Scrapbook FAQs

What is a scrapbook?

A scrapbook is similar to a photo album, in that it is a bound cardstock book filled with images and photographs - but you can also add heaps of artistic and crafty decorations to make it stand out. Scrapbooks often feature not only photos but physical mementos of events and places, plus craft embellishments like frames, trims, ribbons, jewels and stickers.

How to scrapbook

When starting a scrapbook, plan how you will fill each page before you start. Each page should have an image (either a photo or something like a postcard), some text describing the day/event and then some embellishments. Don't cram your pages full of decorations, and make sure you are sticking everything down with the right glues or tapes!

How to design a scrapbook page layout

Begin designing your page by deciding where the largest element will go first! This is usually an image - place it slightly off-centre so you have plenty of room to add other crafts on the page. Then designate a space for any text you need to add. Make sure to leave space around larger elements to add trims and borders. Finish by filling any large gaps with smaller craft embellishments.
