A Scrapbook Idea Using Christmas Cards
by Keysha Jecks
Do you get a load of Christmas cards every year and hate trying to figure out what to do with them? Well let me help you with that.
I love to scrapbook and every year I end up with 100's of pictures from Christmas time and usually 15+ Christmas cards. I hate just throwing the Christmas cards away because; 1. They are from people we care about and 2. It is such a waste of paper.
So after the first Christmas after my husband and I got married I received 10 Christmas cards and I just put them in a box because I didn't have the heart to just throw them away. Now I'm sure glad I didn't throw them away because they became very valuable.
I had my son and then I became a scrapbook junkie and come Christmas time I pulled out that box of old Christmas cards and a wonderful thing happened I was struck with the perfect scrapbook idea that would turn any page into a work of art. I just had to cut the cards up and use what I liked off of them.
So I had a card with a beautiful little cottage so I got a picture of my family next to a fire place and a few outside playing in the snow. Then I cut out the little cottage put it on the page with these pictures of my family and added a few paper cut-out snowflakes and had an instant best-seller. Well, maybe not a best-seller, since I wasn't going to sell it but I'm sure my mother-in-law would pay big for it.
The year after I had my son I got cards that were loaded with Santa, which was fantastic I was able to cut them out and in the end had 8 Santa's to use to decorate pages with. I also received one with a tree and presents, so I cut that out and included on the page with pictures of my son opening presents.
Now you just need to gather your Christmas cards and let your imagination run wild.
