While you can keep your scrapbook pages in photo albums, you can also create darling home decor with other scrapbooking-related activities. One of these projects, scrapbooking cubes, can be made from simple foam cubes or paper squares that come in kits that you assemble. You can combine or stack the cubes for many projects, including puzzles, decor and preserving memories. In any case, for all projects, apply a liquid adhesive such as a decoupage medium all over the cube. You want everything to adhere well. Seal the entire project with the same adhesive.

Decorate each side of three or four scrapbook cubes in appropriate colors to match the baby nursery. Include photos, patterned papers and your choice of embellishments. Stack these or use a super-strong adhesive to hang as a baby mobile. Along the same idea, make baby blocks with letters to spell out her name or the word "baby." However, avoid letting baby play with these as she might try to chew on the blocks. It wouldn't be safe for her to ingest the glues or paper. Instead, use as decor for her room.

Tic-Tac-Toe Game

You can put nine scrapbook cubes together and make your own tic-tac-toe game for display on a family room table. Buy premade stickers specifically designed to adhere to scrapbook cubes. Or print your own using fonts on the computer. You could also use large stickers or stamps and ink or paint. Guests will enjoy the interactive qualities of this game.

Square Scrapbook Page

This project, like a mini album, allows you to display six scrapbook layout pages by combining nine scrapbook cubes to make one large page. Create mini designs on each cube section instead of one large design. You want the design to be completely flat, so stick with embellishments that you can turn over the cubes. Label the side of each cube so you can track photos. Use a paper trimmer to make the edges of photos and layout pieces even for each section.

Crhistmas Ornaments

Scrapbook cubes provide a creative alternative for normally round Christmas ornaments. You can hang this handmade ornament on the tree or display it on a mantel or with a group of other holiday-themed decorations. Include photos, Christmas papers, ribbon and other matching embellishments. Add ribbon or an ornament hanger to hang it up. Help your kids make these for Christmas gifts for grandparents. Include the date for a precious memory of the year.
