Imagine digging into all of your paper scraps, picking out some coordinating papers and creating a design on a blank slate.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> That's what I did when I designed the scrapbook layouts below. You'll see the before and after pages. I had the pages ready prior to the start of <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/2013/04/its-time-for-another-round-of-layout-day.html" target="_blank">Layout a Day</a>, so all I needed to do was find out the prompt, add photos, along with embellishments and journaling, then I was done! This made scrapbooking every single day more of a breeze. Check them out...</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> For this page, I started with Jillibean Soup paper scraps:</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This was over a decade ago and before I even owned a digital camera. For my oldest daughter's first birthday, I filled an entire 8.5x11 scrapbook with tons of memorabilia, photos and included all of her cards. By the time I had my second child, <b>birthday scrapbooks became easier, less time consuming and more cost effective by creating photo books</b>. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I recently ordered a photo book for my youngest little lady after celebrating her 5th birthday.

I was the mastermind and gave it away for free!</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>I was <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/2012/04/ecoscrapbook-as-seen-on-tv.html" target="_blank">featured on the local news</a>. WTOL contacted me last April and asked me to share a Mother's Day project.

It's called The EcoScrapbooker and you can sign up over in my sidebar.

There are 38 upcycled craft and scrapbook projects <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/search/label/Glue%20Dots" target="_blank">right here</a> that use Glue Dots.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>All of last year's Christmas cards were handmade thanks to participating in the <a href="http://jinglebellesrock.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jingle Belles challenge</a>. </li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>I designed <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/2012/04/ecoscrapbooker-manifesto.html" target="_blank">The EcoScrapbooker Manifesto</a>. Check it out if you haven't done so already. Pin it, print it and try to scrapbook by it.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>Sharing the love - one of my favorite blog series was called <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/search/label/Scrapbooker%20Saturday" target="_blank">Scrapbooker Saturday</a> where I featured different scrapbookers and their eco-friendly tips.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>And I almost forgot about another favorite series from 2011 and then a blog hop in 2012, <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/search/label/12%20Days%20of%20Eco-Christmas" target="_blank">12 Days of Eco-Christmas</a>, which showcased several eco-friendly Christmas projects. </li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>Let's talk blog traffic. I don't completely ignore it as I do like seeing visitors on my blog, but it's not a priority. It makes me feel good to blog every week and I must admit seeing over 11,000 visitors in March felt pretty dang awesome. <a href="http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/2012/04/easter-kids-craft-toilet-paper-roll.html" target="_blank">My most popular post</a> features three cute Easter bunnies made from toilet paper rolls.

I'm glad I did this post and had a chance to review the past two years.

It's time to pull them out and get creative! I've found that <b>I like to design a layout without a photo in mind and enjoy digging into my leftovers</b> to see what kind of mix I can come up with.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> By starting a scrapbook layout with paper scraps from a specific company or kit, it's easy to mix complementary designs and colors. And it's more fun to see how the layouts change once photos, titles and embellishments are added into the mix.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Let's have a closer look at my scrapbook layouts made with designer scraps.
