Scrapbook photo ideas

"Scrap" comes from the English and means "part" or "piece". In a scrapbook, several individual items such as photos, tickets and other memorabilia are collected and glued together. There are no limits to your creativity. You can also label, paint and decorate the individual pages with fancy pens. Let's go! Grab your utensils and create your own individual scrapbook!

What theme do you want for your scrapbook? Is it about a trip, a celebration, or is it centered around one or more people? Do you want to depict a specific period, like a year or a decade? In a scrapbook, for example, you can beautifully capture the first year of a baby's life or the growth of your child until their 18th birthday. Let your ideas flow freely!

Estimate how many photos you will roughly stick in and how many you would like to present on each page. This way you can estimate the required number of pages. Are there a few pages left after your calculation? Then loosen up here and there by showing only one or two photos on a page. Or occasionally use a page completely for notes, tickets, or other mementos.

What would you like to stick in your scrapbook in addition to your photos? Tickets, invitation cards, excerpts from city maps, napkins, business cards, information sheets, newspaper articles, and much more are suitable for this purpose.

With beautiful (glitter) pens, acid-free photo glue or adhesive labels, washi tape, stickers, scissors, colorful decorative paper, gift wrap, fabric scraps, and whatever else you like, you can beautifully decorate your scrapbook.

When your material is ready, divide your photo album into subtopics or time periods as needed. You can then assign and paste your photos and mementos according to these divisions.
A helpful tip: First glue in larger papers, then the photos, and then smaller elements like tickets - from large to small. Please remember to leave some space for notes and comments.

To conclude, you can add labels and decorations as you like, for example, with pretty washi tape. By the way, the MYPOSTER retro pictures can already be labeled in the configurator. However, you can also label the white border during scrapbooking with a pen. Depending on the material (photo paper or Hahnemühle), a waterproof pen is recommended, or even a nice decorative pen. On Hahnemühle paper, you can write with any pen, basically.

And now have fun scrapbooking!
