Scrapping pictures of things

Hey, I was wondering if any of you do pages of pictures of objects instead of people? I have some craft and decorating projects I've done, and I was thinking of doing a page of them, just wondering if anyone else has.

The reason I was thinking of doing it is because of the following long and boring story:

I work at an after school program, and we also do a full day camp for fall break which was last week, so my boss scheduled it so I'd do arts and crafts for three hours each day with 3rd grade through 6th grade students. On Friday we did scrapbook pages, for which we had purchased a super slab at Michaels, I think it's the newest one, but I'm not sure. On the cover it's got "friends" "love in bloom" "we are family" etc. Anyway, I did a page too, of pictures of people from work. It's going to be a two-page layout actually, in order to fit all the pictures, but at the time I only had half the pictures so I was planning to do the second page but just add the pictures later when I get them taken. But, I couldn't use the same papers for the second page because the kids had already used the matching ones. So I made it of other papers that kinda sorta coordinate, but not really. Then after thinking about it all weekend I went to Michaels and used my coupon and bought the super slab for myself so I could make the pages match, but now I have this extra layout all done up and ready for pictures but no pictures to put in it. Hence the idea of doing a page of pictures of things I've made.

My scrapping buddy has an album dedicated just to the crafts she does. I really enjoy looking through it. I have an album just for cakes I've decorated. They are really fun albums and fun to show off.

I do. I have a "craft album". It started as a quilting album, but as I moved into doing other projects, it just became an album of stuff I've done. I keep fabric scraps in it, extra quilt blocks, etc. For my cross stitch projects I've included what I did it on (i.e. 16 count aida cloth) and the size of the frame, stuff I might want to know if I ever want to do that project again. It also gave me a place to put the thank you cards from people I've given things to, which is a nice momento. If my project came from a photo of something else (some of my quilt projects have), I include that too. Its a nice place to journal what it is, how I picked out the colors, how long it took to make, and for my quilts, how many pieces it had altogether. Kathy

I've got an album with the teddy bears and other critters I've made. It was my DHs idea and I think if one makes scrapbooks for the future as well as the joy it brings in the present, then Rick had a great idea. The ideas of my great, great grandchild looking at the bears I made and laughing at some of the more goofy ones, is kind of as nice thought.

I take pictures of family heirlooms such as the bread plate my grandmother had that her grandmother used every Sunday on the table to hold the homemade bread they baked the day before. My brother has the plate now, but I have a photo of in to keep the memorie alive. I do that with a lot of the things I have because I worry my children are not listening to all of the stories I try to remember to tell them about the items in the corner cabinets, on the shelves and in the closets.........this is when journaling is very important.

I take pics of my flowers every year and scrap them. One of these days I'm going to get pics taken of my 7up collection to scrap. You don't need to have people in the photos. I think it's a good idea to scrap your craft projects. I saw your patio and thought that looked real good.

It sounds like a good idea to me. The whole purpose of scrapping, IMO, is to help future generations know who you are. You've put your creative juices, time, and energy into those things you've made, so scrap 'em! :-)
