Scrapbooking – Getting Started With Basic Scrapbooking Supplies
Recently I received a wonderful gift from my daughter. A living scrapbook showing my grandchildren from their birth until now. This gift meant so much to me that I ended up becoming a scrapper and love the whole idea of scrapbooking your precious memories. As time has gone by I have increased my collection of books on scrapbooking and slowly collected all the tools I think are needed for scrapbooking. The great thing about scrapbooking is that anyone can do it, the ideas are endless and your subject for the book or page can be on anything.
You should already have the most important items – your photos. These are the highlight of every scrapbook page and should be displayed as such. How you want to dress up these pages will dictate how much money you will need to spend on supplies. If you are very crafty you could try your hand at making your own bits and pieces to dress the pages up with. These embellishments will help make your photos pop off the page.
After selecting the right sized scrapbook (you may want to stick with a standard size so you can design some of your pages on your computer and print them out), you will need to decide on the types of themes you want to use to highlight your photos so you can coordinate colors and shapes. A lot of packs available for purchase already contain matching elements; colors, borders, stickers, all in the same design or theme. If you choose one of these packs you won’t need too many other tools apart from the glue or double-sided tape to stick everything in place.
If you decide to buy your items separately you will need additional things like scissors, rulers, cutting mats and blades, hole punches, maker pens, etc… as well as selecting different papers and embellishments to make your themes. Remember to also include any mementos or souvenirs that you may have collected over the years when visiting special places or going to special events. These can be added to your layouts and greatly enhance your pages.
Both these strategies have worked for me over in developing an income from scrapbooking. I have been able to enjoy my hobby and get a little money to buy more stock and equipment along the way. Again this has suited me and I use this as a supplementary income, you may wish to got to a different level and that will require much more work on your behalf. I have also met some nice people along the way when making an item for them through a consignment job or when they buy basic item.
These programs (books) are around .00 to purchase and have various bonus items when you purchase. Overall I have found this a very small price for the knowledge they do bring. Again there are many other Websites detailing similar ways to earn money from scrapbooking. Have a look at the sites that are recommended and have a look yourself on the web at others, there really is something out there that would suit your needs. Keep and open mind ang give it a go, why not turn your hobby into a real income that the entire family can help and earn with
