Scrapbook Decor - the Newest Trend in Scrapbooking
Showcase Your Memories observes how photographs and memorabilia are spilling out of the scrapbooks and into our homes.
Yonkers, NY (PRWEB) March 7, 2006 — The past five years marked a period of tremendous growth for the hobby of scrapbooking. In 2004, according to the Hobby Industry Association, there were more then 20 million people who participated in scrapbooking in the US alone. 2005 marked a period of change for the hobby. Leslie Archambault, owner of Showcase Your Memories, elaborates “There has been a lot of interest with many seasoned scrapbookers and even with those new to the hobby, to take their photos and scrapbooking products and turn them into works of art for the home, altered art projects, as well as gifts. You do not even necessarily have to incorporate photographs in your artwork, although it makes the pieces more personal. The use of just scrapbooking products can create beautiful works of art as well!”
The possiblities are endless. Leslie suggests some of the following project ideas that incorporate the use of scrapbook and paper crafting materials, as well as photographs:
* You can create your own personal planner using the Sarabinders line from Hot off the Press (check out .http://showcaseyourmemories.com/catalog/zen-cart-v1.2.6d-full-release-patched/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=198)
* Decorate your very own organizational materials that can hold embellishments and more by altering paper mache boxes (take a look here http://showcaseyourmemories.com/catalog/zen-cart-v1.2.6d-full-release-patched/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_80)
*Work with your child on making a board bookabout his or her daily activities (http://showcaseyourmemories.com/catalog/zen-cart-v1.2.6d-full-release-patched/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_78[)
“We are extremely excited about the Making Memories Photo Décor collection which we will be carrying mid April/May., The Photo Décor collection offers consumers with a chance to create glass photo coasters and heavy duty chipboard wall words and letters, as well as a working clock, photo garland, flip books, and memory boxes.” Leslie says.
