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.
