Saving Money

Our life

I am going to acknowledge something we as 

scrapbookers don't really want to talk about. Our hobby can be very expensive. Don't worry ... in my blog I will show you a few ways to save money by being creative with your odds and end leftovers that we sometimes don't know how to incorporate into our new pages.

I believe that if you make one outstanding page and the next one also nice but maybe by using some of your excess stock.Your final product all bound in an album will look spectacular.

Make an embellishment the focus point using all kinds of odds and ends that highlight the theme. I used tags, stamps, cutouts,words, punches stickers and floss to create this heading on the left. 

On the right I created a double flap that can accommodate  more photos so instead of just having 2 photos in that space I have 10. This is the easiest place to put a flap if you're a beginner because you can just slide your page into your page protector and the flap will go over your protector so you can flip through it. If it sticks out at the top just cut the plastic of the protector 1 cm shorter.That will solve your problem. In the right hand corner is a little pocket that can also be used for multiple photos. Make a slit in your protector by sliding a piece of cardboard inside, take an craft knife and make a slit where needed. Put your tags in from the outside so that you can view them without pulling the whole page out.

 Hope you enjoyed this post feel free to leave me a comment if there is something specific that you would like me to talk about. Till next time Happy Scrapping.
