Scrapbooking Tips for the New Year

In 2010, I plan on scrapbooking much more than I use to.

I LOVE scrapbooking!

It is such a fun way to remember!

I've also decided to share some scrapbooking tips

with you, my friends/readers.

Not that I am an expert on scrapbooking by any means...

these are tips that encourage me to preserve memories

in a way that enrich not only the lives of my own family members

but of those I know and love as well.

How can I resist sharing with YOU?!

TIP TIP TIP

Top loading albums are my favorite ablums to use

when I preserve photos into a scrapbook.

These albums give you the chance to "go back"

and add, take away, or rearrange pages if you need to.

I have created scrapbook pages within hinged albums

only to end up finding a few photos that were misplaced

or were chronologically out of order.

Top loading albums make my scrapbooking

chronologically easy to stay "on track" with scrapbooking.

Hinged albums are very nice.

I personally prefer top loading albums

due to the reasons stated above.

  

TIP TIP TIP

I can save money and card stock by utilizing

BOTH SIDES of my scrapbook page.

Notice the base of these three pages is

a bright orange card stock.

My first page (titled "fun and games") is actually

the reverse side of my second page (untitled.)

NOTE...

This technique can only be performed

when my pictures are in chronological order

and I know for sure I have no other pictures to add within the

time frame of the pictures I am working with at the time.
