7 Unique Photo Ideas for Your Easter Scrapbook Pages

Hi there,

I am just realing with excitement over some of the photo scrapbooking ideas that just "hopped" into my mind like a fluffy easter bunny on a dewy easter morning!

(How's that for easter speak. LOL)

Okay - now onto the real treats...

Here are the exciting ideas that I came up with this week and had to share:

Take (full screen) photo's of all the flowers you possibly can. (Ideally they will match the color theme that you decided upon for your scrapbook); then cut those photo's into little bits and pieces (random shapes and sizes of your choice) and use them as:

  1. Tiles for the outer edges of your pages
  2. a mosiac easter egg shape
  3. Matted photo corners (matting the images looks better than using them as matts)
  4. Centerpieces in between your journalling (and write around it)
  5. a Matt behind your journing...

Take those same photo's and instead of cutting them up into little bits of random shapes and sizes; cut them into LETTERS or numbers (using stencils) - and use them to:

  1. Create your page title
  2. Place randomly around the pages - just for fun...

Have fun with it....

And don't forget to share your images with me! I would love to post them here for everyone to see.

How to Scrapbook for Holidays

Here are todays top tips for getting your Holiday Scrapbooking started.

  1. Write a list of all your favorite holiday events (or things)
  2. Write down (journal) what you like most about them (Get our newsletter for free journaling tips)
  3. Then, make sure your camera is fully loaded with film, memory and batteries
  4. Start shooting photo's! (Check this article out for Photo Scrapbooking Tips). Even if they are not perfect, you can adjust and crop them later!
  5. And finally...print your photo's and go back to your list and your journaling - and review what you said. Are there any significant statements that you made that could apply to your page? Did you create titles that you didn't know about? Did you create the perfect journaling that you didn't know about? Did you write about the holiday colors you didn't realize? (Could those colors be your background colors)?
Chances are pretty high that you already did most of the work for your self in the first three steps. If that's so, now you can start scrapbooking!

Even if you are doing beginner scrapbooking, or advanced scrapbooking - reverse engineering the process is going to be one of the easiest ways to get the project started!

Have fun with it.
