Happy July at The ScrapRoom!

July is here already... where does the time go?  Well... here in the States, it flies by as we spend time camping, going to ball games, swimming, and just hanging out.  Which is just perfect for putting that camera to use and capturing these great summer memories!  So go ahead and do just that:  take your pictures, print them out, and then slide them inside these wonderful summer kits!  When your days slow down, you can grab that kit and quickly get more pages done.  That's a pretty great feeling, isn't it?

2 pages, 9 photos, and All Scraps!

If you're like me, you have lots of bits and pieces left over from TSR kits.  Sometimes I'll have a few embellishments and a couple of scraps of patterned papers left over that I just have to keep because they're too good to let go of.

So what do you do?

I've shared before how I love using the divided page protectors that Tammy offers in the TSR store, and these are a PERFECT way to use up leftover kit pieces! 

I used leftover bits and pieces from a previous Christmas kit and was able to get 9 Christmas photos scrapped:

Don't throw out those scraps! Give them one more look and see what you can make out of them!  I certainly didn't think I had enough of this kit left to make TWO pages, but with the help of the divided page protectors...I did! :)

What's In Store: WRMK Divided Page Protectors

The TSR Store has a huge assortment of We R Memory Keepers Divided Page Protectors.  

 

This product can be very useful to a busy scrapbooker.  Today, I thought I'd share a variety of ways to incorporate them into your albums.

1.  Create a title page for your travel, baby, school, or other themed album.

2.  Add them to your Month-in-Review, Project 365, or Project Life album.

3.  Create quick and easy scrapbook pages or albums, especially when you have a TON of photos.  These would make great wedding, baby, or grad gifts as well.

4.  Create a companion page for your traditional layouts by adding multi-photo pockets with or without papers and embellishments.  

5.  Create super fast albums by mixing and matching photos and Simple Stories, We R Memory Keepers, Jillibean Soup and other patterned papers that come with divided sheets.

6.  Print your Instagram pics at Postal and incorporate them into your albums.  The 4" x 4" pockets are the perfect size!

I can see many of these ideas working their way into my albums.  How about you?  Will any of these ideas work for you?  Or do you have another idea to add to this list?  Leave me a comment . . . I'd love to hear!

What's In Store? Smash Books!

K&Company Smash books hit the scrapbook scene in the Spring of 2011. And they have been a huge hit ever since. After doing a little poking around on the internet, I stumbled across the Smash Blog HERE.

You can find all sorts of interesting ways to Smash as well as sample pages from fellow Smashers.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Tessa created an illustrated list of things that she loves at the moment.  What a treasure for future generations!

Kellie created a Top 10 list of items she uses for Smashing.  But this same concept could be applied to any Top 10 list.

Barb smashed her trip to Chicago, complete with tabs for different activities, pockets for receipts, and tons of pictures.

So, are you ready to Smash?  I know I sure am.  I'm thinking of doing a Summer book.  Or maybe an All About Me book.  Ooo wait, maybe a Disney Autograph book.  Hmmm . . . I don't know.  Maybe all three.  In any case, I'll need to do myself a little shopping in the TSR Smasbook Store HERE.  These items are on my list.

Smash Pockets

Smash Tape: Calendar

Smash Dividers

Smash Clips

What about you?  Are you planning to Smash?  What are your must-have Smash items?  I'd love to know!

What's In Store? Singleshots!
