We”ve included some information on each page for your reading.

Buy some basic supplies at the local scrapbook store or

craft store. Or if you have a friend already into

scrapbooking, borrow some tools.

You’ll want to buy an album, some printed paper, a pack

of colored paper (the same size as your album), card stock

(construction paper), a trimmer, a tape runner, a corner

rounder, good scissors, and some stickers or other embellishments.

Don’t go overboard buying a lot of stuff on your first trip to

the scrapbook store; it will overwhelm you before you even

get started.

Find a scrapping partner or take a mini-class.

Partnering with someone when you’re just starting out is a

great way to learn scrapbook techniques and borrow supplies.

Many independent scrapbook consultants hold parties where

you can “make and take” a few pages in one night for under

$10. There are many different materials and techniques that

you will learn and can incorporate into your scrapbooks.

Stamping, chalking, embossing, fastening (eyelets and brags),

paper tearing, and using fabric to name a few.

Organize your pictures for page layouts long before you

sit down to scrapbook.

Most people organize their pictures in chronological order

for their scrapbook. Others will group similar themed

pictures together for a page layout, like “sports”. Limit the

amount of pictures per page to 4 unless your album

is a larger size, like 12″ x 12″. This will keep your album

classy and not cluttered.

Use magazines for page layout ideas.

Purchase a scrapbook magazine or borrow from your friends

for page layout ideas. (The library is also great place to

get ideas from scrapbooking magazines). Using another source

for your inspiration may seem like cheating, but browsing

through a magazine will jump start your creativity every

time. I make notes on the page, rip it out and clip it to

the pictures I want to use for that layout. This is a huge

time saver. Huge!

Trimming, matting and journaling are the basic skills

you should master.

Trim your pictures to eliminate any distracting

background or foreground images. Use a corner rounder

to give your pictures a softer look. Pick a complementary

card stock color. Use the tape runner on the corners of

the back of the picture. Adhere the picture to the card

stock and trim the card stock to 1/4″ border around the

picture. Then adhere the matted pictures to your album

page with the tape runner. Matting will make your pictures

the focal point of the page.

Once your pictures are arranged on the page, journal the

day’s events or describe what is happening in the pictures.

Using your penmanship in scrapbooks is a great way to

pass on a piece of yourself to future generations.

Incorporate memorabilia into your scrapbook.

Mementos from an event or milestone are great scrapbook

embellishments. Some scrapbook companies even have special

pages that have transparent pockets to hold your treasures.

Don’t get stuck on finishing a page.

Many times you will look at your latest page and think

“there is something missing”. Don’t spend time staring at a

page that is 90% done, move onto the next page layout. When

you use a tape runner adhesive, it’s very easy to go back

and move or change a layout later without ruining anything.

Scrapbooking is easy if you don’t pressure yourself to be

perfect. Start out using these simple techniques and once

you gain confidence, learn more complicated techniques and

embellishing.
