I will be serving ice cream cones and giving away door prizes while you make cards, shop my Stampin' Up! garage sale, and "get the scoop" on the new Idea Book and Catalog for 2010-2011. I will be taking pre-orders for the new products, and reserving free copies of the new catalog for anyone who schedules a workshop for July or August.

Super-Mini Scrapbooking as Jewelry
What does a scrapbooker wear as jewelry? Tiny scrapbook pages of course! Here I've created super-mini pages, which are still recognizable as scrapbook layouts, in my 1" x 1-1/4" Simply Adorned necklace pendant.
Can you call these scrapbook pages if they don't contain any photographs? I think you can. The art of scrapbooking has evolved far enough so that a design can still be recognized as a scrapbook page, even without photographs. To me, you can call a design a scrapbook page if it contains these elements:
1) a layout design
2) one or more focal images
3) journaling
4) background paper or a background pattern
5) matting/layers
6) (optional) multiple textures - such as embossing, textured card stock, paper piercing, etc.
7) (optional) multiple materials - such as ribbon, rhinestones, twine, glitter, beads, etc.
The challenge with super-mini pages is, of course, to find images small enough to be proportional in a page which is only 1" x 1-1/4". Thankfully, Stampin' Up! solved my problem with their new set "Itty Bitty Bits". I also used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to make tiny circles and flowers.
But there are more images you can use besides the one set. I've successfully used tiny details found in larger stamps. Look with new eyes at all your stamps. Don't forget your Stampin' Around wheels! Also consider cutting out small images from designer series paper, or even shrinking images using My Digital Studio.
Making tiny scrapbook pages using materials intended for 12"x12" pages takes ingenuity, creativity, and inventiveness. Give it a try! You may find yourself with a whole new hobby. And if you wear your new pages in a Simply Adorned necklace pendant, you'll find yourself with a whole new jewelry wardrobe too!
