Scrapbooking Sketches Save The Day


Scrapbooks are a lively journal of memories one wishes to commemorate through time. Each page is a story unfolding as life rolls on. Scrapbooking has always been seen as a fun hobby and has continued to become more popular in recent years. It has indeed become an industry in itself – proof of that is the ever growing availability and variations of creative materials you see in craft shops and novelty stores. 

But have you experienced printing your photos, buying all those colorful craft materials, and all set to pursue your new hobby – and slip on the layout dilemma? You can’t seem to find the best fit to capture your story. You couldn’t be alone as this is the stumbling block for many new scrappers. As they say, we all have a story to tell, but we all aren't good storytellers. 

Scrapbooking sketches do save the day for new hobbyists. The ready layout sketches give you the motivation and idea on how to proceed with your story without losing your creativity altogether. The sketches allow you to see how your photos and other elements you put in your page will look like even before starting your actual project. 

The sketches make scrapbooking more accessible and enjoyable; boosting your confidence that you will have enough time and energy to “keep” the moment alive and yes, tell your story.

  1. Too true. Sketches can be a great source of inspiration. My advice for new scrapbookers is choose one color from the photo and base your page around that. Always easier to start when some choices are already made :)

  2. Thank you for the inspiration - I have a part completed scrapbook for my daughter when she was a baby - I must get it out and complete it!
