Scrapbook Page Ideas #2

Here's scrapbook page ideas #2
Ok, here I go! I have shopped already for all of my scrap book supplies. The pictures are set out that are going to be used in my scrapbook. Everything is ready to go on top of the table - papers, pens, scissors, adhesive, album, embellishments, etc. But, I'm just sitting here staring blankly at the first scrapbook page. I know what theme I want to do, but I'm having trouble getting it started.

So, here's how my scrapbook page ideas are going to happen.

First, I am arranging the photos and embellishments on top of the scrapbook page, but no adhesive will be used on anything as yet so that I can change the arrangement if I need to. Everything will be glued once I have decided I like the way the page looks.

Now, take the first scrapbook page, the pictures have already been selected that are going to be used on that page. I think I will use the grouping of 4 pictures. Maybe on the next page I might use the grouping of 5 for variation.

A color of paper is being selected that will compliment the pictures I have chosen for my scrapbook page. It is being used as a background that would make the pictures stand out. On second thought, I think I'll look on the internet to get some ideas for a background. There are printable backgrounds that can be downloaded if I find
one I like. After looking on the internet, I did find one that was more interesting than what I had - so I got it. This background was more conductive to the theme on this page.

One of the four pictures is going to be used as a focal point and the other 3 will be placed around it. A border could be used to highlight the pictures. Double or triple matting would make a nice border. I'll try both before I make a decision on this. Also, other scrappers have shaped their own photos into squares, circles,
rectangles, or ovals. I haven't decided yet if I'll do that. There still is time to make a decision on that before everything is glued on the page.

Decorations are being placed on the scrapbook page. I don't want to over flood the page though. I'm rearranging the decoration and taking some off of the page. I decided to go on the internet looking for scrapbook page ideas to help me with this layout. Yes, I found some layouts that I liked which will help me improve upon my own layout. Thank you internet for this easy access!

I'm, now, looking at the page as a whole, before I permanently glue, to see if any details need to be added or taken out. I'm, also, checking that the symmetry of the page looks balanced.

I'm going to write information about the pictures telling of the experiences we had and adding any thoughts I have about it. I'm writing this on sheet of paper so I can get it down right and once I have my scrapbook page ideas set and the page looks good, I'll glue things on the page and then I'll write what I have on this sheet unto
the scrapbook page.

Oh, I decided that I'm not going to shape the pictures, I'm just going to leave them as they are.

Well, the first page is finished, finally. Do I like the look. Yes, but I must say that I pulled a lot of my scrapbook page ideas from looking on the internet at samples.

Scrapbook Page Ideas - My First...

Scrapbook page ideas is what I'm looking for, but first....
After looking at samples of scrapbooks online, I can tell the the days of just putting pictures on a black page are gone. Scrapbooking is a lot more creative these days. A variety of colored backgrounds, paper upon paper, textured look, embellishments, as they are called, are used on scrapbooking pages.

There's a main reason for scrapbooking and that is for keeping memories that takes you back in time. It is lots of fun creating precious moment pages that preserve your past. The photo, journal entry, caption, and note captures that moment.

Developing scrapbook page ideas can be frustrating because it is difficult to create an idea. It might become easier once I find my style. So what are my personal taste in designing my scrapbook page? Knowing this will help make my scrapbook layout work for me.<

So I ask myself, "How am I going to do it?" And the answer...by looking at others' scrapbook layouts. I can get scrapbook page ideas from observing online examples or scrapbooking magazines. From that I can get a general idea of my style. When I find examples that I like I can do something similar on my scrapbook pages or pull concepts to mode into my own original idea.

Another way to find my style is to make a mood board. By putting my selection of fabric swatches, a variety of colored backgrounds, and embellishments on a mood board, I will get an impression on how my concept will look. When I find a look that I like, then I'll get the idea of the layout that I will design for my page.

I'll select accent colors taken from my photo to make the page appealing to the eye. It will make the picture stand out. By using the mood board I can experiment on different hue combinations to find which accents I like on the scrapbook page.

Upon searching websites, I found this website that I thought might interest you in getting more scrapbook page ideas.
