Multi-Purpose Scrapping

When you create a scrapbook page, it can serve many purposes. I have created this super-simple page using one stamp set, Best Wishes and More, plus an alphabet set, the new Jumble Alphabet. I also used my Define Your Life stamp set in the place of journaling. I think it's a way to keep my page simple, and the definitions look like a dictionary entry, carrying along my theme of "school-aged teenager" along with my spiral punch. With a few punched shapes, felt flowers and a brad, it looks super-cute and conveys the personality of this teenager who is a great family friend. I chose the definitions for quality, because my friend is a quality girl; unique, because she is one-of-a-kind; and zeal, because she has passion for her interests.

Because I scrapped in 8 x 10, I can pop this page into an inexpensive photo frame and give it as a gift or hang it. It could also be put into the front of a school binder--you know the ones that have a clear "window" on the front? I could put it in a scrapbook as is, or I could "step it up." That means I could take this page and layer it onto a 12 x 12 page. With a few more embellishments and even another small photo or two, I would have a top-notch 12 x 12 page.
