKING CHILDHOOD MOMENTS

Every person who lovingly assembles a scrapbook is constantly on the lookout for new ways to make it sparkle with originality and style. Pictures of baby's first steps, of Halloweens and Christmases, birthday parties, school plays, sporting events, vacations, and graduations: every parent has a collection of treasured photographs. These 200 clever and creative ideas for scrapbook pages celebrate those special childhood moments in a delightful, freewheeling style. Every lively arrangement was created with light-hearted flair and lots of fun, dimensional objects. A "Helping Hands" layout has rubber stamped handprints; background cardstock in contrasting blue and stonewashed green, plus ripped strips in goldenrod; and writing in a variety of colourful markers. Craft wire decorates the "A Summer Day" page, along with stickers and pressed flowers. Other designs use die-cut and metal-rimmed tags, string, lace eyelets, glass beads, distressed and aged paper, and much more. The result: a scrapbook to cherish forever.
