Happy Sunday everyone! We love everything about
scrapbooking, from deciding on a theme and what to include to having a
beautiful final product full of memories and keepsakes to hold on to, so we
decided to gather some of our favourite tips and ideas that you can use for
inspiration on your very own scrapbook…
Scrapbooking
is a wonderful way to store all of those happy memories, tell stories and
celebrate special occasions. The beauty of a scrapbook is that it gives you a
great opportunity to get really creative with what you’re making. A scrapbook
can contain anything at all, from photos, old tickets, newspaper clippings, and
so much more.
One of our
top tips with getting started with your scrapbook, is to make sure you have a theme before you begin. Wedding Scrapbooks, Travel Scrapbooks, Baby Scrapbooks,
Birthday Scrapbooks, you name it, if you can think of theme, you can create it!
We love this Family Heritage theme from Genealogy or
maybe celebrate moving house with a scrapbook to track your move into your new
home like this one from Debbie Hodge?
Once you’ve
decided what will be in your scrapbook, you can start thinking of the layout
and style you want to use. There is loads of inspiration out there, but a top
tip is not to go overboard, and stick to a few key concepts that you can carry
through the whole scrapbook. Check out this great advice from Paper Wishes, including first hand do’s and don’ts!
Be sure
to fill your pages with lots of artistic flair, and include unique detailing
in your borders, layouts, stamping and more. Martha Stewart has some lovely
inspiration including these crafty Accordion Pages, and check out DIY Ready for lots of inspiration such as using buttons, stencils and paper-crafts to really add
something special to your scrapbook, and remember to visit Hochanda to find all your
scrapbooking supplies.
We hope we’ve inspired you to create your own, happy
scrapbooking!
