Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking? What's Scrapbooking, Precious? Surely new territory for some. Actually, you already know a little bit about scrapbooking: Anyone who has ever made or creatively designed memory books, diaries, poetry albums, photo books for grandma and grandpa or friendship books already knows what scrapbooking is all about. The DIY trend has been very popular in America for many years and has grown into a whole scrapbooking community with several million hobbyists. Basically, scrapbooking is about capturing special events and putting the memories of them on paper in a very personal and creative way. Lovingly and individually handcrafted albums are created with words, photos and memorabilia such as tickets or small finds from vacations.
Scrapbooking: what you need and how to do it
If you want to jump in and start the scrapbooking trend, you first need a topic. So you should think about what you want to make the subject of your scrapbook. The last family celebration, the birth of a child, a magical holiday? Your imagination knows no bounds! Once you have decided, you can start thinking about the design and therefore the material you will need. Photo, paper, scissors and glue are of course very important, but the motto applies: You can do everything, but you don't have to. Depending on the theme or the pictures, you can, for example, work with special paper, use letters in the form of stickers or stamps, put your favorite motifs on paper with stamps, set accents with motif adhesive tape such as washi tape, or use fabric appliqués or stick on cardboard... or you can just grab a pen and add your own artistic touch.
You are also completely free when it comes to the style of your scrapbooking projects. Should it be more dreamy and playful? Vintage or cutting edge? Colorful or in soft tones or even black and white? The choice is yours, because with scrapbooking you transform your ideas into absolutely unique pieces.
Scrapbooking recreates your memories
With scrapbooking, you can create beautiful and self-designed photo albums based on your taste. A mood is created that will recreate the memories again and again whenever you are looking at the album. In addition, of course, there is also a certain amount of pride and joy. Who doesn't know that wonderful feeling of having created something with their own hands? A purchased album can hardly offer such deep feeling. So if you too would like to give your memories a very personal frame, take a look around our scrapbooking page and get some inspiration...
