Pieces Scrapbooking
How do I scrapbook without it looking like scrapbooking?
I want to archive my track and field mementos—articles, ribbons, medals, etc. I hate the look, feel, and kitschy look of scrapbooking, but I want these pieces archived in a nice way. Any suggestions?
You should choose a scrapbook you like that is not too "froo-froo" and then get a package of that background paper (or buy ones you like separately.) Put all your stuff in the album and just label with a pen or nice marker what all the stuff is or whatever it is you want to say about the page. It is really only a scrapbook if you put like scraps of things and label the items with things such as: "a tissue that Grandpa used at Grandma's funeral." or anything like that....
For my mom's birthday last year, I made a scrapbook for her, but it was just photographs arranged in a nice way with pretty background paper and A FEW stickers on eack page. it looks really nice. It is not overdone and there is no texture or anything like that. It is a colorful, nice way to remember things that happened or that you participated in such as your track.
dont over or underdo yourself. make it so that it expresses who you are because that is ehat scrapbooking is all about. If you just throw pictures in a book, then years later when you look back at it, you are going to wish that it had more personality to it.
I REALLY hope this helped because I am a really slow typer and that just took a very long time to do!! LOL
