Just like all creative plans, there are no hard and fast rules for scrapbooking (that’s the beauty of scrapbooking!). All the same, if you are a beginner, being aware of some common rules of thumb is helpful:-

Consider the subject of your scrapbook. The subject should dictate the style and presentation of the scrapbook. For example, if you are creating an album to remember a wedding or the birth of a child, then you should choose colours, papers and embellishments that present one integrated style around that topic.

Now a theme has been picked out, consider the materials you want to use. For instance, you may want to use die cuts in the scrapbooking projects.

A useful trick to shaping the focus of your page is to entitle it. Employ stickers or die cut letters to write your title, or even use a computer and print out the title.

If you’re writing a small journal on the page, write it out on some scrap paper beforehand to make sure the wording is correct.

There’s no strict convention regarding the number of photographs to stick on any one page, but they ought to have some type of relation to your subject. Choose a smorgasbord of photos that you can use as you design the page.

The main thing is that you enjoy the process of developing your scrapbook. Scrapbooking is a hobby that many people love doing and you will find there’s a huge online community ready to share their tips and help you in your scrapbooking efforts.
