Scrapbooking during peak holidays can burn a hole in your pocket – especially with the rise of prices as the event approaches. Like in Halloween, wherein scrapbooking embellishments bought at a store rise at a price matching the supply, to scrapbook may not be an option anymore. Still, when you go all out to decorate your house, it would be a pity not to scrapbook about it. Save money on scrapbooking embellishments by using your decorations as materials for your scrapbook.

Jack-o-Lanterns

Do you have those jack-o-lanterns made of plastic and other materials? Well, once Halloween is over, you can use these to create a smaller pop-up version for your scrapbook. You can recycle those jack-o-lanterns that aren’t working or use orange cardstock and acetate to create one out of the blue.

Banners

During Halloween, banners are extremely popular. Those orange and black, triangle shaped papers that only end up in the trash after Halloween can be used as scrapbooking embellishments. You’ll be able to cut out letters, jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins out of these banners and save on buying more paper.

Mummies and Other Dummies

In the event of decorating your place, surely, you’ll have used a lot of tissue, plastic and other materials just to create spooky dummies for your front porch. Since you won’t be able to use these the next year or you refuse to leave the decorations to dust, put them to good use by taking them apart and reusing for smaller versions for your scrapbook. The costs you spend on decorating and scrapbooking can be put into one.
