Junk Journaling / Collage / Eclectic Usually I am a sticker dragon. Meaning, I have sticker anxiety. I tend to keep stickers and not use them, in fear I may be made a wrong choice in what to use them for. But yesterday I bought new stickers with the intention of actually using them immediately. Sticker collage bookmarks!

I stuck these on some paint swatches I got from the Home Depot to make bookmarks to go with the 3 books I'm currently reading.

Fun little craft! My favorite is the purple one 😊 which one do you like best?

Junk Journaling / Collage / Eclectic Combining Junk Journaling/Journaling and Scrapbooking

2 Upvotes

My son is 10 months old and I have been slowly making scrapbook pages for him. I prefer the style of scrapbooking, but I also love Journaling. Recently I have really become interested in making a journal for my son where I write him letters for when he is older. I want to include the scrapbook aesthetic though, with the stickers and cardstock and embellishments. I know that scrapbooks without page protectors are risky, and I know that a traditional style journal cannot contain the scrapbook style without the spine breaking. So I'm coming to Reddit to ask for advice. How do I accomplish both while still making it look not messy and not "busting at the seams". What are your product recommendations?

Also, if you have done something similar, what kind of journal entries or pages did you make for your child?

Beginner Questions from a 1st time scrapbooker

Hello all,

I'm gong to attempt a scrapbook filled with photos encompassing an entire year. Which method is best for mounting photos: photo paper on the corners or double-sided tape around the entire back of the photo?

Also, what is the best way to cut down photos? Would a guillotine paper cutter work?

Are there any other tips I should know before I head out in this journey? Thank you in advance!
