Creating scrapbook pages is not only a great way to preserve memories, but it’s also good for your mental health. Crafting releases dopamine in the brain, which can improve your mood and increase feelings of accomplishment. Plus, it’s a great way to relieve stress. This is why it’s no surprise that many people report benefits from scrapbooking.
Scrapbooking is a versatile hobby that can be done on paper, fabric, or even old family photos. Modern scrappers use a variety of tools, including punches, embossing powders and stencils. They also use stickers, patterned papers, wood veneers, and more to enhance their creations.
The first step in scrapbooking is to decide on a theme. This will save time when creating the pages, help you better utilize your supplies and create a cohesive look for the book.
Once you’ve decided on a theme, locate all the items you want to include in your book. This can be anything from photos to handwritten recipes to concert tickets and boarding passes. For fragile items, consider using ribbon mounts to prevent damage.
Next, sort your photos and select a focal photo to place on each page. For supporting photos, double-mat them on the same piece of cardstock for a more cohesive look.
Create a title for the page by handwriting it or adding swirls, stamps or other creative extras to make the text stand out. You can also use sticker letters or a stencil to add the wording to your pages.
