Scrapbooking has become a global phenomenon, with enthusiasts across the world sharing layouts and ideas online. This once personal hobby has reached a level of popularity unprecedented in its history, as scrapbookers seek to tell their unique stories more effectively. Whether the pages spring to life in quiet basements or at raucous crafting parties, they’re all a product of this close-knit community that actively helps and teaches each other new methods, techniques and ideas.
Whether you choose to work on a specific theme or just create each page as it comes to you, deciding on your page design before you begin can be a big help in making the process more effective and less frustrating. Choosing a layout design that fits your theme can save you time as you create, allow you to use your supplies more fully and give your finished book a cohesive look.
Consider mating your photos with patterned paper or fabric to make them stand out and draw attention to the focal point of each page. Layering images and word art can also add interest to your pages. Experiment with different fonts and styles to find those that suit your page design best. Digital scrapbookers can utilize photo frame shapes to create a digital border and can also experiment with text effects such as shadows and outlines.
If you’re working on a themed album, try to limit yourself to one or two main colors and patterns for your patterned papers and embellishments. By using a consistent color scheme, you can ensure that your theme pages all come together with a cohesive look.
