Scrapbooking is a popular hobby that can bring out your inner artist and help you tell your story through the art form of creative design. It also offers a way for you to mentally process events and memories in a visual manner, which can be beneficial in helping your memory retain more information. There are many different ways to get started with scrapbooking, including buying a prefabricated book and using it to store photos, memorabilia and journal blocks. The key to successful scrapbooking is ensuring that you have all of the necessary supplies and creating a crafting space that will inspire your creativity.
Choosing a theme
Select a theme that will guide you in selecting photos and embellishments for your scrapbook. This can be a particular time frame in your life such as a vacation or a holiday, an event such as a wedding or baby’s first year, a family event such as a reunion or a milestone such as turning 40. Once you have a theme, choose the photos that are most important to include in your album. Then, sort and select the matching papers, embellishments and a layout for the page. Make sure that you have a good supply of craft glue and water and an electric or battery-operated hot-glue gun.
Remember that a scrapbook isn’t just about photos – you can also incorporate ticket stubs, postcards, love letters, and receipts. Just be sure to keep the embellishments flat so that your pages will close properly.
