subject: Tips For Scrapbooking Pages [print this page] The success of scrapbooking pages very much depends on photo layout, journaling and various decorations. These customized albums are a great way to store and preserve photos, telling a story and creating great memories. This is the very purpose of any album that one creates, and scrapbooks become something dear to one's heart. And even if beginning scrapbookers often lack the inspiration for their first page and they are simply at a loss about where to start, things will get much cleared the moment they view some examples of scrapbooking pages.
Decide on the theme of a certain album, and then move on to work on the full album concept. The title page and the journaling part make the introduction to the topic that you've selected. The viewer thus gets an idea about what he or she is about to see. Include a very relevant photo on title scrapbooking pages because you can thus emphasize the entire album content. Choose these pics really carefully because they are like the synthesis of the message that you want to send.
Some scrapbooking pages are adjustable meaning that you can add them even when the album is complete, while other scrapbooks are bound into a final form and do not allow for later modifications. If a certain story is incomplete, then, you may want to add scrapbooking pages to end the story. All of the scrapbooking pages have to follow a common decorative style, either using the same embellishments or something pretty similar, so that there are no style discrepancies.
The paper or the digital background that you use of the scrapbooking pages have to mirror the theme and make the album look complete. Pay attention to all details because you don't want photos over-powered by decorations. Moreover, projects gain a deeper dimension on such occasions.
A big mistake you could make with your scrapbooking pages is to add lots of embellishments that instead of stressing out the pictures, will actually over-power the photos. Scrapbooking pages therefore require a certain balance in theme expression and background. Moreover, there should be a dominant style unifying all.
