While many senior citizens often have plenty of time to devote to scrapbooking, transportation might be an issue. The solution? Joining a scrapbooking club, which sends a kit of coordinated supplies each month. Here, Tricia Morris and DIY Scrapbooking host Sandi Genovese discuss the kits available to seniors. Mail-order scrapbooking kits often include many (or all) of the following (although the combination may vary among kits): - Rubber stamps
- Stencils
- Paper selections
- Metallic foil
- Club newsletter and idea cards or instructions
- Font cards
- Die-cuts or stickers
- Adhesives and/or fasteners
- Journaling templates
Taste of Charleston Linda Sarine created this subtle layout using a kit with a Polynesian theme. Materials: Six 4" x 6" photos
Paper trimmer
12" x 12" scrapbook pages
A scrapbook kit containing:
An assortment of 8-1/2" x 11" coordinating papers and mats
8-1/2" x 11" foil print Journaling stencil
Fonts, markers and adhesive foam dots
- To get started, select the photos to be used for the 12" x 12" double page spread, and trim to 4" x 5-1/4".
- Next, select coordinating paper to be used. Cut the paper in half to produce one set of two pieces measuring 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Cut sections in half again to produce four pieces measuring 5-1/2 x 4-1/4".
- Adhere the photos to coordinating mats.
- Use the font card and marker to trace desired title (in this case, "Taste of Charleston") onto a new shade of paper. Tip: A light box or window can make tracing easier.
- Trim, mat and mount the page title to the scrapbook page.
- Trim around embellishments on foil print (here, fish and pineapple are used) and adhere to page with adhesive foam dots.
- Finally, use the journaling stencil to make easy work of adding captions to photos.
