the gift of scrapbooking, now or later.

For someone who doesn’t like a lot of clutter but who does have a soft spot for a bit of ephemera, a scrapbook can be a match made in heaven. It’s an opportunity to gather memories and images and the little bits and pieces that fit together to tell a story all in one, organized spot. For anyone wanting to join the fun, and especially for those who might want a bit of a helping hand to guide them along, Artifact Uprising‘s brand-new Scrapbook Album is a thing to consider and I’ve recently gotten the chance to see how it works myself.

In classic Artifact Uprising style, the album design is beautiful. You can choose from five beautiful cover color combinations, made from premium linen and foil-stamped text. The interior pages are simply designed with open-ended prompts and printed on high-quality paper, including one made from recycled coffee cups.

The book itself is bound in a binder style, making it easy to add to (or take away from). Pages include large and small envelopes for the safekeeping of bits of ephemera like a photo strip, or a ferry ticket, a pressed leaf, or a child’s sketch. In the best way, these pages remind me of the beloved book of my childhood, The Jolly Postman, where little treasures and sweet notes can be tucked away to be found and enjoyed in a quiet moment. A page of petite tear-off notecards in the back of the album even allows family and friends to contribute their own notes and memories to slip into perfectly sized envelopes inside the book.

And for all of these opportunities at customization, the nicest feature of all in an exceedingly busy time of year, is that the scrapbook is an off-the-shelf project that doesn’t need to be completed in the rush leading up to the holidays. If you don’t have time to personalize or design a book of your own ahead of time, you can give the gift of supplies instead. Each purchase of a Scrapbook comes with a credit to receive 10 Artifact Uprising prints as well as a pen, picture corners, and adhesive to help with adding personal touches.
