Scrap The Idea!

By Bernadine Otis

Photographs make a whole part of your scrapbook. For some, this is the whole point of your scrapbook. So when you’re making your scrapbook, take care not to repeat too many same layouts for your photographs because this will bore viewers and won’t help beginners get some scrapbooking ideas. Here are a few tips to make your scrapbook look unique and yet simple:

Focal Point Photos

Choose a focal point photo to front your scrapbooking pages. This photo has to be clear and the center of what you’re trying to say for your scrapbook. Best location for focal point photos is usually the top left of the scrapbooking page as this is how the viewer will be reading.

Accessory Photos

Accessory photos help to highlight the focal point photo, thus, these are the photos that just happened randomly, or at the event. Using the accessory photos as one of your scrapbooking ideas will show your scrapbook is in order and has a pattern for itself.

Mat

Don’t mat all the photos. Although matting is one of the important scrapbooking ideas that can be useful, not all photos need to be matted. Only mat those you really want to stand out like the focal point photo.

Sticking

Don’t just stick to glue and paste. Use creative means of sticking the photo onto your scrapbook. Use colored tacks, adhesive dots, stickers, ribbons or even yarn to hold down your photos for you. Sticking to glue and paste will drive you out of an even more creative outcome for your photos and scrapbook.
