My church group meets the last Tuesday evening of each month. We all get together and make scrapbooks for different projects and occasions. I never thought I would like Scrapbooking, not only can it be habit-forming, but it improves on you color and design coordination. I like to share some ideas that I got from the group that can help your Scrapbooking craft.
Some ideas are using different types of occasion, keepsakes, and special projects named these:
Heritage or genealogy
Family Reunions
Sports
Hobbies & Interests
School events
Church events
Social events
Historical events
Special events
Clubs or organizations
Favorite recipe cookbooks
