So you finally are ready to be a scrapper! Question now is,
how will you begin to capture those memories and tell your story? Without
doubt everyone will have their own unique way of expression. But what is
the best route to take in your early forays in the scrapbooking world? Easy ---
start with simple
scrapbooking layouts. Work initially with the basics and find
your way up.
Simple scrapbooking layouts normally have a focal point.
Choose the best picture that captures the story and make it the focus of the
scrapbook page. All other embellishments added to the page must help
highlight or balance the photo.
In this age of digital photography, there is a tendency (and the
means) to take lots of shots. Some scrappers are wont to waste them and
tend to find means to include as many as they can on the page. Don’t fall into
this trap. Instead, just choose the best of the best and limit the number of
photos in the page. Aside from the focal picture, choose a few best shots
that will support the story.
If you already have simple
scrapbooking layouts to
work on, you can keep it simpler still by choosing one or two layouts and just
change them each time you use them by having different patterned papers and
decorations.
Starting a scrapbooking hobby can be quite rewarding. Aside
from providing an outlet to express your creativity it is also an excellent way
to store memories. And just as is often said, no task is daunting if your heart
is in it and if you start from the basics.
