Creative ways to create scrapbook art!

Creating framed artwork can be a daunting task, especially if you’ve never taken a paintbrush to a canvas. But just because you aren’t artistically inclined to paint or sketch, does not mean you lack creativity. If you are a scrap booker, then you know it takes a lot of imagination to create a layout design that coordinates papers, ribbons, other embellishments, and photographs to a colour palette. That in and of itself is a work of art. So my suggestion to you is to consider this; while scrapbooks are a great way to showcase your memories, they are also a great way to add art in a room.

Choose a room in your home that needs a little artwork. Children’s rooms are a great place for scrapbook art. Select a few design layouts from the last birthday party, family vacation, or just of your little tike. This can even be a project that you and your child can do together.

When you’ve made your selection, choose a coordinating matte and frame. The mattes and frames should be identical and should coordinate with all the layouts. This will make the scrapbook layouts really stand out. Cluster the group of frames on the wall, and Voila! You have art.
