Scrapbook Ideas - Choosing The Right Paper

[freda tilly]

Paper is the most important aspect of scrapbooking and quite often the
basis for your inspiration when creating a scrapbook page layout and
also when you are considering new scrapbook ideas.
Although finding a suitable piece of paper to fit the theme of your
photo can sometimes be challenging, generally it is the first thing
you will need to do before starting your page layout.
It is essential that you only use acid free paper when creating your
scrapbook page layout. Many people have regretted using pictures and
paper from magazines that are not acid free because they find as the
years go by the pages will deteriorate and lose the fresh look they
once had.
It is recommended that you embellish a scrapbook page with accessories
that match the theme and genre. It will look odd if you use an older
style piece of scrapbook paper as the background and then decorate it
with modern embellishments. That said there is no harm in
experimenting with your scrapbook ideas as sometimes mixing the two
styles together can bring about a really unique look. It's a question
of playing around until you find something that you like and is
pleasing to the eye....
