Scrapbooking, instructions for use
In 2017, the Bullet Journal is the new trend of scrapbooking.
Until now scrapbooking consisted of telling a story, the birth of a baby, your wedding, a mega birthday party, a dream vacation ... Many beautiful moments that deserve to be staged in photo albums.
The principle: we choose a photo to illustrate on a specific theme, based on a page of 30 x 30 cm. Example: for a girl who dreams of dancing and tutus, we choose printed paper stars, tulle pompoms, mini dance shoe plastic, metal, felt, adhesive or ready to sew (called "Charms" ). We add paper printed scores or various musical instruments, Masking tape tapes on which we will write comments...
Sort photos
Before starting a photo album book, you must carefully select the photos you intend to put forward. Choose the most beautiful, cleanest and brightest.
Tip: before you start scrapbooking, opt for a general theme: travel, birth, scrapbook ... It's important to avoid getting discouraged by seeing too many clichés. The important thing is to have fun above all and give free rein to his imagination. Know that a scrapbooking album page has up to 6 photos (or more if you want to make a mosaic).
Choose the media for your scrapbooking album
Here you have the choice: buy a scrapbooking album ready with the sheets already fixed or create your own album. In the latter case, there are plain album pages or printed versions. To make the right choice, spread out all the selected photos in front of you to find the dominant color. The theme will also be decisive. If, for example, it is to make the photo album of your holidays at the sea, all the palette of the blues can be exploited. Try to maintain some harmony in the colors.
Small tip: to preserve your photos prefer papers made without acid and possibly without lignin.
Prepare the formatting of scrapbooking album
Crop and cut your photos for your scrapbooking, to highlight the elements that interest you. Feel free to vary the shapes of your photos with different stencils. Use all the tools you have: scissors, perforator ... Add sand, paint, stickers ... for the decor. Before you paste your photos on the pages, try several arrangements to highlight your photos and the desired effect.
Feel free to vary the layouts. Some may be very worked, others very clean. For example, dare to tone your tone. The goal is that every page of your album is unique.
Paste and comment on the photos
Choose a simple stick glue or double-sided adhesive to fix the photos in your album. Then comment on your photos. In the jargon of scrapbooking, we call it "journaling". It's about commenting on your photos, adding a title, placing text on a page.
A tip: try to make short legends. The goal is just to give the useful information. For more effect, cut out letters in the newspapers and/or magazines.
