Scrapbooking is a creative art form that combines photos, mementos and journaling into a unique keepsake. Many people have found that scrapbooking is a therapeutic activity, helping them to process events and memories as they create a visual display of them.
The first step in making a scrapbook is to choose the photos you would like to include. Then, choose the album in which they will be placed and any other embellishments that will go with your theme or special category. Once you have all your photos and mementos, organize them in a labeled folder or envelope for easy retrieval.
To make a scrapbook, you will need the following items:
Albums come in several sizes and styles, including 12″x12″, and 8.5″x11″. You can also find albums that are specifically made for digital or hybrid scrapbooking. Mini albums are another popular option, and can be either purchased or hand made.
Then you will need a selection of paper and cardstock, acid free/photo safe adhesive, and a pen to journal. For a more artistic touch, you can add patterned papers, stickers and diecuts.
Journaling is a vital part of a scrapbook. This is where you can describe the event, retell feelings and emotions, and give meaning to each photo. Some scrappers prefer to hand write their journal entries, while others enjoy typing or printing their words. Either way, you will need to choose a font that will be visually appealing on the page, and that fits your personality and style.
