Scrapbooking can get very expensive. I mean it's really getting to be a serious thing. You can make an amazing scrapbook out of things you have around your house, without spending a ton of money.

I have made lots of scrapbooks & spent a small amount. The main thing you want to buy is a large photo album, instead of one of those expensive empty strapbooks. You will need glue or (glue gun) which is cheaper & goes further than tape & make things lye down prettier too. Some glitter glue, i like that, mabey some funny stickers you can get at the dollar store, scissors, (which you probally already have)

  We all have old clothes we don't wear anymore right? Jeans, shirts, skirts, etc. well before throwing them out, cut those jeans into squares & take your clue and fold pretty corners on them & then glue photos on them, you can have all types of patterns & designs from the colored fabrics & you can do some amazing designs with assorted buttons off of those old tops. Just use your imagination.  And you can do some amazing things with the leaves from your yard, you can use pretty backgrounds from that large outdated calender instead of throwing it out, that old magazine, and much more.

Before spending a fortune look around the house, Im sure you have the makings of an amazing strapbook!
