For custom scrapbooking paper line your scanner or copier bed with a sheet of clear plastic (to protect it). Next take anything you'd like to copy like shells, small stones, pasta, flowers, grass, cookies, candy, chocolate chips, crayons, sewing supplies, yarn, bubble wrap, lace and even birdseed or dried pet food. Place it carefully on top of the plastic liner sheet then scan or copy it.

You will end up with some of the most amazing scrapbooking paper around! It looks totally real. Color usually works best, but some things (like lace) look wonderful in black and white.

You can also photocopy fabric! Light prints of course work best of course if you are going to print on it.

I scan things all the time, but this one is the most innovative thing I have seen in a long time! Wow, bet me I will be doing that very soon.

You could lay some quilt or sweater material, beads, old jewelry, and so much more.

Thanks for the great idea!
