Just like all art plans, there are no fixed rules for making a scrapbook (that’s the great thing about making a scrapbook!). However, if you are a beginner, being mindful of a few popular rules of thumb is handy:-

Consider the theme of your scrapbook. The subject should prescribe the presentation and style of the scrapbook. For example, if you are making an album to celebrate a wedding ceremony or a child being born, then you may choose papers, embellishments and colours that produce one integrated style regarding that topic.

OK, now that a style has been chosen, think about the cloths, fabrics, and papers you want to apply. For example, you may want to use craft punches in the scrapbooking projects.

A neat tip to shaping the subject of the page is to give it a title. Use die cut letters or stickers to spell out your title, or simply print it directly from your computer.

If you’re writing a small note on the page, scribble it out on some scrap paper first to make sure the wording is correct.

There’s no stringent regulation regarding how many photographs to use on any one page, but they should have some kind of relation to your subject. Pick out a mixture of photos that you can apply as you layout the page.

The most important aspect is that you enjoy the process of making your scrapbook. Scrapbooking is a hobby that many people enjoy and you’ll find there’s a big internet community willing to share their tips and aid you in your scrapbooking efforts.
