1.Empty Food Boxes

If you have a die cut machine capable of cutting chipboard, such as the Cricut Expression, don’t buy expensive chipboard at the craft store.  Instead, use food containers, such as cereal boxes.After you cover them in colorful scrapbook paper, you will never know that it came from your pantry!  If you do not have a die cut machine, you can use cookie cutters instead, to cut the box and paper into the desired shapes.

2.  Wallpaper Scraps

Many wallpaper designs are as beautiful as the pricey papers in the scrapbooking stores.  Make regular stops at your local paint and wallcovering stores, get to know the staff, and ask them to call you when they have discontinued sample books that they are throwing away.  Keep in mind, however, that the adhesive on these samples may not be acid-free.  Although they may not be suitable for your pictures, they can be used for other projects, such as making cards.

3.  Wrapping Paper

Think of all the beautiful wrapping paper you have thrown out over the years.  Recycle it by using it for your scrapbook projects.  At birthday parties and other special occasions, collect the left over wrapping paper and use it for your projects..

4.Fabric Remnants and Ribbon Pieces

Sewing notions, such as fabric and ribbon, can be used on your scrapbook layouts and handmade cards.  Many of these fabric and ribbon scraps are too small for sewing, yet are the perfect size for accenting handmade cards and more.If you know any seamstresses, ask them to collect their fabric and ribbon scraps for you. 

5.  School Supplies

Many of the products in the scrapbooking aisle are simply embellished school supplies.  School supplies cost far less, though, and can be easily modified for scrapbook projects.  For example, instead of buying the colorful brads at the scrapbooking store, pick up a box of paper fasteners.  You can paint them, glue on little doo-dads, and modify them in a number of ways.

With a little imagination and creative thinking, you will surely find even more common household goods that you can use for scrapbooking on a budget.  Make sure you always have a container handy, so when you come across things you can use for your projects, you have a place to put them.

Old scrapbooks tended to have photos mounted with photomount corners and perhaps notations of who was in a photo or where and when it was taken. They often included bits of memorabilia like newspaper clippings, letters, etc. With the availability of printed material it is likely that the content of scrapbooks shifted away from one’s own hand-writing or drawings or those of one’s family members toward commercially available printed mat ephemera, memorabilia collections and journaling.[citation needed] Modern scrapbooking has evolved into creating attractive displays of photos, text, journaling and memorabilia.scrapbooking wedding
