A Scrapbooking Technique

Using Scanner Photography



Searching for a new "scrapbooking technique"? Now that you have all those fancy scrapbook tools and stencils, here's an easy-to-use idea that will make a big difference in your pages. Enter a new scrapbook tool ... your photo scanner.


Scanner photography, candy photo, scanography, scanner art

"Things" like baby rattles and pacifiers, Mom's collectibles or Grandma's fan.

Even pet toys will jump off the page when you scan them.

Want to add some color to a page?

Scan a favorite candy like this one.

Scanner photography makes them all hyper-real!


To get started, first go to Scanner Magic Ten Easy Steps.



Hawaiian lei, scanner photography, scanography, lei

Old photos of kids, grown-ups and animals are always a great addition to any page.

Sometimes we leave out "things" that are special.

Often, because we just don't think of photographing them ... or when we do, they just don't look that impressive.

Sometimes photographs actually appear dull and boring.

Beautiful flowers from a special event, even when pressed, don't always fit in a scrapbook.

This lei is perfect border for memories of that trip to Hawaii!

I didn't have a real lei, so I purchased an artificial one at a party store and used this new scrapbooking technique.

Looks real to me!

crayons, scanography, scanner photography

Add this bright touch to a child's first day at school page.

Use colorful toys of all kinds for a similar result.

The hyper real look will perk up any kids page.

Don't forget, fun scanner photography like this will also make greeting cards.

In a conversation with Eileen Bergen, The Artful Crafter, about scanner photography uses, she said:

"Scans could be used to create scrapbooking embellishments. I've been playing around with your ideas and am working on a layout using scans of a Campbell's Soup Kids silver knife and spoon from when my son was a baby."
