It allows you to relive the feelings and occasions as if they happened yesterday. What is Scrapbooking? Scrapbooking is basically a journal in which you keep your records thru out your life. You can capture events that mean the most to you and your family. For instance you can capture birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and family vacations. You can scrap anything that you find special and want to share for years to come. Scrapbooking Page Layout Now that you are entertaining the idea of a scrapbook, it is important you make those memories as alive and beautiful as possible. Here are some layout ideas: 1 Depending on the occasion, make the page have color coordination. Use themed paper and/or matching colors to accent the photos. 2 Pictures, take and record as many as possible, whatever the occasion, and later on you will be glad you did. 3 When you get photos back from developing, write a few memories on the back so that you can remember all the little details you want to preserve. Sometimes we forget the smallest things that made the occasion special, writing them down will make it a lot easier when you start the journaling. 4 Keep mementos from the occasion to add to the pages. Birthday cards, airline tickets etc. Use these as backdrops for photos or as the title to the page. 5 Use accents such as brads, photo clips to add to the layout.
