Affordable Scrapbooking

Five steps for personalized affordable scrapbooking.

Crop pictures from magazines that go with your page content rather than always buying stickers or stamps.
While at events, take pictures of their decorations. For example, flower arrangements and wedding bouquets and arrangements. Cut these pictures out to use on your pages to show both where you were and to add beautiful colors. It looks great to stay within the color schemes of various events.
Use items that you have around the house to add flair to your pages. For example, paper clips, old buttons, ribbons and fabrics cut with a sheered edge add to your personal style. Use pieces of your kids favorite articles of clothing after they’ve outgrown them.
Do not print your own photos. Always shop for the least expensive photo developers that still offer great quality prints. You will spend way more money on ink and paper than you ever would on developing.
Shop for solid colored papers. These may seem bland but when you add your own personal touches, solids are better! And less expensive too.
