Does anyone have any craft/scrapbooking ideas?
I'm in a crafty mood, yet im out of ideas...does anyone have anything fun that they've made that wont cost a fortune?
For example, a friend and i just took composition books, covered and decorated them, inked the pages and now we have journals we write in. Thanks a bunch!

If you don't find anything there, here's my own idea. Create a scrapbook, like the one you described above. Use blank pages though, so you can add pictures to them. Have the first pages start with landscape pictures in various corners. The next pages will have plants and foliage and flowers. Then the middle pages, cats, horses, or animals that you like. Then move back to plants, then move back to landscape. On the front cover do a sunrise, and on the back put a sunset. Voila! The perfect journal.
