Design a Scrapbook Calendar

Lisa Sutherland

 

We all know, of course, that scrapbooking doesn't necessarily mean that your memories go into a scrapbook. Some of your beautifully laid out pages will go into frames, birthday cards, or websites. Another popular option for your scrapbooking materials is to make a scrapbook calendar.

There are several ways to do this.

• Some companies print up a calendar that comes with lay-outs and accessories, and from month to month you can simply design your own family pages that coordinate with that month. This is an excellent option for beginners or for those with little computer experience.
• You can custom make your own calendar pages. It is easy to buy or make seasonally appropriate display pages, and to print out the monthly page of dates. You then apply your own pictures and memories and out them together. You can use this technique to custom make gifts for different friends and family members, each one tailored to your special memories of them.
• Online calendar services. This is an excellent source for those who do a lot of computer scrapbooking. You design your 12 pages, using either your own templates or ones that they offer, and you email them to the company. The company then prints them out and binds them into a professional looking calendar. You can buy several copies of this calendar to give to relatives as gifts.

One of the best things about scrapbook calendars is that they make meaningful but inexpensive gifts for all your loved ones, and express your unique memories throughout the year.

Christmas Scrapbooking Ideas and Tradition

Michelle Cardello 

 

Most Christmas scrapbooking ideas stress the importance of tradition. Clearly, Christmas traditions are the easiest subject matter of scrapbook albums. After all, every family has their own tradition, and the individual ones are often the ideal choices for custom photo albums.

Scrappers and their families need to think about their own personal traditions, which make for ideal subject matter for holiday scrapbook albums. Some traditions have their roots back so far, that the family may not even be aware that it is a tradition.

For example, the tradition of opening presents. Some families open presents on Christmas Eve while everyone is gathered, some only open one present on that evening, and others wait until morning. One could easily make a scrapbook page out of that. It might be a good excuse to get the camera and list when everyone else just wants to rip off wrapping.

Other ideas include the "trimming of the tree". If your family gets a Christmas tree and decorates it every year, then every ornament probably has some memory attached to it. Perhaps each ornament is a reminder of some Christmas past. Simply taking pictures of ornaments and writing simple text about them is one of the easiest of Christmas scrapbooking themes.

Decorating the house is always an important Christmas tradition.. It seems like every neighborhood has some person on the block who decorates to the point of over-decorating, but his or her house is always visited by the neighbors. Some scrappers might be the person who actually does all the decorating, and it is worth these ideas in a page.

Another Christmas tradition that may not even be realized is the way trimmings are taken out every year. Many families keep their holiday decorations in their basement, attic, or garage, and pulling them out every year is sort of something of a tradition in and of itself. Surely an event like this would make great subject matter for a special scrapbook.

Christmas firsts are always pretty important. This is often where tradition gets formed. For example, every time there is a new addition to the family, it is the obvious choice to make a "Baby's First Christmas" page. The same applies to a first December 25th in a new place.

Of course, opening presents and decorating a Christmas tree is something that most families will partake in on that special day. The scrapper may need to completely rack his or her brain in order to get more original scrapbook ideas. Therefore, one has to simply ask oneself: "What is it that other families do every year at Christmas time?" It can be something seemingly mundane, such as watching a movie after dinner. It could also be something very unique, like an oversized stocking that hangs by the fire. Every family has different traditions, and the more unusual, the more interesting the photo albums are.

Well, hopefully with this article, we'll be able to give you some tips and ideas to get your creative juices flowing, so you can make the most memorable scrapbooking christmas card this year!

Take some wacky photos. Pick out the most outrageous one. Maybe have the whole family tackling santa claus or something!

You can try and go with the more dramatic effect by taking your family picture in black and white. Most cameras nowadays has the option, and it can give your family shoot a nice look.

That would be one wild christmas scrapbooking card, let me tell you.

An idea that might be too late for this year, but bring along some sort of holiday outfit or prop when you and your family are out and about. I think it would be hilarious to see a family on a sandy beach standing next to frosty the snowman, or a big ol santa claus. And who said it has to be the beach, maybe you could go scubadiving with reindeer. Wouldnt that be sweet.

What it all boils down to is your creativity. Hopefully these ideas got something going in your mind. You definitely dont wont to do the same old boring greeting card this year. With a little imagination, and some research of different holiday card companies, you should be able to put together the most memorable christmas card ever, and at a reasonable price. Dont forget to shop around when it comes time to buy. Do your research so that you dont pay too much. Nothing can dampen the perfect christmas card by paying too much for it.
