Make Your Own Scrapbook Paper

FOR CUSTOM SCRAPBOOKING PAPER line your scanner or copier bed with a sheet of clear plastic (to protect it). Next take anything you'd like to copy like shells, small stones, pasta, flowers, grass, cookies, candy, chocolate chips, crayons, sewing supplies, yarn, bubble wrap, lace and even birdseed or dried pet food. Place it carefully on top of the plastic liner sheet then scan or copy it. You will end up with some of the most amazing scrapbooking paper around! It looks totally real. Color usually works best, but some things (like lace) look wonderful in black and white. What about copying patterned fabric, old jewelry, beads, sweater material, the list is endless. Make your own embellishments from what you copy, like jewelry. Scan anything bulky to flatten for scrapbooking. I know from this you can come up with many more fun ideas that are also money saving. Yea!
