Creating Scrapbook Layout Designs
Basically, there are THREE main parts to your scrapbook layout design:
- Your Photos
- The Background Design You Lay Your Photos Out On
- The Journaling (or the text that describes the photos).
Sounds very simple, doesn't it? And really, it is! There's really not too much more to the art of scrapbooking than those three parts. The hardest part is the the creative process to present your image in a unique way blending the background and photos using color theory to provide an attractive backdrop for your photographs.. The placement of the photos, the pieces that make up the background design, and the "story-telling" journal entries are all left up to your own individual talents.
A helpful way of developing creative scrapbooking ideas is to check other creations and use some of these ideas to help with your own projects. It is a good idea to keep notes when you are researching scrapbooking layout ideas so that you can write down your own inspirational ideas that arise.
