Beginner's Baby Scrapbooking

[Earl Kelly]

Scrapbooking can be a fun and creative hobby that helps you
immortalize your memories and relax in the process. But, if you're new
on the job, starting a project can be difficult. So, what should you
know before you start your beginner's baby scrapbooking project?
Follow these tips and you'll be on your way!
#1 - Stick with a Theme
Before you begin any sort of scrapbooking project, it is important
that you know where you're headed. Essentially, this means that you
have a plan so that you don't keep yourself from being productive. To
start your baby scrapbook, you need to pick a theme that will give
flow to your pages. Whether you pick an alphabet or animal theme, your
beginner's baby scrapbooking project will be begun.
#2 - Be Prepared
A piece of advice that should always follow, regardless of the
project, is to get yourself organized. Scrapbooking requires a large
number of materials, space, and time. So, when you're starting off,
make sure that you have everything you need. Remember to have
adhesive, paper, archival pens, templates, stickers and other
embellishments, and cutting tools nearby. You'll save time in the long
run by doing this. And, you'll have an easier time visualizing your
beginner's baby scrapbooking project with all of your materials on
hand.
#3 - Layer Away
To give your pages a great deal of interest, layer your stickers and
photos on more than one sheet and color of paper. Each time you layer,
change the paper size and give your pages a stacking effect. It makes
your items look more dimensional and exciting.
#4 - Blend Colors
When you're selecting your materials, try to pick colors that
compliment each other. You can do this by mixing different intensities
of the same color (light pink with dark pink) or with different
patterns of the same color. Plus, you can mix pastels of several
colors or all primary colors on your pages. Keeping things uncolored
won't be interesting; changing up your palette will.
#5 - Layout Twice, Glue Once
Ultimately, the page layout on your beginner's baby scrapbook project
will determine the overall effect. This means that if your pages look
boring and simple, they won't be interesting to look at. So, get all
of your elements ready by layering your photos and selecting your
embellishments. Then, place them on your scrapbook page. See how
everything fits and even try moving it around a few times. When you're
finally satisfied, glue it down. This will keep you from trying to
pull up glued items and possibly damaging photos.
Being a beginner at baby scrapbooking isn't such a bad thing. You need
to keep yourself organized and your beginner's baby scrapbooking
project will be a big hit!
