Free Scrapbooking - Cool Ideas

Cool, free scrapbooking ideas are fun to find and fun to use. Many free scrapbooking ideas are as close as your nearest grocery store!

Magazine Racks

Cool, free scrapbooking ideas are right there in the layouts of magazine covers. “People” magazine, for example, gives you a layout idea for treating someone like a celebrity. Usually, a large photo is in the center of the cover with large “journaling”. Along the side, 2 or 3 additional photos include captions. Make your scrapbook’s first page look like a magazine cover. Cool, free scrapbooking ideas for additional pages are the inner magazine pages. Quotes are often used. Sayings of the featured celebrity are also a good idea.

* Men and boys: Cool, free scrapbooking ideas for a man or boy who loves sports? Make your cover layout similar to that of “Sports Illustrated” or “Sports Illustrated for Kids” and name it after the boy or man you are honoring: “Joshua Illustrated” for example. Theme your pages around individual sports. For Digital Scrapbooking, we found Digital Scrapbooking FREE download sports pages at this website: Character-in-Action.com. Click here to see them.

Change the name to fit the persons to be featured. Add sayings beneath the names. Place photos where the cereal appears, and write quotes on the banners that ripple across the photos. PhotoShop or a similar software program would make this easy in Digital Scrapbooking. Or print out your PhotoShop results and use the page in conventional scrapbooking.
