Helpful Scrapbooking Tips

By Lisa Robbins


Making Corrections To A Scrapbook Page

You are just about finished with a cute scrapbooking page. It took you hours to get everything just right, and then what happens? Your finishing touch rub-on or stamp message is a disaster. What should you do?

  • a. Use Un-Du Adhesive Remover. This product is a life-saver. It will remove rub-on mistakes without messing up the whole page.

  • b. Turn your mistake into a new creative technique. Try laying small ribbons or strips of paper over part of the stamped words and restamping over it. This will add dimention to your page.

Adding Texture to Your Scrapbook Page

Think texture. Texture adds so much character and personality to scrapbooking pages. As you scrapbook, think about trying to add depth to your pages. This can be done many ways from adding 3-D embellishments to using puff paints and textured paper. Creatively plan your pages to include dimension.

Enhancing Your Digital Photos

If you take pictures with a digital camera, you can enhance your photos with programs like Photoshop. You can do things with this programs like lighten dark photos, fix red-eye, and erase blemishes. You can also turn your photos to black and white. There are online tutorials that can help you learn how to enhance your photos with programs like Photoshop.

Determining Your Scrapbook Page Layout

Layout your scrapbooking page before you glue anything down. This will give you a chance to be creative and work out potential problems before they become mistakes.

Monogramming

Here is an idea to use some of those left over stickers, tags, rub-ons, etc. that enevitably collect in your scrapbooking supply box. Start monogramming. You can use these items in the first letter of a word on your scrapbooking pages, such as for a name or page title. Monogramming is a fun and cute technique that is also great for using extra supplies.

Getting the Most From Die-Cut Patterns

Instead of buying expensve die-cut patterns over and over again, trace your die-cuts before you use them for future use. Also consider using cookie-cutters as a die-cut pattern.
