Scrapbooking is an easy way to record your photos, memories, and memorabilia. It’s a fun hobby that brings out your creative side and can also have many health benefits.
Preparing Your Photos
The first step in creating a scrapbook page is to sort your photos and choose a focal point photo. Then, choose a background and paper for the layout, and decide how to embellish the photos.
Embellishments are decorative objects that add interest, color, or texture to a scrapbook page. You can use ribbons, stamps, stickers, pressed flowers, paint chips, and other items.
Titles
A title is an essential part of a scrapbook page. It can highlight the theme or topic of the page, or it can be an independent statement. You can handwrite a title, add swirls or creative extras to make it more decorative, or you can type it on a computer.
Journaling
A journal entry is an important component of a scrapbook page. It can tell a story about the photos, describe the event, or relate feelings and emotions to the subject. It can be handwritten, or typed and printed on a variety of surfaces such as vellum, tape, and paper.
Handwriting can be sloppy and you may make mistakes, but it’s a more personal way to tell a story. Most scrapbookers prefer to write their own journal entries, but some also like to type and print out blocks of text.
A scrapbook album is a special kind of book that holds your pages and embellishments. There are a wide variety of types and sizes, but the most popular are 12 x 12 inches.
