It seems summer comes faster and faster as the years go by! For those of you who completed previous scrapbooks up until now….I congratulate you. For those of you who still have yet to finish scrapbooks in progress….let’s get it done now! Summer is approaching and we need to get started on a new one!

When starting a summer themed scrapbook, think bright colors, stickers, flowers, trees, many small and medium sized matted frames for your pictures, and journaling of your summer experiences. The most common, of course, is the travels of your summer vacation!

There is much to experience during a nice getaway trip. Make sure that you take good notes so you won’t forget a single thing. The high points, the things that did not go right, and the new friends you made while on your trip.

It seems that the digital scrapbook is getting more popular now and most pictures taken with a digital camera is simply transfered directly to your computer and you email the “scrapbook” off to your friends and family. I, for one, would rather do it the “old fashioned” way….buying a stylish binder and filling it with your favorite embellishments and pictures.

Keep focused on what you want to put into your summer scrapbook before you start your layouts.
