Scrapbooking is an art form that combines photos and memorabilia with journaling to create a unique and personal artifact of life’s important moments. It is an activity that requires a great deal of creative thinking and planning to put together a scrapbook, but it can also be very relaxing and meditative.
Many scrappers use a variety of tools and supplies to add flair to their work. Some common items include glue, paper, punches, rubber stamps and markers. Some scrappers also use wood veneers and washi tape to accent their pages. When making a scrapbook, it is important to use acid-free and archival materials. This ensures that the items will remain in good condition over time and are not destroyed or damaged by the chemicals used to make the paper.
A scrapbook is usually kept in an album, which can be either permanent bound or allow for the insertion of individual pages. The most popular albums are 12 inch (30 cm) square, but smaller sizes have become increasingly popular. Clear page protectors are often used to protect the pages from moisture and dust.
When starting a scrapbook, it is important to decide on a theme. This will help guide the selection of photos and memorabilia that will be included in the book. Some popular themes are weddings, vacations and years-in-review. Once the theme is chosen, the rest of the book can be planned out based on those specific events and memories.
