The art of scrapbooking involves preserving and celebrating personal memories by using photos, mementos, papers, and other decorative elements. These are often layered and embellished to enhance the images and tell a story. It is a great way to share life’s events with friends and family, and also keeps history preserved for future generations.
First, decide what you would like to scrapbook about. It can be anything from a wedding to your baby’s first year, or even your favorite holiday or vacation. Once you have your theme, begin by choosing a few photos to highlight. You can choose to focus on one page and tell a short story, or do an entire album for the occasion.
After that, select coordinating paper to use as mats for the photos and other embellishments you will add. It is fun to mix and match patterns and colors to give each page a unique look. Some people also like to use cut-outs and paper clips to draw the eye to a particular photo or to create a focal point on the page.
Many scrappers will also add journaling to the pages. It is a great way to remember the details of an event, and can be done by hand or on the computer. The most important thing is to preserve the memory and the mementos in an acid-free, protective album for years to come.
