My, NannyOne had better get cracking on building more tips for my fellow readers. Now that you have set up your work space and have have all your materials in order, you can then continue on your journey to accomplish your first Scrapbook Album. Once you have an idea of what you would like to add to your pages, then it is simply just cutting, sticking, stamping, writing your text (journal), and having FUN !!! Some great NannyOne Building page tips are;
Do not over crowd your page,
Make sure your photo is the main attraction on the page,
Use the two sides of the one piece of cardstock, for 2 pages
Design your pages with a different layout, each time
Time is slipping by, so I would like to give you a little video that may be of interest, for building ideas for your scrapbook.
Welcome back to the next segment in Nanny One's, scrapbook adventures. Following on from my last post, you now have the photo's in order. Now it is time to pick a theme for your project. When you have picked the photo's you want scrapped, you are now ready to get underway. Before you start, make sure you have good space to work in, this will make it so much easier to think and design your pages. Materials you will need are a cutting mat, cutter/ cutting knife, glue,ruler, scissors, photo mounting squares, adhesives, paper, cardstock, album, paints/ stamps. At this stage all you have to do is work out your layout for your photo's on the cardstock and paper, then attach the photo's onto the background you have chosen. When I first started I went out and purchased a lot of materials and equipment that I did not need, a first. So when you are starting out, just buy the minimal things you require, to make the pages of your album. NannyOne will have some more great tips next post.
Most people today, have a hobby or would like one. A Scrapbook hobby is to have fun with your photo's. This can be done either in Albums, Frames, on Canvas, Collage or just in a scrapbook. Today there are a variety of clubs, getaway's, workshop's and online nets, to have fun with your photo's. You can obtain material for your creation's, from anywhere in the world today, these include most countries, online internet sites, that have places where you can shop for your material's. To start, firstly one of the essential's for Scrapbooking is your Photo's. You may think this is silly, but I have been to a few workshop's, where the person has arrived at the event to work, only to realize they left the main ingredient at home!!
