| A Guide For The Scrapbook Neophyte
|
Scrapbooking has become one of the most popular hobbies around. For people who are still looking for one, here are different types of scrapbook themes that will surely interest people into getting into scrapbooking.
1. Portrait photograph album
This is a modification of the good old school album theme. This is best for people who are in the habit of having portrait packages taken. Extra photos can be utilized to make the album look special. Select a large-sized album and try to keep the decorating simple. Along with basic journal entries, you only need stickers to enhance the appearance of its page. One great tip: Pocket pages can be created in the back of the album to keep duplicate pictures.
2. Recipe album
Here is a scrapbook theme for those who wish to have their recipes organized. First, go through the collection of recipes and eliminate those that aren't needed anymore. A simple way to create the scrapbook is to sort the recipes by food category, in alphabetical order, then attach them using a ring binder. To add a nice touch, index the recipes then type them using the computer, then attach it to the front or back of the book.
3. Special events scrapbook
Keep memories alive by chronicling them into a scrapbook. Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and engagements can be the subject of the book. Aside from the photos, memorabilias used for the event such as place cards, invitations or even napkins can be included.
4. Travel scrapbook
When on a vacation, stock up on all the memorabilia available, and of course, that means lots of photos. You should snap pictures every chance available, of landmarks, signposts, and the hotel room. Past trips can still be made into a scrapbook, by simply gathering all photos that are still available and making them into a great album.
5. Heritage photo scrapbook
This book consists of old black and white or sepia photographs that are attached on some photographer's cards. Extreme care should be exercised to remove and paste the photos since they could be damaged, given their age.
6. Kids' scrapbook
This is the perfect scrapbook for doting moms and dads. Let the children have duplicates of their photos and let them work on the book, using their own design. This will enable them to explore and develop their own creativity. Later on, when they get older, they will cherish this scrapbook because of all the memories stored.
Scrapbooking is a great hobby for all people because these books holds stuff and information that is a part of a people's lives.
