Are you wanting to start scrapbooking, but needing ideas on how to go about it? Watching online videos about scrapbooking
ideas is a good place to start, as most of the videos have been created by experienced scrapbookers.
To come up with fresh ideas for your scrapbooking projects, first look at making a list of potential themes, which in turn
will fill your head with concepts.
There is no limit to the types of themes you can use in your scrapbooking. Whether you choose to highlight a specific
event or you are composing a large, family album, the choice is up to you. Here are some ideas for themes:
1. Family Album Themes. For personal use you may choose to create a family album. Each occasion can be
given a theme - seasons, holidays, family reunions, sporting events, etc.
If a family album is too big to tackle, consider creating a scrapbook for each child. A babies 'firsts' including
their first lost tooth, a lock of hair, baby booties, even a newborn diaper are excellent additions to a baby scrapbook.
2. Individual Album Themes. Some scrapbookers like to create small albums as gifts or as an alternative
to a family style album. Ideas like a babies birth, graduation, marriage or other momentous occasion can be selected to
give a unique gift.
Scrapbooking is a way to preserve precious memories. Think back on your special memories -
each of those can provide a multitude
of scrapbooking themes and ideas. You can try the search box (top left) to find more specific online videos about scrapbooking ideas.
I always thought that the idea behind a "scrapbook" was to use bits and pieces, ie "scraps" found around the house,bits bought home from holidays etc..nowadays its just the opposite. I wanted to do my son's baby photos and before I knew it, I had a $300 bill..I checked out around the house, I use old wallpaper, cards, xmas paper, leaves, shells, buttons, foil..ribbonsand lots of imagination. then its a trip down my memory lane -
