Far Out Tips for the Scrapbook Fanatic
from:Scrapbooking is one of the most popular hobbies around the world. People like doing scrapbooks because it enables them to explore their creativity and store precious mementos that have become part of their lives.
Any scrapbook fan already knows the basics of making the books. This article will provide additional tips that they might have not discovered yet. These will help enormously in making scrapbooks even more creative and special.
1. Using the computer for writing journals or page titles
Handwriting has always been the method commonly used to create headings, but many users nowadays turn to the computer for the task. To make it more special, use other colors available in Microsoft Word to write the fonts, instead of using the standard black ink. Present editions of Word offer a huge variety of fonts, colors, and special effects that can make texts much more attractive.
2. Creative use for paper scraps
Think twice before throwing out those bits and scraps of leftover paper. They can still be used to make decorative titles by cutting them up into odd shapes and use them as mats. These scraps can also be used as great-looking page accents, confettis, photo corners, collages and so much more.
3. Neat way in lettering page titles and journal layouts
This is a good tip to make sure that there are no pencil outlines visible after the letters are cut out from the paper. Do it in reverse! Put the paper on its right side, so that you can draw the letters backwards.
4. Make use of photo mosaics
This technique will add a funky look to the pages of the book. Cut a photograph into different shapes and sizes, then mat a photograph on a cardboard, putting even spaces around each piece as you paste them. Just make sure to keep a copy of the photo that you've cut up.
5. Safe way of removing old photos
Everyone knows that it's hard to take out pictures from those magnetic albums. To ace this, try using dental floss for the removal.
6. Baby footprints
A cute and adorable way to design a book. Just apply washable ink to baby's foot and firmly press on the paper. Just make sure to wash the ink off the baby! For another twist, handprints can be used.
