How many of you put your photos in scrapbooks? And how many of you are scrapbookers?

by admin on August 23, 2010

There’s a big difference… which do you do?

I do both and also what I call travel journals that are sort of a combination of a photo albumn and scrapbook. I’ve travelled extensively and just cannot bear to throw away anything I’ve picked up along the way. So, I keep concert, museum, castle, ticket stubs, beautiful bills from the hotels, wine labels and corks, postcards, even the little paper they put under coffee cups in Europe. I write in the journal while I am on the trip and then leave several pages blank to collage my findings once I get home. Since most scrapbooks are too large to keep in my carryon, I use the blank books found at stationery and bookstores.

But, then I ususally have a lot of photos which I sort into ones for the photoalbumn and one for the scrapbook. The scrapbook is more for public view on my coffeetable and the photoalbumn is more personal for me and my hubby to enjoy, but doesn’t have photos of wide enough interest to anyone else but us! (Like my hubby’s obsession with taking pictures of doors and balconies all over the world.)

I have a small "craft" room filled with papers, stickers, idea books, and all kinds of tools. I have made gift scrapbooks for some family members. It is real fun and creative.
