Does anyone have any scrapbooking Ideas?

Question

I am 15 years old and working on my first scrapbook! I am making it for the whole year of 2008. I have pictures from holidays, family trips, hanging out with friends, pets, etc.

Since it is my first scrapbook, I am looking for any tips.

On all my pages I put pictures on a cute piece of scrapbook paper and make a paper border around them. Sometime I use crazy scissors to do this. Then I add stickers that match the theme to the page.

Are there any other things you guys to to add more pizazz to your page? To make it more fun? ANY tips would be apprieciated. I want my first scrapbook to look really cute and fun to look at when I am older.

Thanks!:)

Answer 1

The other responders gave helpful suggestions. Don't forget to add personal items to your pages such as tickets, itineraries, song lyrics, candy bar wrappers, menus, shaker boxes with beach sand and tiny shells,brochures, or something like this. Use ribbon. If you can afford it, go to JoAnne's and get a small recording device for about 10.00 and record a 10-second message. Fix it to a page behind a photo or sticker or personal item so that people can press it to hear your message.

Make some of your pictures 3-D. Make double prints of your pictures and cut out around the people in one. Then fix it on top of its full double print using foam sticker squares.

You can also cut around the person (s) in a picture and glue them on top of a picture of one of the places you visited. For example: cut out a person and glue them on top of the Statue of Liberty (or wherever you went) as if they are hanging off.  Good luck and have fun:)

Answer 2

stickers are great, but creating your own designs with shape makers is really fun, too!

When doing a whole year in one album, organization is KEY! Make sure you get your pictures organized first, so that you don't skip an important event!

And ABSOLUTELY make sure that you "journal" - labeling people, places, events and your thoughts about them - 10 years form now, you want to be able to read that story.
