Scrapbook

Scrapbooking is a way to preserve personal and family memories by displaying the images, including photographs and print media. When you start working on scrapbooking, you'll easily spend a lot of money until you know what the appropriate type of craft products you use. Suppose you like using stickers in the scrapbook, but seldom use a rubber stamp.

Including you and I definitely have some photos stored in boxes somewhere. With a scrapbook, the photos you placed on the best medium that can be enjoyed by others and of course you want to see goldfish memories ago. You will need a loose leaf binder, some plastic page protectors, and some colored cardstock for starters. Many paper crafts experts insist on only archive quality materials. Check the labels that you buy. Most paper products, even the cheaper, labeled "acid-free," meaning that should not be faded or damaged if stored for a long time. Sunlight can fade the color of your photo memories, avoid paper crafts you are in the sun very often.

To start a scrapbook you have several options. You can select photos that all relate to an event, such as travel or child's participation in sports. Type scrapbook will be short, but can be designed around a theme. This is a good choice if your photos are not in a jumble. If they do, then you may want to select three or four images around a common theme, and change the theme for each page. You may want to include some 2 page spreads in your scrapbook.

Attach your photos to cardstock box with a double tape or gluestick. Then it's time to decorate the pages with stickers, paper shapes, or rubber stamped designs. In addition, you can use colored gel pen to write dates, names, and other highlights of the activities in the picture.

Other items are available at craft stores paper. This includes cutting die, which are pieces of paper that has been cut into shapes and objects. There are also special scissors that cut paper with an interesting edge. A pair of type called "deckle" scissors is very useful for creating a page that looks elegant scrapbook, greeting cards and other paper crafts. If you also have an old pair of serrated scissors are too dull to cut fabric, you can use them to cut out shapes and photos.
