Scrapbooking
You can preserve your memories by simply putting them in albums — but if you take the time to add dates, notes, journaling, and other mementos, your memories will be much more meaningful. Learn all kinds of interesting scrapbooking techniques on our scrapbooking pages — find journaling prompts, mini album ideas, page layout ideas and more.
How to Make Collage Art
If you want to use ready-made images to use in artwork, collage is an art form that is likely to appeal to you. However, you do not have to make other artists’ images the focus of your collage art. There are other ways to approach it. For example, you can cut up bits of colored paper and use those like the bits of glass or tile in a mosaic; you can create pictorial or other images using these little bits of paper. To discover more possibilities and ideas, we invite you to visit our pages on the topic of collage art:
