Like all art projects, there are no hard and fast principles for scrapbooking (that’s the wonderful thing about making a scrapbook!). All the same, if you’re a total newbie, being mindful of a few popular guidelines is handy:-
Think about the subject of your scrapbooking project. The subject should influence the style and presentation of the scrapbook. For example, if you are creating an album to celebrate a the birth of a child or wedding, then you should pick out embellishments, papers and colours that present one unified style in relation to that subject.
OK, now a theme has been selected, consider the cloths, fabrics, and papers you wish to utilise. For instance, you may wish to use scrapbooking haberdashery in your scrapbook.
An effective tip to setting the topic of your page is to name it. Apply stickers or die cut letters to spell out your title, or even use a computer and print out the title.
If you’re writing a small journal on the page, scribble it out on notepaper first to perfect the wording.
There’s no strict regulation about how many photographs to stick on any given page, but they should have some kind of relation to your theme. Choose a variety of photographs that you can apply as you design the page.
The most important aspect is that you enjoy the process of making your scrapbook. Making a scrapbook is a past-time that many individuals love doing and you’ll discover there’s a big online community prepared to share their advice and help you in your scrapbooking endeavours.
