Dude! Get in Shape!

Dude! Your scrapbook needs to get in shape!

Sometimes a shape other than a rectangle can tell a lot about where you were. If it does, use it!

For example, the President is naturally associated with the stars and stripes. In this page, I used a star punch to shape the elements in invoke that association.



I used the star on the pix I took and the items from the brochures that I wanted to include. Keeping the family pic in a rectangle separated what was presidential and what was family.

Getting things to work in a particular shape can be quite a challenge. But it's nothing a real man can't conquer!

Dude! Shape up!

Dude! Make it a Holiday!

Dude! You can add an invisible element to your scrapbook that only you will know. Tie when you make your page to something in it!

I know how things can stack up and how you can get way behind in keeping up with the scraps. A holiday or an event can help you get things done and give you another story to tell when your showing off your stuff.

There's nothing all too special about the page below.



Except that I made it while watching President Obama's inauguration. Could you make your Lincoln Memorial page on Presidents Day? Or dude! you could do the opposite like making your beach pages during a blizzard.

It never hurts to add an extra layer of memories to your book.

Dude! It's like compounding interest in your memory bank!
