Tips and Advice
Source of Tips and Advice is CropaholicsDo's
- Design page layouts to highlight your pictures.
- Color coordinate your decorative papers.
- Create page interest by cropping an occasional picture in a shape, circle or oval.
- Use acid-free, lignin-free paper.
- Use only archival safe pens to write on your pages.
- Be careful with what you use to adhere your pictures with. Even though it is acid-free, it may not hold your pictures to the page indefinitely.
- Use a stabilo pencil to write on the back of your pictures when necessary. Acid free pens will not hurt your pictures, but they will smear and will transfer onto other surfaces.
- Journal often. It is as much fun to read about the event, as it is to see it in pictures.
Don'ts
- Don't create such "darling" pages that you only see the page and not the pictures. Why is it you are doing the page in the first place?
- Don't crop too much out of your pictures.
- You are putting so much time and love into your album, don't scrimp on quality when buying your scrapbooking products.
- Don't stack your albums. Stand them up side by side.
- Don't cut polaroid pictures.
- Don't scrapbook when you are tired. You'll find that you make more mistakes.
- Don't think that you aren't creative. Everyone has their own style and every scrapbook ever made is a cherished possession.
