Scapbooking Beginner Tips. Getting Started With Scapbooking
Scrapper Block
You know what this is, kind of like writers block. The best solution for this is to pick up a Scrap booking magazine or go online and search for page layouts. My e-Book also has some very creative ideas.
Storage Idea
With Scrap booking, you will have small craft items such as eyelets, ribbons, buttons or glitter Try storing them in your empty film canisters.
Picture Placement
Always make sure that all your pictures and stickers fit onto your page and are placed exactly where you like them best. Some types of glue are very adhesive and you may have a hard time pulling them up once they have been
glued down.
Cheap Embellishments
Check out the gift-wrap department at your local Target or Wal-Mart store. You can find some really cute die cuts with sticky foam already attached in may themes and colors.
Duplicate
If you are nervous about cropping your original pictures, an easy solution is to always get duplicates when developing your pictures or copy them on a color copier.
Postcards
When traveling, record your experiences by mailing yourself postcards that detail your trip that can be used later in your album or store them in a minialbum with a picture from your trip.
Information
Always use a photo-safe marker to record who, what, where and when onto the back of each photo.
Rubber Stamps
When using a new rubber stamp, always test it 3 or 4 times on a scrap piece of paper to ensure even distribution of ink.
Titles
Your title should immediately identify the subject of the page or of you book. They can be done freehand or you can use stickers or letter templates to add texture and color to your title.
Journaling
Journaling brings your album to life. Your journaling piece should include who’s in your photo, what they are doing and when it happened. It should tell a story that will bring back your memories for years to come.
Storage
Never store your photo or memorabilia in a cardboard box. They are not good for photos. Always store these precious items in archival-safe photo boxes or page protectors.
