New Ideas for Scrapbooking

Just an idea of materials that you don’t normally think of using when creating a scrapbooking layout.I've been thinking of these things for the past few weeks and now sharing them with you.

• Old vintage ribbons
• Decorative belt buckles; a pair of pants that I had outgrown but took the belt buckle to use myself
• Buttons ; the ones you get when buying clothing
• Sea shells and even sand; just use your thin glue where the sand is needed
• Dog/cat collars or buckles; on your pet pages or even in your normal scrapbooking pages
• Lace; nanas usually have plenty in their stash
• Broken jewelry/charms; I had a large heart pendant that broke in half and used on one of my artist cards for school
• Jewelry; ones not worn anymore and use the charms
• Search your op-shops and second hand places for bits and pieces
• Paper doilies; you can even ink and die them colours
• Packaging of products; even in clothing (lingerie) and tags from scrapbooking things (the
• Kaiser new products have cool tags)
• Bird feathers
• Dictionary pages; not just for the word your using on you page but also as a background paper
• Sewing zippers; using bright zips creates a great effect
• Cd’s; not ones you plan on listening to of course but ones that are scratched etc, even braking them up and using pieces or putting it back together
• Fabrics; for tying across the page or just as the plain canvas to work on
• Small twigs; tie ribbons etc on them on grungy and brown pages
• Clock faces, numbers and hands
• Keys; old ones you keep but don’t actually know what they lock
• Gems; a large gem fell off my shoe but I used in one of my pages
• Ribbons used to tie up different products, some was used on a bundle of fabrics I bought, it went straight into my stash

Hope these are useful to every scrapper out there
