Scrapbooking is a craft hobby that brings out your inner artist. It involves putting together pictures, memorabilia and embellishments to create an artistic layout of personal memories. You can make a scrapbook for a specific event, a trip or a whole year in review. You can also scrapbook a specific person or family history, focusing on events in their life and telling a story about them.
Choose your theme and gather your materials. Scrapbooking can be a very personal craft, so the best way to begin is by identifying why you want to create your scrapbook. This could be as simple as having stacks of photos in a drawer or wanting to document your children’s growth over the years. You can also use your scrapbook to create a photo album of a specific trip or a family holiday.
Once you have a focus, decide which photos and memorabilia you will include. For example, if you are doing a travel scrapbook, you might choose a handful of photos and maps from each city you visited. Once you have the photos chosen, you can start to assemble your page by mating them and adding background elements. Experiment with different combinations of page elements and embellishments to see what you like best.
You can also write in your scrapbook or journal, adding captions or quotes. Often people handwrite the words in their scrapbook, but some prefer to type or print them. It is important that any words you add to your pages be appropriate and relevant to the subject matter of the page. It’s also good to consider how the words will fit with the overall aesthetic of the page.
