Scrapbook Backgrounds To Print

I have created some new backgrounds for scrapbooking which have the popular Grunge look or Shabby Chic look.

Some have an old Poloroid and Box Brownie Camera theme to them and others are simpler.

Shabby chic items are often heavily painted through the years, with many layers showing through obviously time-worn areas. The style is imitated in faux painting using glaze or by painting then rubbing and sanding away the top coat to show the wood or base coats. Fabrics tend to be cottons and linens, with linen being particularly popular, inspired by old French linens. Whites and worn or bleachedout pastels are favorite colours. Fabric is often stained with tea to give it the look of old fabric. Bleached and faded are terms often applied to the style.

Scrapbooking Your Pets

Many dog and cat owners see their pets as more a part of their family.

Is there anything cuter than catching a dog or cat in some silly pose or doing something just downright adorable? So it's no wonder that many people are on the hunt for some scrapbooking pet layout ideas for keeping track of their cherished memories with their beloved pet.

Think of how you can dress up your photo as well. You can trace what looks like a dog collar for a frame for the photo. Or use a cutout of a doghouse. Use a car cutout to frame the photo of your dog as if he's taking a ride or a cutout of a tree as if your cat scampered up. Remember that there are no right or wrong ways to frame a photo when creating your scrapbooking pet layout so get creative. You can even step outside the "pet ideas" and use fabric to look as if it's movie theater curtains, pained popsicle sticks, and virtually anything else for a frame.
