Beginner Scrapbooking Fun - Fun beginners Crafts

You can make the theme of your scrapbook as simple or complex. For a theme could consider a special event such as a birthday, a baby shower, a wedding, Christmas, or Halloween.

For a personalized them you will make your scrapbook about special interests. Special interests themes include favorite colors, sports, favorite television programs, music, the outdoors, or cultural influences.

So, choose your theme and start by printing your photos on good quality photo paper such as the canon photo paper plus glossy you always have to make very sure that you use top quality photos in your scrapbook other wise you will be doing all the work for nothing!

When you are considering your theme, think about the following:

• What is the overall purpose for your scrapbook?
• Who is the scrapbook for?
• Who is the scrapbook about?

The answers to these three questions are all factors in selecting an appropriate theme. For instance, the scrapbook you are giving your nephew as he graduates from medical school is probably completely different than the grandparent book you send your mother.

Your nephew will probably appreciate a scrapbook with photographs, poems, journals, and more masculine embellishments. Perhaps, the theme of the scrapbook could be medicine. You could create embellishments that looked like scalpels and tweezers around various pictures of your nephew during his college years.

Your mother, on the other hand, will love a multitude of baby pictures fancifully embellished with flowers, ribbon, and baby fingerprints. The theme of this book will probably be your baby. Photographs could include baby and grandma with the baby. A nice journal about your baby's day could also add a nice touch
