Scrapbooking is the art of combining photos, memorabilia, and journalling to create a visual document of special memories. It can be a very emotional experience as it often brings to mind the stories behind the photos. It can be a great hobby for those who enjoy crafting and are interested in telling their family’s history.
The process of scrapbooking can be quite time consuming and the result is often beautiful. The most important thing to remember is that the end goal of the hobby is not only to preserve photographs and memorabilia but also to share these stories with family members. Taking the time to properly record these stories will ensure that they will be appreciated long after we are gone.
For those who prefer not to use glue and paper products, digital scrapbooking is an option. In this form of scrapbooking, the entire process is done on a computer using photo editing and design software. The end product is printed and then bound into an album.
One of the most common themes for a scrapbook is a trip or a significant event. To help tell the story of a trip, a map of the location can be used as a background to the page. In addition, ticket stubs from activities in the area and brochures can be added to highlight specific aspects of the trip.
Another way to add a personal touch to your pages is to cut up your photos and use them as letters for the layout. This is a great way to make the letters look more unique and a fun alternative to traditional solid color lettering.
