Scrapbooking is a hobby that involves collecting photos, memorabilia and embellishments and sticking them together on a page of an album. It is popular among families who want to preserve their memories and it can also be a great way for people with a creative mind to express themselves. It can also be a way to connect with family and friends and is a fun way to spend time.
The most common size for a scrapbook is 12 x 12 inches, which allows you to fit several pictures, pieces of memorabilia and journaling on a single page. However, 8 1/2 x 11 inch albums are also common and work well for specific themes such as vacations, school years or children.
One of the most important steps in creating a scrapbook is to choose your theme and gather your materials. This will help you to narrow down your choices of embellishments and will make putting the album together easier. Organizing your materials can also save you time later on when you are creating a page. It is also helpful to group your materials based on the story you are trying to convey. This can help you to tell a story that flows naturally and also creates a visually cohesive look for the album.
When choosing the papers and other adornments for your pages, be sure to select ones that are acid-free and archival quality. This will prevent your pages from yellowing and deteriorating over time. Also, be sure to use a matte finish rather than glossy as it is less prone to fingerprint smudges.
