Scrapbooking Tips

One thing I love as much as travel and food is taking pictures of my travels and new foods I try (and even the food I make) and putting together scrapbooks. I just wish it wasn't so expensive (embellishments and albums, cost a lot of money, not to mention the cost of printing the pictures!) and didn't take up such a huge space. I can sure sprawl out while scrapbooking!

Here are some recent pages I completed:

For each of the Walt Disney World Parks

Magic Kingdom

Disney Animal Kingdom

Epcot

Disney's Hollywood Studios

For these pages, I used the park maps to start off the section (or in my case, each album). I find that using brochures, fliers, and even magazines are a good way to beef up an album. It gives a bigger picture to add to the story you are telling.

Magic Kingdom's Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! Parade

For the parade pictures, I used colorful paper with movement to convey fun and celebration.

Recent Trip to Europe

For my scrapbook from our trip to Europe, I added boarding passes and tickets to the pages. This is a great way to display mementos from the trip. I am also not a fan of my handwriting, so I printed my captions using the Feltpoint Font. I love that there are so many free downloadable fonts on the Internet. You can find just about anything to correspond with your pictures.
