Scrapbook Products

So, now that Disney is behind us (even though I dream of being back there - every single day) and now that Halloween is behind us...it's time to utilize this SMALL window I have before moving on to all the wonder and joy of Christmas.

I am still in search of a few good scrapbook products. In particular I am searching for scrapbook frames, scrapbook embellishments, scrapbook journaling ideas, and all in all just some great scrapbook materials or scrapbook supplies that are Disney and Halloween themed.

If I could find Disney Halloween Scrapbook Products - that would be perfect.

Yes, I can make many of my own with photoshop- and I guess if I am not reselling them - I would not be infringing too much on copyright laws....

But if there is a Scrapbook Store or better yet - a Scrapbook Supplies store that has these I would be much happier to avoid the legalities (let alone the time it will take) and purchase them myself.

So if you know of any Scrapbook Store where I might be able to find - Disney Halloween Themed Scrapbook Product or Scrapbook Materials Supplies - (especially some great Scrapbook Frames) please drop me a line and let me know.

I am on a mission here and I need your help!!!!

Disneyland was Magical!

Just wanted to jump in real quick and let you all know that Disneyland really is the Happiest Place on Earth! There is just something about it that makes you want to just have fun...or better yet - refuse to be anything but happy.

My kids were superbly behaved...and as a result, hubby and I enjoyed every single moment of the trip. So much so that when we left - we were already planning the next trip back.

I have done two disney digital scrapbook images so far. And I do look forward to doing more...but time is a bit of a gonner for me as I bring in my birthday, the flu and my son's upcoming birthday.

Now it's time to start thinking HALLOWEEN again.

(My son's birthday party is always Halloween Themed).

There weren't a lot of Scrapbook Products at Disney. (Other than stickers and a few charms). I was quite disappointed. But that aside....I have to start collecting as much Jack Skellington decorations as possible as well - since my son has fallen in love with him since leaving the Tower of Terror (crazy ride by the way).

If you happen to know of any specialty stores where they would sell Jack Skellington party supplies, please let me know.

Ciao for now.

Disney Halloween!

Oh my goodness! I am so excited.

I just booked (yesterday) the tickets, hotel and all the extra's for Disneyland! We leave Friday! But guess what...they are celebrating Halloween there now! Imagine that, being a part of the fantastical land of Disney during Halloween! How spooktacular is that!!!

I have not even been to Disneyland yet! And now I get to go for Halloween.

But here's why this is soooo much more enthralling for me: First, I am a scrapbooker - which makes Disneyland all the more exciting and adventurous, I love photography (I even purchased an amazing new digital camera before my Australia trip 2 weeks ago) and I love Halloween! (I even have a Halloween Games for Kids website - if you didn't already know that).


The funny thing is, because I travel so much for my profession - I didn't really feel the excitement of this trip until just now! We were talking about it and researching our options for a few weeks. But all the while I was sort of taking this backseat journey through the motions as if this were "just another trip"...

But NO! This is NOT just another trip! It's Scrapbooker, Photographer and Halloween Enthusiast heaven! I am totally freaking out all of a sudden.

If you have anything to share with me about your experiences in Disneyland...as a scrapbooker, a photographer or Halloween Enthusiast, please let me know. I want to be CERTAIN that I get to see everything I should while there. (We have the park hopper passes too - so we will be bouncing between Disneyland and California Adventure parks the whole time).

If you have ANYTHING to share...any tips on MUST SEE, MUST VISIT stuff while there...please let me know! I have less than 2 days before I get there now!

Regards...Cijaye.

Halloween Decorations - Patterned Blocks

Hey there...

I have just finished recording my very first podcast for this site!!!

It's about a Halloween Arts and Crafts Project for Halloween Decorations.

If you want to take a listen, learn something new and even let me know what you think...please do so. I am really anxious to know!

How to Make a Scrapbook

This question is asked in the groups, forums, QnA sites and such - quite often. The answers of course will vary from expert to expert...but overall...it breaks down into two parts:

1. The album itself. (You know the hard covers that hold the entire scrapbook together).
2. The scrapbook pages.

Realistically - that's all there is to it. However...scrapbooking is an art form and artists are not always realists. In fact - some of the best artists on the planet - became famous because of their ability to take the mind on a journey and transform reality within visual matter.

Your scrapbook would be the same.

So if you want to know how to make a scrapbook - you must first ask yourself - "what FORM would that take for me"?

Scrapbook albums can come in many shapes and sizes for example. They can be created from scratch, transformed from one object into a scrapbook or purchased as produced right from the shelves.

The best part is - you (as the artist) get to decide!

Once the FORM has been determined - your contents need to work within that form. If you have created a mini album from a CD holder for example - you must figure out how to make a scrapbook page that fits in the holder envelopes. Same goes for matchbook albums (which you create from scratch) and paper bag albums...

You have to work WITH the form.

Now...all of this is assuming that you are making a paper based scrapbook. But there are also digital scrapbook's and print on demand scrapbooks.

Both which can take on a life of their own as well....

But lets start with your form (scrapbook). What is it? What shape and size is it? Do you have an idea in mind that you wish to share and get feedback on?

Feel free to leave a comment and get others involved. This blog does get a decent amount of readers each day - as well as contributors. I am sure we would all be happy to share.

Happy scrapbooking to you!
