Scrapbooking is not just putting up photos together with supplies in an album, which in itself can be a daunting task for a beginner, it is a hobby in which the most treasured moments in life are preserved for posterity, and it includes eight necessary steps which any beginner should know:
1. The 1st step involves the sorting out of the photos into subjects or themes before beginning work on the selected set.
2. After that is done, the photographs should be complemented with a few colors of acid-free paper or cardstock.
3. The third step begins with picking the one photo which is going to be the focus of the page, and cropping it if required.
4. To spotlight the photograph select some photographs that may be disheveled and then spice up with some journaling. You may also decorate it with some stickers and gildings and eventually stick them up on the page.
5. The fifth step is to obtain a large amount of varieties of scrapbooking supplies, but bear in mind not to get lost in the sea of variety. The supplies will include an album along with refill pages for it, pair of scissors, some glue, cardstock and printed papers, and some pens for writing in the journal.
6. One of the most important facets of scrapbooking is journaling. Without journaling the scrapbook with just the pictures in it will look meaningless, especially after a long time has passed and people have forgotten the relevance.
7. Journaling is creating a story around the photograph and may contain a title as well as a date for easy remembrance or it may be large paragraphs. The key components to good journaling are: it should be written from the heart, using a poem or quote and fonts should be used sparingly.
8. After you have mastered the art of scrapbooking basics, you shouldnt have a problem creating a cool scrapbook, and you can share the finished pages in it with your family as well as others. If you are looking for some inspiration to create an even better scrapbook, then it would be a good idea to share your scrapbook with some likeminded scrapbookers.
