Traditional Scrapbooking vs Digital Scrapbooking
Although many use facebook or emails in our communication with friends, there are still many who do not want to use the facebook or do not use the email as much. There are cherishable moments that simply cannot be replaced by the internet. Traditional scrapbooks still have a unique place in our social gatherings. When we attend a gathering with friends, we often talk about our family, what happens to us recently. If you bring along a hand made scrapbook, you will be surprised at the attention drawn and praises and fun that goes along with it. People will admire your homemade photo album. It will simply open up to endless conversations about the old times, recent times, and stories. Try it for yourself!
Getting Organized
The first step is to get everything organized. Get ready your photos. You need to sort and print them out. Create categories and organize them around them. Think about what's the theme you want to focus? How many photos you want to post? What's your budget in getting all materials? Write down your thoughts and ideas you have around these.
Purchase Album
There are hundreds of types of albums you can choose. Choose one that most fit your theme. Think about how you want your pages be held in the album: like can you insert extra page into it? Or you could make your own album.
Embellishments
The album will look much nicer and personalized with decorations. You can get all kinds of things from everywhere: home, seashore... Turn "waste" into something useful and nice. Buttons, ribbons, stickers, magazines, old wrapping paper, old clothes...
Paper Cutter
You need a professional paper cutter! How to make a unique scapbook depends on how to get the suitable materials.
