How to Unleash Your Scrapbooking Creativity

Interested in scrapbooking? Here are some scrapbook ideas to start. Most experts will recommend you begin by purchasing the best quality albums and supplies you can afford . . . don’t use “magnetic” albums (the kind with the sticky pages) but don’t feel compelled to dress up every single page you do. In many cases, less is much, much more. You can consider the following to get started: • Find and sort your photos in chronological order. Depending on the number you have, place the photos in boxes by year until you’re ready to tackle them. • Be selective when choosing the photos you’ll keep. You don’t need six shots of Tom blowing out the birthday candles. • Ready to scrap? It’s less overwhelming to start with your most recent photos first. There’s some logic in doing this, because at least you won’t put yourself any further behind. • Plan to make a family album, and then at least one album per child.
