Some tips on making a scrapbook.

Photo albums display your photos and protect them quite well in most cases, but a scrapbook can tell a story that is more than unforgetable.

Your scrapbook can not only display your precious photos,love note, theatre tickets and special events but your choice of colours, and patterns as your background paper can also add another dimension by setting the mood of the event.

.Some tips on organizing your photos.


Most of us have boxes of photos, old albums that need re-vamping and when we think of sorting them out into chronological order for our scrapbooks the task seems neverending. If this is the case, try sorting them out into themes such as: School days, Holiday trips, Family vacations, Camping trips, School renuions, Christmas partys, Birthdays.

When making up the scrapbooks, choose your background paper to suit each theme. For instance, your school days scrapbook can be made up using those old school colours as the background paper. Christmas scrapbooks can have red and green colours, and holiday scrapbooks can have colours of the beach for those holidays by the seaside with shells and pails as a theme, while scrapbooks of holidays in France can have background with faint pictures of the landmarks of France.

When you have the pages made up for each theme, you can make a "Cover Page" for each them to separate each from the other. Keep you cover pages simple with just a single photo and the date or year and of course the location or event.
