Scrapbooking Tips Information and Techniques

By Stephanie Boyle



When I start scrapbooking, how do I know what not to do? I know we all ask ourselves those questions when you start a new project or a new hobby. There is so many things you can do, and nothing is wrong in the scrapbooking world. There are just a few pointers of things that will help you save time along the way and create a better scrapbook to keep your memories.





First of all digital prints for cameras is the only way to go. You can use a regular 35 mm to take your pictures however you will not be taking as many photos. In which case you may lose out on some vital moments and photos that would have worked great in a scrapbook. By using digital photography, you end up taking more pictures of an event so you have more to choose from. Another benefit of using digital prints is that way if you end up cutting a photo and changing your mind, you can always throw that away and all you have to do is go to your computer and get another copy of the same photo printed. No worries, no loss. You can also minimize or enlarge you pictures on the computer to fit with the page you are looking to make.





Second of all, make sure you have all the tools you will need and of good quality. They do not need to be the most expensive tools but they need to work well. If you try using a product that does not work well or scissors that are not sharp, you will have difficulties along the way creating your scrapbook. It also will not look completely finished unless you have the right tools.





Third of all, look at books for ideas, don't use them as a step by step guideline of the page you are looking to do. Use your imagination, have fun making the page as these are your memories, not anyone else's.
