There is a first time for everything!!!!!!
Well this is my first post on my very first blog.
Wow...Why am I doing this??
I am doing this because I LOVE scrapbooking and card making and I thought this would be fun. I would like everybody to see how easy it is......how fun it is.....and how relaxing and enjoyable scrapbooking can be. I think alot of people find it very scarey, overwhelming and they don't know where to start.
1. Photos: Scrapbooking starts with your photos. Choose photos that are meaningful to you and your family.
2. An acid free, lignin free album: There are tons to choose from.
3. Page protectors: These are required to protect the finished pages in your album. Fingerprints and food are NOT good for photos.
4. Photo-safe adhesive: You must find a good photo-safe adhesive, look for one that you like to use.
5. Black pigma ink pen: Journaling is what adds life to scrapbooking pages. These pens are safe for journaling in scrapbooks or you can use your computer and print your journaling out.
6. Scissors and trimmer: Sometimes you need to crop (or cut) photos. It's necessary to have a great pair of scissors and a trimmer to use when starting a scrapbook project.
Now it's time to start scrapbooking.
The first step to start scrapbooking is to organize your photos. You can organize your photos chronologically or by theme or by any method of your choice. It's your choice, it's your decision!
After you have your photos sorted, it's time to start planning your page. The simplest way to plan a page is to place your photos on the album page and move them around as desired until you find a layout that appeals to you. Once you've found a layout that you like, it's time to find some colours, embellishments and a title to add to your page. When that's done you can now cut and glue and add your pictures and embellishments to the page and presto you are almost done.
Spend a few minutes writing about the photos (this is your journaling). When you've finished journaling, you are ready to slide on a page protector and that's it! You just mastered how to start scrapbooking! Easy, wasn't it?
Happy Scrapping!
Till next time.
