Someone’s Junk is YOUR Treasure!
Everyone has old suitcases, or junk drawers, or memory boxes that you may find precious and interesting items in. Those special things you don’t hang on the wall but want to keep may be found in your home such as the attic, closets, and dresser drawers. You may be surprised at what you find. You may have some memories that are in frames that can add to your scrapbook page layouts as a way to share that special picture, drawing, or certificate.Beg, Borrow, and Steal: Ask family and friends if they have any special items that you may use or copy. Collection Spot: Gather all your photos, memorabilia, documents and have them in one place. This may be a box, envelope, drawer or folder on your computer. Take Inventory! Find a large clean work space, such as a table, to spread out and take inventory in what you have found and gathered. At this point you may decided that you need to gather more or you may be ready to get organized!  Making Sense! Organizing your pictures: Take a look at what you have gathered and decide how you want to organize your scrapbook. There are many page ideas depending on what you have gathered and what you have in mind. Some ideas are: by year, by season, by grade, by vacation, or by holiday seasons such as winter, Halloween, Christmas etc. The page layout ideas are endless and up to you! Put your photographs in order and label them on the back with a soft tip marker. Safe Keeping! Many of these pictures, certificates, documents, or articles are precious to you as originals. To ensure their safety store your photos in envelopes or shoe boxes using acid-free paper as a backing. This will keep the color from fading, from bending, and keep them in their original condition while you are working with them. More scrapbooking pages: More Beginner Scrapbooking
