Scrapbooking is a very hands on pastime which is why I found a scrapbooking video guide a must.
It is very easy to start off on any creative project and let your ego carry you away - I know I’ve been there.
But as with everything there are some boundaries, and guidelines out there to get beautiful results that we’d never have given thought to ourselves.
Also; especially with scrapbooking you can sometimes get a bit stuck for ideas and wish for a new lease of life as far as creative expression and imagination goes.

Albums are among the essential materials that you would need to consider in the scrapbooking projects. They are the body that builds the bulk of papers, cards and embellishments and act as protectors of your memorabilia.

From what I read and see, many scrappers are turning away from the high-maintenance time consuming and expensive scrapbook page. I think one thing that has changed in the scrapbook industry is the number of scrappers who have time or even like to spend 2 hours (or even 2 days) on a single page. Most of us have figured out that we are buried under a growing mountain of photos. As my husband pointed out to me last week- digital photography has become a scrapper’s best friend AND worst enemy. I snap digital photos like there’s no tomorrow because I know I can print out ONLY the ones I actually want. However, because I take so many photos, I now have MORE good ones that I want to scrap. You can’t win! So, many of us are buckling down and turning away from the artistic side of scrapping and moving towards the “just get it done” side.

When doing a scrapbook page the easiest way to spice it up is to add a few different stickers to each scrapbook page. If you are doing a page a page that portrays people doing renovations on a house there are scrapbook stickers with saws, or hammers, you can find scrapbook stickers with houses, or pieces of lumber. These types of stickers will help to add a different touch to the story you are telling on the page. There are all kinds of different themes in scrapbook stickers for instance the seasons or sports or holidays. Each different holiday has tons of different scrapbook stickers that you can use to enhance the pictures on the scrapbook page you are doing. If you are doing a page for a St Patrick’s day parade there are shamrocks and leprechauns that you can add to your scrapbook page. A popular scrapbook page for kids is a sports page, if your child is in soccer for instance there are soccer ball scrapbook stickers, or trophies. For just about every sport you can find some kind of scrapbook stickers. If you do any travelling you will have no trouble finding stickers that depict all sorts of vacation destinations. There are lots of scrapbook stickers that are themed around crusing, beaches and airplanes. If you are telling the story of your vacation and start with a flight to your destination you probably didn’t take a picture of that plane so you could use a scrapbook sticker of a plane to show that a plane was involved in your vacation then add some scrapbook stickers from the destination itself.
