For the month of May, Bella Blvd. has provided a Mom themed project for About.com Scrapbooking readers. This scrapbook page idea, "I Love You. The End" by designer Laura Vegas, features one special photo surrounded by a collection of coordinating patterned papers. The article contains a complete supply list, step by step directions, and even a free scrapbook page sketch to help you use this page idea to make many others for your albums.
I have a new favorite crafting tool! I know that it is hard to pick a favorite when there are so many Cool Tools for Scrapbooking out there, however the Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers is bound to make your list of favorites too. I tried this tool for making handmade envelopes this week for the first time and was able to make a custom sized envelope in under a minute to go with a card that I had previously made. This new article shows you how to use the tool in step by step pictures and also gives you some ideas for getting creative with what types of paper you use to make your own envelopes.
Make your own photo "clipboards" by following the simple step by step directions in this week's new article Photo Display Clip Boards Using Scrapbooking Supplies. Decorate your home using basic supplies and your favorite photos by following these easy instructions. You can customize this project to fit with your home décor by using coordinating patterned scrapbook papers. The photos are easily changed at your whim on this project because they are held in place by a simple clip much like that found on a school or office style clipboard.
