Have you shied away from scrapbooking because of the cost of some of the emblishments? An easy and attractive way to decorate your pages is clip-art. You will want to look for clip-art that is easy to trace. Start your internet search with black and white clip-art. Read terms of use before using what you find. Once you find something you want to use you can either print it out or upload it to your graphics program to re-size. You will need a light-box. One can be created by making a square frame with a low-watt light bulb attached to the frame below the plexi-glass top. Lay your clipart on the plexi-glass and top it with your scrapbook page. Trace the picture using acid-free color pencil or marking pen. Let dry if using a pen. Now color in the design using color pencils or chalk. Scrapbooking chalk comes in little boxes and is applied with a cotton swab. Once completed it appears as if you hand-drawn the picture on the page.
