Building Pages


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.

Beginings



Well I better get to work on this venture, as my last post was very short.
I started to scrapbook only around 2 1/2 yrs ago. I have always taken lots of photo's on my travels, only to put half in albums and the rest in boxes, and forgotten about. With having quite a few moves in my life, around 30plus, you can see I have plenty of photo's to scrap!
When I was invited to join a scrapbook workshop, get-together, I thought it would be a good idea to go along and find out what it was all about. Well guess, I got hooked!! I found a great way to get my photo's into albums, tell a story and live memories at the same time.
First you need photo's, and with these it is always good to sort them into categories, such as family, holidays, school days, these are just a few ideas. You can put the photo's in photo boxes or similar item, have dividers and label them so when you decide what you are going to scrap, you can quickly find the photo's you need.
