<p>Scrapbooking is an art form and as a scrapbooker, it&#8217;s important to take time this month to celebrate your skill and show off your beautiful creations. August is American Artist Appreciation Month and scrapbookers should be counted in with the celebrations. Not sure what you can do? Clueless on how to showcase your scrapbooking skill? Let StorePhotos.com help with these 10 tips for celebrating American Artist Appreciation Month:</p>
<p>1.) Create a scrapbook featuring the work of famous American artists and have it displayed at a local library, school, or community center as an educational tool.<br />
2.) Make a scrapbooking website or blog and show off some of your best creations. Post photos, tips, and stories about scrapbooking!<br />
3.) Start a scrapbooking class or circle in your community. Art flourishes when you give it room to grow!<br />
4.) Work with your local museum on commemorating the history of scrapbooking as an art form or offer to host scrapbooking workshops.<br />
5.) Visit museums and scrapbooking stores. They need your support!<br />
6.) Give feedback to other scrapbookers on how they might improve their craft.<br />
7.) Try out a new scrapbooking technique or layout. Use August as a time to experiment with scrapbooking!<br />
8.) Go on a miniature artist tour in your area and make it a point to visit local galleries and exhibits. Take photos and scrapbook your adventure.<br />
9.) Travel to an American art museum, major gallery, or an artist&#8217;s home and scrapbook your experience.<br />
10.) Keep scrapbooking!</p>

<p>On July 25, take the time to celebrate those special moms and dads and mas and pas with a special gift that shows just how much you love them. Parents are special people and as such, they deserve to be treasured. This Parents Day, be sure to give your parents (or your parents&#8217; parents!) something which celebrates all of the wonderful things they bring into your life, like a personalized and handmade scrapbook from the collection of scrapbooks and supplies at StorePhotos.com. </p>
<p>At StorePhotos.com, we have everything you need to create a beautiful <a href="http://www.storephotos.com/dsl12.html">Parents Day scrapbook</a>. Choose from our selection of <a href="http://www.storephotos.com/dsl12.html">colorful scrapbooks</a>, scrapbook paper, <a href="http://www.storephotos.com/psm500.html">adhesives</a>, crafting supplies, and scissors to find what you need to put the book together. Then, sit down with your family and start crafting! </p>
<p>Fill up your scrapbook pages with you and your parents having fun, celebrating holidays, or doing what you do best. Be sure to put captions and matting around each photo. Next, go through your pages and add other keepsakes which can remind your parents of the love you share. Drawings, greeting cards, ticket stubs, postcards, letters, or other special documents can be the final flourish which can bring your scrapbook pages to life. Then, once it&#8217;s filled, it&#8217;s time to decorate! Using <a href="http://www.storephotos.com/2m.html">embellishments</a>, adhesives, and other craft supplies, decorate each page with a special theme or just add some flair to each and every photo. Once you&#8217;re done with that, seal the scrapbook with a kiss by writing a special note to commemorate Parents Day. Sign your name or the names of your family members and then wrap it up pretty for picture-perfect presentation. </p>
<p>No matter how you choose to celebrate Parents Day, just know that StorePhotos.com makes it easy to craft beautiful gifts and scrapbooks just in time for the occasion. Start making yours today!</p>

<p>There&#8217;s still some time left this summer for you and your family to get away from it all and take a vacation.<br />
So, if you&#8217;re planning your trip to the beach, escape to the amusement park, or retreat to the mountains, be sure to take along your camera because trust us, once it&#8217;s back to school, you&#8217;ll be itching to get away again. </p>
<p>Photos, especially vacation photos, can be a great way for us to escape when things get stressful. When we look back on vacation photos, we&#8217;re often looking back on times when we were relaxed and feeling less rushed. We remember feeling the warmth of the sun or the coolness of the surf. We remember the great food from the seaside restaurant and the exciting hike that made you feel like you were on top of the world. Vacations tend to bring out the best in us and when you want to give yourself a chance to bring out the best, it helps to have vacation photos to look at and enjoy. </p>
<p>If you are taking a vacation this summer, be sure to take a ton of photos. Then, when you come back, you can look at them and remember all of those great times from your getaway, which will make you feel great and can energize you on days when you feel like things are just getting you down. </p>

<p>July is National Picnic Month and you know what that means! It&#8217;s time to break out the blanket, pack up your basket, and head to your nearest park for an unforgettable dining experience that everyone in your family can enjoy. No matter what your age or your tastes, a picnic is the perfect way to spend a pleasant summer meal with those you love. So, this month, schedule some time to dine al fresco and enjoy the beauty of nature with a picnic lunch or dinner &#8211; but don&#8217;t forget your camera.</p>
<p>Picnics are events that are harder to come by nowadays. Most people tend to rush through meals, plus, let&#8217;s face it, when was the last time you had a meal with every member of your family at the same time? A picnic, while rare, should be an event to remember. So, when you head outside with your picnic basket in tow, don&#8217;t forget to bring along your camera to take some pictures. Picnic photos will help remind you of the importance of family, not to mention, that yummy pasta salad you enjoyed in the park! Once you&#8217;ve finished with  your occasion and developed the photos, you can feel free to catalog the event in a special page in your summertime scrapbook!</p>

<em>Hello readers, we&#8217;ve recently had the pleasure of meeting the good people at Crafty Scraps.  We asked the owner, Michelle, if she would like to say anything special to our readers.  Here is what Michelle had to say:</em></p>
<p>Hi Everyone, I am Michelle, owner of <a href="http://craftyscraps.blogspot.com/">Crafty Scraps</a>. My goal when I started<br />
Crafty Scraps 3 years ago, was to be affordable so everyone could preserve<br />
their memories in digital scrapbooking.  My dream was to showcase the projects I worked on to help inspire others creativity so that our hobby would continue to inspire more and more people. I wanted my followers to always feel a renewed sense of motivation toward their projects each time they visited my site.  </p>
<p>I have achieved my goals above and beyond; even my followers have become my<br />
friends. My team and I are here to help everyone, in any way we can, to learn the<br />
art of digital scrapbooking. In the <a href="http://www.craftyscrapschat.com/">Crafty Scraps Forum</a>, you will find challenges, tutorials and many freebies, both PU/CU.</p>
<p>My blog is always active, giving away something, heading you in a direction<br />
to inspire you to open up that creativity. We keep up on the latest in the<br />
Scrapbooking world so you can spend more time on your own creativity.<br />
I love digital scrapbooking, and the creative time it allows me at the end of the<br />
day. It allows me to forget all my worries and be creative putting memories<br />
on paper, designing and helping friends.  Thank you and please come visit!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s almost here! July 4th is right around the corner and if you&#8217;re looking to capture some great photos for a summertime scrapbook, don&#8217;t forget your camera when you go to watch fireworks! While beautiful, fireworks can be one of the toughest things to photograph. However, with these tips, it may be a bit easier for you.</p>
<p>1.) Try using a tripod to give your camera stability. If you have a point and shoot camera, then try resting it on top of a porch railing or similar so that you can get the steadiness you need to capture what the fireworks look like.</p>
<p>2.) Use longer shutter speeds to capture the movement of the fireworks. However, keep it steady, otherwise you&#8217;ll end up getting a very blurred effect.</p>
<p>3.) Frame your shots differently. Try moving to a different location. Watch the horizons. Play with vertical and horizontal shots.</p>
<p>4.) Switch off your flash. It won&#8217;t have impact on your shots and you&#8217;ll just be killing your battery.</p>
<p>5.) Experiment with light beforehand to get an idea of how it behaves when you use your camera. From there, you can feel more prepared when you start taking pictures of fireworks.</p>
