Holiday Craft Source

Now that summer is here and the kids are out of school and you are planning your summer vacation, do not forget to take pictures of your summer activities and put them in a scrapbook.

There are many sites on the internet with scrapbooking ideas, templates, and supplies. Here are some interesting and helpful scrapbooking sites I found while looking for some ideas for summer scrapbook pages.

• Kim at Scribbled Scraps has lots of information and tips on scrapbooking. Her most recent post talks about how scrapbooking can be a fun activity to share with your children. She offers hints on how to involve them on creating their own scrapbooking page. She also has a post entitled Scrapbooking 101: Where do I Start, which I found very informative.
• At Crafty Places I found 3 summer fun scrapbooking layouts that you may want to use as inspiration for a project of your own.
• In the July 2008 issue of Scrabooking.com I found an article entitled “Fun in the Sun and Water” which has 5 scrapbook page layouts you can create with photos of your family having fun in the sun or in the water.

Be sure to take some time this summer to get those photos into a scrapbook to preserve your summer memories for years to come.

At the top of this post is a picture of one of my scrapbook pages I did when my son was young, after a day at the exhibition.

Happy Crafting!!

While browsing the internet for Father’s Day craft ideas, I found a Shadowbox at Michaels.

I think this would make a great Father’s day gift. I wish I would have made one for my Dad before he passed. I would have made it with pictures of him fishing, as he loved to fish. Anyway, you can find the instructions here.

Happy Crafting!!
