Never too young to start scrapping!!

Today, Jake and I got our summer issue of the Wild Ohio Magazine! We are so excited to dig into it but nap-time comes first! This magazine is absolutely incredible! And best of all, it's free!! There is also a Kids' Wild Ohio Magazine that is free but only comes out once per year. The photos are all so remarkable and are printed on high quality magazine paper. There are always plenty of animal pictures to cut out and make neat projects or gifts; things like bookmarks, postcards, greeting cards and notecards. You can even get some neat little frames at the dollar store or from a yard sale and put in a few pictures for a cute wall grouping. You can make collages or do a complete layout with the older kids. All of these make really nice, loving gifts for teachers, sitters, grandmothers, shut-ins or senior citizens.

With Father's Day coming up, a little imagination can make it really unique for all those special dads and granddads, uncles and brothers. When my Lisa was little, she made a cute pencil holder for her daddy with nothing but an old soup can, some pictures from a magazine and some construction paper. He has always treasured that and in fact, still has it after all these years! A piece of board, barn siding or driftwood with a decoupaged photo and some hooks makes a cool key holder.

Whatever the occasion, some old magazines, especially the better quality mags, and some other basic scrapping supplies combined with a child's imagination can result in a precious and unique gift for anyone! .... because it is NEVER too early to start a scrapping hobby!!
