There are loads of specialised tools such as heating and embossing tools, or sticker makers and some of them will be worth the investment if your scrapbooking hobby becomes a long-term interest. If you look around your household, you may even find some tools and equipment that will suddenly become useful again in your scrapbooking kit.

The strip collage technique is a great scrapbooking idea and solution, and an eye catching way to use up all the scraps that tend to build up in your kit. You can use this technique to create your own unique backgrounds for your layouts, and you can use the strips to draw together a theme or colour scheme for your layout.

I don’t know about you, but when I do my layouts, a lot of the time I used mini booklets or flaps in order to fit all my photo’s from a particular occasion onto a page. The problem is that when you place the completed layout into your album, you have to do one of two things. The first is to pull the layout out from the plastic sleeve each time you want to view its contents, and the other is to cut your plastic sleeve appropriately, but this in turn makes the album untidy and vulnerable to damage. A lot of my layouts fall out in this way or get broken.

New Ideas in Digital Scrapbooking
Having studied sociology many years ago I have an enduring interest in society and history, and as one of millions of scrapbookers I consider the activity of scrapbooking to be nothing less than social documentation. There are many themes and styles employed in the creation of scrapbooks and the keeping of journals, and sometimes there is apparently no theme at all, merely an interest in color balance, or found objects or an abstraction of some sort.

Scrapbooking – Making an Impact on History
Tags are a fantastic way to enhance your scrapbooking projects and clear art stamping ideas. Tags can be used on scrapbook pages to add a caption, hold a title, dictate journaling, mat a photo or any number of other great uses. In the scrapbook layout below a round tag can can be used to show off a fun embellishment or design.
On card making crafts tags can be used to display the sentiment or they can be the focus of the card itself. Using small tags that work together to communicate a thought is also another fun and creative way to add tags to hand made greeting cards. In the card below small tags were stamped on and used to decorate the shadow stamping technique featured in this card.
Making your own custom tags is a great way to ensure that they complement and match the project you are working on. Clear rubber stamps provide invaluable tools in decorating tags and creating perfectly matching background paper.
