Welcome to ScrapFever

Scrapbooking is one of my favorite hobbies. I started scrapbooking over 15 years ago, using the traditional method. Back then, most of my scrapbooks were of my cats. I've used products from various companies like creative memories and close to my heart. When I became a teacher, I got so busy that I didn't have nearly as much free time to scrapbook, which made me sad. That's when I began digital scrapbooking. I was able to get so many more pages done at a time this way. Now I'm into making bound photo books. Most of my scrapbooks now feature our trips we take. Although my Scrapbooking methods have evolved over the years, I don't think I'll ever stop doing it. I love taking pictures and being creative way too much!

Mother/Child Questionnaire

Here's a fun idea for a scrapbook page.  Create a mother/child (or father/child) questionnaire.  Think of five questions you could ask your child about you, and you answer the same five questions about your child.  It's so much fun to see how your child answers your questions at different ages.  Also, your child will love seeing your answers about them.  After you have each question answered, include it on a scrapbook page with pictures of you and your child.

I did a page with questions for my son and me.  Here are the five questions I asked:

Questions for child:
1. What is your mom's favorite thing to do?
2. What is your mom's favorite thing to eat?
3. Where is your mom's favorite place to go?
4. Name one thing you like about your mom?
5. What is your favorite thing to do with your mom?

Questions for mom:
1. What is Dylan's favorite thing to do?
2. What is Dylan's favorite thing to eat?
3. Where is Dylan's favorite place to go?
4. Name one thing you like about Dylan?
5. What is your favorite thing to do with Dylan?

Here is my completed scrapbook page:

Using Favorite Quotes in Scrapbooks

I keep a collection of my favorite quotes. They are nice to read on days when I need encouragement or inspiration. A great idea would be to use a favorite quote as the central idea for a scrapbook page. After you pick the quote you want to use, then find pictures that go well with that quote.  Here are a few pages I've done with quotes.




  

A page with a quote and some pictures would make a great title page to an album.  This one is the title page for a Christmas album.
