Does anyone else scrapbook their BoS and would be willing to share ideas?

I have a Scrap BOS and a BOS.
In my SBOS I have a page for the blessing, a page for my scrying orb (complete with picture, date obtained, name, and properties), and a page for my patron (picture, name, associations).
I plan on adding a page for my handfasting, a page for each of the sabbats, and so on, complete with pictures, herbs, etc.

I love the idea of Scrapping my BOS because you can add and rearrange the pages as needed, add color and signature techniques, and so on.
I'm actually talking to a few other local witches about getting a scrapbooking party together specifically for BOS pages.

I scrapbook my bos. My lover, partner and friend actually found a wood scrapbook blank at a local Michael's store and wood burned an amazing image into the front for me. I haven't picked a stain yet, but I love my bos in this format. It frees me from having to add items to pages that are already bound into a book. I can pick different paper designs and colors for each page, scrapbooking materials are generally acid free (or low acid) so that the pages will not wither away with time, the pages are held within page protectors so they will not wear with repeated page turning and I can add or take away as many pages as I want.

I also love that Michael's sales extender bindings for the wood scrapbook. This allows me to make my bos as big or as small as I want and rearrange pages as needed.

The first picture is my book as a hole and the second picture is the really neat feather letters that she found on the microsoftword website!

Wow, your book is gorgeous. I can't wait to see how the staining will turn out. You're partner is awesome and quite a spiffy artist.

I love to scrapbook my BOS! My personal favorite is to add graphics and stickers to my journal pages.
What are some of the things that you like?

I love to add bit from the spells I do like broken seashell pieces or a flower petal. I also like to add cut out calendar dates and an important event or ritual. I still have all my basic scrapping stuff but I really like adding the original stuff.

Great question!!!

I love this too
I even add a bit of candle wax dripped onto the page if the spell or rite called for candle burning

Great idea! I'm going to have to copy cat you and start doing this myself!
