Where can i find a ready made scrapbook?

I am trying to make a book about our relationship. Im thinking a scrapbook would be perfect however I dont have time to make it. I also wanted to record important moments in our relationship and be able to add things like ticket stubs to games and movies and items we got from a date. You could also call it a journal but I have tons of pictures that i would like to add as well, and they are of all occasions. Does anyone know if they have premade books that are similar to what i am looking for.

i dont think they do
sorry

SCRAPBOOKING PIXARS UP?

I am trying to find any scrapbooking pages or scrapbooking items from the Pixar movie UP. I have looked everywhere, anyone ever seen anything or know where I can find it?

I checked all my Disney sources and not one Up design. You might check out a Disney store and see if they have stickers.

It would be a wonderful set of pages. I wonder if Disney has a set coming out.

Check out Disney Up memorabilia on e-bay. I found this 8"x 10" poster.

Is there any way to make those alcohol inks that scrapbookers and crafters use?

Is it possible to just mix liquid ink (like from caligraphy pen cartridges or ink used by artists) with rubbing alcohol for a similar effect? Has anyone tried making their own alcohol inks? I love the look of them, but I don’t want to pay $10 or more for three little bottles. Any suggestions?

Alcohol-based inks are intensely-colored, transparent, acid-free, alcohol-based colorants (dyes). I don’t know what else you could use, but here’s one thing that someone suggested at my site:

I’ve made my own alcohol-based inks with a square of pre-colored watercolor sheets (they come in a 2×5" booklet with a yellow cover…) …and some alcohol in a film canister…..works pretty well since the watercolor sheets are also translucent and saturated. Carolyn

I also found this exchange:

<Lilo> I saw on one of the sites that you can make your own Alcohol inks by mixing half Rit dye and half rubbing alcohol.
<Tarot_afk> if they dry out you just reconstitute
easiest ink is tempura paint powder … add alcohol
or glycerin til you get the consistancy you want
… i put mine into plastic containers or bottles
…if you use glycerine you can (hot) emboss

<Tarot_afk> you can also mix it them with those glycerine inks that come in tiny jars

You can also add particulate things into or onto the alcohol inks … like mica powders or real-metal powders, chalks, etc

Don’t forget that you can mix the alcohol ink colors just like you would mix paints to get many additional colors (though Pinatas will be clearest… Adirondacks are already "toned" down). And it often doesn’t take much ink at all to do a lot of things since the color is so intense.

(There are also alcohol-based markers –Prisma, etc.).

What is the best photoshop program to use for scrapbooking?

I ha ve been scrapbooking for several yrs. But I would love to start digital scrapbooking because I am so busy with clinicals right now and cant find time to scrap. I have no idea where to begin as far as what program to start with so I am seeking advice from anyone who is familiar with digital scrapbooking and or photoshop . Thanks Michelle

Here are some suggestions:

1. Use the online scrapbooking site CropMom.com, where there’s no software to buy and no digital scrapbooking kits to buy. Just make your layout online using your photos and any of CropMom.com’s thousands of scrapbook graphics. You can purchase the high-resolution layouts for a small fee (or, better yet, purchase a package of layouts for less money) then you can print them anywhere you’d like.

2. Adobe Photoshop Elements can be use to create digital scrapbook pages and is often used by beginneers who have advanced beyond CropMom. That said, there is a learning curve with learning how to use Photoshop Elements to create a digital scrapobok page, so be prepared to spend time learning how to do it.

3. Corel Paint Shop Pro is harder to learn than Photoshop Elements but has more features.

4. Adobe Photoshop is the most powerful of all of the graphics software for digital scrapbooking but it is quite expensive and very difficult to learn.

5. Microsoft Digital Image Pro used to be one of the choices for digital scrapbookers, but I am fairly certain it has been discontinued. That said, perhaps you even have a coyp of it at home if it came with a scanner or something, so I thought I’d mention it.

Finally, both Corel and Adobe offer a free trial of their products, so make sure you test them out to see if you like them before spending the money on them. Also, I would suggest you try CropMom, too, since it’s free. That way, you’ll have a better feel for what’s out there.

How do you make a scrapbook of Brazil for a country report ?

I have to make a scrapbook for my country report it must have more then 10 photes of brazil . But I don’ t know what a scrapbook is and what photes of Brazil to.Thank you !

You don’t know what a scrapbook is?? Exactly what it implies, a book holding ’scraps’ of things like photos, ticket stubs…memorabilia. To make a scapbook of Brazil, print out pictures of maps, leaders, landmarks. Add printing of important news articles. It would be great (but doubtful) if you could get the national flower to press in the book. (Cattleya labiata, sometimes known as Corsage Orchid is the National Flower of Brazil) Use your imagination.

what was written in the back of the scrapbook in the movie UP?

pleez i cnt remember, it sumthing ellie wrote to carl

thank you for the adventure
now go start yours

when you think of a date at the movies…what colors do you think of?

im scrapbooking a date between me and my boyfriend and i cant think of any ideas???

I’d choose a deep shade of blue to suggest the glow cast by the screen, dark reds or purples, and perhaps hints of yellow or gold for a movie marquee, or theater lighting.

Guess it depends on your memory of the date however, and how you want to present it. If the experience or particular film made you feel something, you may want to avoid the stereotypical colors altogether.

where do the digital scrapbookers get their graphics? do they draw them all by hand in photoshop?

what software is needed if they are hand drawn? what type of education or classes can someone take to learn this art?

well, if you live in US they have michael’s sometimes they have scrapbook lesson, and collage always good (cut pieces from something, ex:magazine, and glue it all together), and if you want clip art, illustrator offer better, and good thing is that you can scale it up and not getting pixelated

Scrapbooking: What’s the best organization items or scrapbooking tools you’ve purchased?

I love scrapbooking. I’d like to know the best ways to organize everything and your favorite tools. Especially if someone has purchased, or designed a desk or area to scrapbook at. Thanks!

my fav’s:
1. grage sale kitchen table 40×40 perfect size for working on plus all the "crap" I end up dragging out.
2. IKEA’s rod and hanging baskests and hooks.
3. IKEA’s kitchen knife magnet strips. stong enough to hold dies, and tins without slipping off.

4. The best of all, hubby picked up from a school that was remodeling, an old in-box for teachers mail. You know the ones in the office with all the slots for teachers mail. 40 slots, each one holds 1 IRIS plastic box. Best way to store paper, flowers, alphabets, ink etc… I painted it and had a piece of glass cut for the top to protcet it. I keep pic’s under the glass and all my Jim Holt tins ontop. Looks great and very functional.

EDIT: also love the bar height table hubby made for me. Just 20 inches deep, but 5 feet long. Has a tile top. Great for laying out stuff when I come home from shopping, or for deciding on a layout before I sit and do it. Also good for use as a die cut center. able to stand straight up, no more aching back from making a zillion letters for something.

What makes your favorite scrapbook store appealing?

Why do you go to your favorite scrapbook store? Is it because they have the biggest paper collection? Or the more helpful, knowledgable employees?

What is it that you like best about your favorite scrapbook stores?

Thanks!

Well I would have to say that the best thing about my local scrapbook store is the wonderful, knowledgeable employees! They are so wonderful. If there is a new technique or product, they take the time to show me how to do it. If I have a page that is not quite working right, I can take it in and they make helpful suggestions. They have helped me with ideas for gift scrapbooks.

My local store also offers great classes using all the hottest items. The will also let customers book the "scrap room" for free in order to have little crop sessions with friends. That is always fun and give us a chance to spread out our work more than we could at home. This store has cards for frequent shoppers. One is, take ten classes, get one class free. Another is a 10% discount with an extra 5-10% off on select products each month.

Of course, product quality and selection is always a must. With out that, no one would purchase much. And a good clearance or sale section is a bonus (it’s my first stop every time I go into my local store)!

Hope that helps!
