I actually do scrap all my bos pages. I figured I was the only one that did this. I think the pages just look way cooler. My email is morgentrinity@gmail.com
I would love to share ideas with you.

I have two BoS's that I've started scrapping. I figured since I have all the materials, I might as well as a little more creativity to it! Thanks for your email. I'll be in contact very soon!

Right now I'm still putting together my BoS, but I do intend to scrap it. I'm going to be adding samples of herbs and stones to the pages where they're described. I'm going to put bits of spell ingredients on the spell pages. I'm also trying to work out how to make a reusable altar diagram for planning spells and rituals. I want it to be kinda fun, like a felt on felt board or maybe magnets. It's just an idea stuck in my head with very few details.

Hmmm..............I never thought of doing this. And why not and if the intention is for it to be more like a scrap book.... I do it all the time.........I don't know where my brains are sometimes.......Big thank you....

This is what I am wanting to do for myself and my other half. But I am wanting to make the outer cover myself, but haven't gotten the diagrams for it as of yet. I have seen many in my time and I keep everything in booklet form or in a spiral notebook for the future. I been thinkin about putting little pockets for the samples for spells, not too much and also little fold out cards with the spell also...it would be beautiful...to me I think.

I think adding a little creativity adds so much more magick to a book than just writing it.

I'm not technically scrapping mine, but I do use Scrapbook techniques to make an altered book of shadows out of two old cookbooks put together. Seeing as how their old gelatine based meat and vegetable monstrosities, I don't feel so bad about ripping and painting over the pages, heh.
I covered the book(s) in green velvet from some old curtains, used a really pretty wrapping paper on the insides, and have been playing it by ear page by page. It's been a lot of fun coming up with new ways to present each spell or poem.
So that's my official BOS. My unofficial one, that I'm pulling each page info from is a ragtag collection of composition books, binders, scrap papers and word files. Not quite as pretty, but they still get a lot of use.
I keep telling everyone that my altered bos is out of a need to recycle, but really, I'm just cheap, hee hee!

I am using scrapbooking techniques in my BOS, too! Awesome.

I have been using envelopes and a bit of natural glue compound and keeping everything that is basic for a spell in each one...I also keep a box for different parts of the bos..it has sampling of things for that section...I know a bit out but they didn't always have paper to do things..little bags work also..

I bought a scrapbook for mine, but haven't really done anything with it yet. I bought it because when it gets full I wanna be able to add more pages. My cover is of the tree of life, i copied it from a picture I like, cut it and traced it out with a silver paint pen, and then on the first 2 pages, I put quotes that inspire me. I twitter, and I follow people like Dan Millman ( authour of " The Life You Were Born To Live"), and Deepak Chopra (a leader in the spiritual world). They say alot of inspiring things that make me feel good, and that I am doing the right thing. So I thought it most fitting to put in my BOS. I've only been a Wiccan for about a year or so, so I haven't put much in it.

Many of these ideas and scrapbooks sound more like magical art journals than scrapbooks.
