Crazy About Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is not a new art, in fact it was very popular in Victorian times when it was a hobby for young ladies who would paste 'scraps' often romantic pictures or pictures of the Royal family into large albums.  These antique albums in good condition are now highly sought after and valuable.

Todays scrapbooks are usually a more personal item - wheras young Victorian ladies rarely had access to many photographs of family and friends we can now use these freely and the wide range of embellishments available to buy make todays scrapbooks art works in their own right.

Scrapbooking Sketches 

Trust me I know what it feels like to stare aimlessly at a blank page for hours. In fact, I used to get so frustrated and upset when I would go scrapbooking with my sister-in-law, because by the time I would get one page almost finished (if I was lucky to get one completed) she would already have 5 or even 6 beautiful pages put together. I keep wondering how this was possible. Maybe I lacked the creativity gene needed to produce work you would be proud to show your family.

Imagine how this felt - showing up week after week - with only half-finished pages. I think my family was starting to feel sorry for me. I'm sure they thought I was wasting my time and should throw in the towel and quit.

Lucky for you I didn't. In fact, I began producing awe-inspiring pages during the commercials of my favorite tv show...and in a flash of insight, I had found the truth:

A Starter's Guide to Scrapbooking 

By Jeffery Dodd

If you are the type of person who takes a lot of pictures and stores tons of memorabilia from different events in your life, scrapbooking is for you. Many people have now come to realize the beauty and wonder of scrapbooking. Scrapbooks do not only allow you to store beautiful pictures and memorabilia of your loved one's birthday party or a vacation abroad. Going into the hobby of scrapbooking also allows you to improve your artistic and creative abilities. If you are considering the idea of starting a new scrapbook, here are some good ideas that can help you get started:

Choose durable scrapbooking materials. Your scrapbook will serve as your memoir of unforgettable events that you want to be always remembered. You should therefore invest on quality scrapbooking materials so your scrapbook will last a lifetime. You have to select albums with acid free pages. You will be affecting the longevity and color of your pictures and memorabilia if you use papers with high levels of acid. The pens you should be using to input your captions and texts should also be acid free and are made of inks that do not easily bleed and fade.

Be creative. There are ready made scrapbook templates that are available in the market but what beats a personalized album that reflects the idea and creativity of the owner? Instead of purchasing stickers and embellishments to design and decorate your scrapbook, use readily available materials from your home or store boxes. Instead of buying a postcard to highlight your vacation to Japan, for example, you may use plane tickets you used in your travel or passes to tourist destinations that you have visited in the country.

Get help and ideas from others. To help you make the most of your first experience doing a scrapbook, it would be helpful to ask help and get ideas from others. There are a lot of scrapbook enthusiast communities that you can join. Members of these communities can give you first hand information on scrapbooking tips and tricks. A lot of scrapbooking samples and ideas are also posted in the internet. You may visit websites that feature scrapbooking articles to get an idea at how some people make their scrapbooks. If you happen to know a friend or a relative who is already into the hobby of scrapbooking, you will find his help and assistance valuable.

Now that you have this basic know how on making the best out of your scrapbooking experience, it would be high time for you to start planning on the presentation and content of your album. Just remember though that scrapbooking is not merely about papers, pens and postcards. What really count are the memories and events that you want to be captured in the pages of your scrapbook.
