The photos on your scrapbook pages sometimes do not tell the whole story. Have you ever wanted to include extra photos, video, or even music on your page? Do you have megabytes worth of little video snippets from school performances, birthday parties, and family trips? Adding a CD pocket to some of your scrapbook pages is a great way to store a copy of those digital memories right on your layouts. The supplies you need are simple and you can complete this pocket for a special scrapbook page layout in minutes. Try one on your next layout!

Now that summer is officially here it is time for some summer themed scrapbooking. By visiting the summer scrapbook page layout idea gallery, you will find 14 layouts to get you started. Next you can begin embellishing your pages, summer party invitations, and other greeting card and paper crafting projects with free summer themed paper piecing patterns. I especially love the hibiscus pattern, shown here, because it is simple and elegant. The tall glass of lemonade paper piecing, made with cardstock and vellum, is perfect for pages featuring your little budding entrepreneurs as they work their summertime lemonade stand. Summer themed pages can be quick and fun. This also a great time to get your kids scrapbooking with you!
