Beginner Scrapbooking - Scrap Booking Heritage
Filed Under scrap book | Comments Off
wina sawanah asked:
More than 200 years ago, many different people migrated to the New World. These individuals were pioneers who have made what America is today which is a country with much diversity.
People hardly remember their ancestors. Their memory is only limited to their great grand parents. This doesn’t have to be the case anymore since there is a way to trace one’s family history. All you have to do is conduct a little research, get all the clippings and photos then make a scrap book about the family heritage.
The first thing that needs to be done is go to the attic. There are surely tons of boxes filled with memorabilia, photos and letters. Each of these highlight a moment in the person’s life and by arranging these in chronological order, a story can be formed.
Do people have to be in the photos? Not really. Some of the most important moments in a person’s life could be the picture of the first car ever owned, the home that was built by hand or the first paycheck the individual got after graduation.
Not everybody will get to appreciate this but those in the family should understand that this was the beginning of something big which later on will contribute to the history of the family.
Another important item for the scrapbook could be a marriage or a birth certificate, newspaper or magazine clippings, pieces of cloth or a strand of hair. These symbolize the character and the accomplishments of the person which is also worth sharing with the next generation.
The scrapbook shouldn’t have these simply compiled in an album. You can be creative by adding colorful layouts using different kinds of paper. Stickers and encryptions on the side can add an explanation to that special event.
People who have a hard time finding good backgrounds can go high tech by searching through the web. You just scan this photo with the image then paste this together before printing it.
The scrapbook portraying generations of the family heritage will take a long time to finish. You can get the help of relatives and siblings to piece everything together before showing the final result to everyone.
The album should be made of a durable material so that this can be shared with the next generation.
Everyone has a story to tell so no one in the family will ever forget them when put in a family scrapbook.

Muna wa Wanjiru asked:
We hear the term Scrap booking a lot these days. From kids to senior citizens, many people, it seems, are almost addicted to scrap booking as a fun activity. But is it really a new thing?
Actually it is not a new hobby. But now it is so popular that even golf has become less popular than scrap booking. In fact, 25% of households are engaged in scrap booking. Previously it was done with crafts and gluing the photos with the comments.
An album of photos or any other small clippings can make a scrap book. The subject of the scrap book may vary from babies to pets, or anything you want. Recently the craft has gained in popularity because of technically improved photography. Addiction to scrap booking is so intense that the first Saturday in May is announced as National Scrap booking Day by National Scrap booking Association.
If you are addicted to scrap booking, you will come to know that it is good thing. When you prepare a scrap book you are involved in an activity which gives you happiness. You will always select your favorite subject. Your scrap book is a kaleidoscope of memories. Whenever you will look it in future, we will remember all the things related to the particular photo or the event or the thing.
When you see somebody’s scrap book, you have the idea of preparing the scrap book; you may not be clear about the subject. May be you are full of ideas and you could not choose one out of them. That time you should write down your ideas and then you can decide your subject for scrap book. Once you decide the subject there are number of ways to help you to prepare the nice scrap book. Today online help is much more useful for preparing your scrap book.
Scrap books may include many things like invitations, drawings, cards, pictures apart from photos. You can give your personal touch to your scrap book by decorating it with ribbons, stamps, and your own comments will make it more interesting.
You will get the answer of the question ‘why people are addicted to scrap booking?’, once you start doing it. This addiction is healthy and spreads just like cool breeze of wind. It gives you relief from your day to day tension and stress. After a hectic schedule when you give only 15 minutes for your scrap book, it will reduce your fatigue and gives your smile. You will get a scope to show your creative abilities. Your imagination is the key to make it beautiful. Scrap book addiction will bring out your unknown capabilities.
There is no deadline or time limit to finish your work in time. You can continue it as per your wish. You need not have to do in one sitting. When you have spare time, you will spend it in scrap booking instead of other useless activities. If your friends are impressed then they will also join you in your scrap booking. That will give the joy of sharing with the friends.
If you are doing scrap booking, your children will help you and they will be impressed by it. If children are encouraged to prepare scrap book, that will be great for their development. They will remember the memories of the special occasion or the events.
Scrap booking is an addiction which will improve your life quality. It is an exception to the meaning of addiction which generally refers to an unhealthy obsession.

Scrapbooking: Layout Scrap Booking
Filed Under scrap book | Comments Off
Nicholas Tan asked:
Scrap booking is not an old art. People have been doing this for years which is much more fun than putting everything inside a photo album.
The difference between a scrap book and an album is that the hobbyist can make changes to the background. These designs can vary per page and there is no limit to what can be done to make it look impressive.
Scrap booking is similar to any other activity the person chooses to engage in. This is because everything has to be ready so there won’t be any interruptions later on.
The first thing needed for the layout will be the materials. These include the pictures, scissors, glue, magazines, newspaper, writing material and of course the paper that makes up each page in the scrap book.
The best scrap books are made of paper that are acid and lignin free. Those who have this will not have a problem sticking pictures and cutouts as well as writing on the side when using chalk, crayon, pastel or a pen.
Scrap booking paper can easily be found in the bookstore. These are not only available in plain but also in floral or striped designs. This will surely help out the person who has no idea how to put the desired look for each page.
Manufacturers have also made the paper in different shapes and sizes. This gives the hobbyist the chance of making each one both memorable and unique compared to the previous project that was just finished.
There is no right or wrong way to come up with a layout. This goes to the imagination of the person. Things to keep in mind are the color scheme, the message the creator wants to convey and how each one will be seen in every page.
Those who having a hard time thinking about the type of layout for the scrap book don’t have to worry because there are websites that can help make it happen. There are templates that can be downloaded for free or a small fee which can be saved in the computer’s hard drive and used whenever these are necessary.
The first thing that people pay attention to when looking at each page of the scrap book is the center. So, the hobbyist should put a picture and then put the other stuff on the sides working outward or using the top to bottom approach.
A story can even happen as the layout is happening especially when there are three photos or more on a single page.
The only way for several pictures to fit in one page is to make the others look smaller. This involves using a pair of scissors or a cutter. Since nothing can be done when this has been done, it will be a good idea to practice this first with the accessories to make each one look perfect.
If the layout does not fit in one page, perhaps this can be done spread over two pages. The concept itself is still the same but in a much larger scale.
Layout scrap booking is a lot of fun. There are no limits to what can be done so the person should try one today or with others to get a feel of this hobby and then show this off to friends.
