In Your Yard or Garden
Nature can also provide you with beautiful additions for your scrapbook.

Keep the flower and leaves in there for a couple of days and they will be ready to use.
Your Attic
Scrounge around your attic and you will likely find useful knick-knacks for your scrapbook. You may have some of your old storybooks lying around there, some of them have beautiful illustrations that you can cut out and use. You may even have some old, clothes strewn all around your storage area, bits of fabric from those clothes and also a few odd buttons can also be used as scrapbook materials.
The Scrapyard
What better place to find materials for a scrapbook than in a scrapyard. Look for little baubles like old coins, washers, neat-looking bottle caps, anything that you think will look good in your scrapbook. You can also use ornate pieces of sheet metal as a template for your airbrush work.
Just use your imagination and you can find scrapbook supplies everywhere you look. Keep in mind that beautiful scrapbooks are not necessarily those that are made using expensive materials, often they are those that are made using lots of creativity.
