Scrapbooking Ideas
from:Even if you don't have a creative bone in your body, you can still come up with something which is pleasing to the eye when making a scrapbook.
Just go with whatever it is that you feel like doing, have fun or do it with somebody else - a friend or a younger member of the family.
You can look at samples online or have a scrapbooking enthusiast show you his or her work. Then you can gather concepts to apply when you make your own.
Here are some great ideas for you to use when making the ultimate scrapbook:
1. Album
You can buy these online or at a local crafts store. The album that you choose will dictate the overall design of the album so take your time in picking one.
Look at the material used in the paper. If you plan to make a collage and include heavier materials, look for a thicker paper. The regular thickness of craft paper will do if you just want to stick many different photos in your scrapbook.
There are various sizes to choose from, beginning from a letter-size album which is 8 ½" x 11" or the smaller square-sized paper of 6" or 8".
For a smaller format, you can use just one or two pictures to showcase on each page and just add on embellishments.
2. Themes
Look around you and you will surely find an inspiration when it comes to the theme of your scrapbook.
The weather is one example, look for a bright-orange or yellow-based color. Then, you could cut out photos of sunflowers and loop a yellow yarn and glue it on to represent the sun.
Next, paste the pictures on the pages of your scrapbook and finish up with writing a personalized quote or paste a clipping from a newspaper. Glue on additional memorabilia of a different medium then your scrapbook is as good as gold.
3. Borders
You can use the same theme for the borders as the page itself or the borders of the photos.
Pasting a picture on top of a paper which will serve as your border will add depth to your scrapbook layout.
You can also cut a big shape then inscribe another shape or pattern - like a square inscribed in a circle, then place the photo underneath the border.
4. Design and Layout
You can either go with the theme and coordinate it with the design or make a completely different design altogether.
Within the layout, you can go with the standard photos or memorabilia items in the middle or you can put them on either side of the page.
