Scrapbooking Embellishments

By Alexis Kenne

Scrapbooking may very well be one of the most creative hobbies that there is. Some people do it as a hobby while others only do it when they have extra pictures to put together. A scrapbook says so much more than a regular album. With a scrapbook, you can add designs, memorabilia, and quotes that will help your pictures to come to life. There is not a better way to capture those cherished memories that you hold so dear to your heart. Scrapbooks themes can consist of a wedding, an anniversary, a newborn baby, a baby shower, a birthday, or a holiday party. If it is a time to be remembered, then a scrapbook can hold it.

If you are purchasing a scrapbook, have a good idea of the theme you plan on using for it. You'll want to go with a scrapbook that matches the theme. If you are going for a wedding scrapbook, then go with a scrapbook that will go along with this theme you have chosen. There are many online stores where you can purchase a scrapbook of your own, and many stores have them along side photo albums as well. Scrapbooking supply stores are available all over the nation as well. The businesses are small and found in strip malls and some regular malls too.

If you are going to scrapbook, scissors are definitely going to be important. You'll do a lot of cutting, so you must have some scissors on hand. They can be used to cut pictures, to cut designs out, and for so many other tasks. Good scissors come in handy as a top tool for your scrapbooking. It is also important that you have some good glue on hand. Unless you plan on taping everything, glue is probably the best choice.

Of course pictures are a necessary thing to have for scrapbooking too. If you don't have enough to fill the scrapbook, it's perfectly fine. Many scrapbooks are large and it can take time to fill them. Work on being creative and not on the amount of pictures that you use. Every scrapbook is unique and different, which is what makes them so special.

Letters and stickers are excellent additions to scrapbooks as well. If you are doing a scrapbook about your wedding, then consider going with some stickers that are wedding themed for the scrapbook. Various sizes and styles of lettering can be found for scrapbooks as well. It is much easier to get this lettering than to draw or cut out your own letters for the book.

There may be some other items you want to include in your scrapbook as well. Many people put other types of memorabilia in their scrapbooks as well, such as tickets, programs, napkins, and more. This is your call. Adding ribbon, features, paint, glitter, and even buttons can add to the scrapbook as well. The more creative you get the more unique your scrapbook will be.

Of course it can take quite a bit of time to scrapbook. Since scrapbooking does take quite a bit of time, it does make a wonderful hobby that can last for some time. While it will take awhile to make your pages, when they are all complete, you'll have a wonderful masterpiece that will preserve those memories forever.
