I have been reading your posts about the paperbag scrapbooks and I'm trying my first scrapbook project right now. I'm making one for my mom with my grandchildren as the stars. I'm about half done and having designer's block so any ideas would be more than welcome.

The theme is bordering Victorian. Colors are red, tan, green, burgundy but they are not bright red or green. There are some penguins in there too. I would try to take a pic but I can't get the camera to work. Maybe I can lure Angel over . . .

I was thinking that too. I brought the ribbon box down from the attic. I have some flowery type ribbon I've been looking at. I'm also kind of waiting until I figure out which pics to put in it to finish the rest.

Oh and check eBay for their embellishments under the craft section. I've gotten lots of ideas from there.

Mocha, how could you forget the pictures, lol? How the heck am I supposed to "borrow" ideas if you aren't posting pics???

Chili, your scrapbook sounds like it's going to be very nice looking. I know I saw a package somewhere that had Victorian style embellishments and paper somewhere, unfortunately I can't remember where the heck I saw it.

I'm still trying to decide on a theme for my great aunt's scrapbook. The pictures that will be going in it are everything from when she and her siblings were very young through mine and my sisters kids. I do know that I'll be doing the album like the wedding albums I do (fabric covered photo album) but I haven't decided yet on what type/color/style of fabric and embellishments.

I LOVE eBay. I have looked at a few things on there.

This books is only a few pages as it will be just for Christmas this year with my grandbabies in it. I'm not creative enough yet to do many pages. My brain will freeze up. I bought a package of Victorian embellishments/paper but it was expensive. I only bought it because I had a 50% off coupon. Those papers are the base of my book and then I added some penguins from something else because they aren't too cartoony and the colors blended. Someday I will organize the boxes of stuff in the attic so I know what I actually have. Good January project.

Thanks for all the tips, hints and support. I need all the help I can get.

Working on another scrapbook. Went to Joanne's for inspiration for the cover and found this beautiful aubergine silk material that they were selling in these squares and said bingo. So I've decided to attach it to some cardboard. Dang I probably should've gotten some batting too. Crap. They also had some aubergine beaded fringe on sale that I'm gonna try to add to it also. Since this book is for me I'll definately have pics lol.

WAR---how about basing the pages on the style of the time/generations. Perhaps a 40's theme, 50's themes, 60's theme, based on the ages of the person in the picture.

Showing the diference in popular culture at the times.

I think I want to start a scrapbook for my daughter, one with my history in it. I guess I want to do this because I've always wanted to know more about my mom's life. How she thought and felt about things growing up. How TV effected her life. Things like that.

Then give it to her in twenty years.

THOTS?

My 8-yr old daughter, "Sandy Genovese, Junior!!" began a scrapbook last month for her best friend's birthday, a fellow third-grader. I'm not sure if the recipient is scrapbooking much yet, but she seemed pretty excited to receive it. My little girl got a kick out of picking paper and embellishments, stickers, etc., from her own collection to share with her friend.

Now my daughter and I are beginning a book for the younger sister of my DD's friend. DD and the younger girl, a 5-year-old, took a cheerleading clinic together in January and had the greatest time. They even got to cheer at the homecoming game for our local independent high school, whose actual H.S. cheer squad numbers only FOUR girls. My kids attend a private christian elementary with a population of under 100 students, and it's nice for them to be able to participate in some activities that they'd more likely find in public schools, but which are so limited in schools with as few students as their elementary has.

To start off the five-year-old on a lifetime of scrapbooking, we're scrapbooking some memories from the cheerleading clinic that she and my daughter attended. I haven't spent much time on it yet, but I need to get on that after I get my newsletter printed and mailed out.

First time to post in this thread...
I am scrap-obsessed! Kearie - it's a wonderful idea and you can only begin to imagine what it'll mean to her when she's grown and on her own.
I leave this Thursday for a weekend crop at a lodge w/10 other gals. Life is good!
I'll be working on our Disney cruise album and finishing the journaling in my Becky Higgin's album that Becky herself autographed! I met her at CKU in Atlanta last July and I took her album track - it was awesome!
Sia - I have a friend who just started scrapping and her DD's 6th b'day is this weekend. My DD is giving her a "Mom & Me scrapbooking kit" to set her down the wonderful road of scrapping!

I am looking for an 8 1/2 X 11 scrapbook that can be expanded to about 4 inches. Is there such a thing or do I need to go with a binder from OfficeMax? I don't know much about scrapbooks and expandibility, so any hints or pointers are greatly appreciated!

Beach you can get some expander thingies, little metal pieces that will extend your book. I'd look in any craft store.
