Matchbook Scrapbook to Leftover Ideas!

Don't limit your creativity when it comes to testing new scrapbooking ideas. Here are a few advanced techniques you might try, but feel free to put your own spin on them!

Matchbook scrapbooks - You can show off small photos in a scrapbooking format that look like a tiny matchbook! For instance, many parents take a picture of their child's first day of school each year.

You can use a cover that resembles a tiny matchbook that opens up and displays the child's school picture for that year. Plus, you might want to include some special memories about that school year.

Use up leftover scrapbooking paper - You can create a mosaic border for your scrapbooking pages. If you have some leftover scraps that you don't know what to do with, just cut them up into little pieces and create a mosaic piece to add to the scrapbooking page.

Place them on a background page that's a contrasting color to the colors you plan to use for your mosaic so that you can give the illusion of grout that would be seen in a ceramic mosaic pattern.
