The notion behind scrapbooking is pretty straight forward, the goal is simple, preserve memories and share them with others in your own way and style. It can be a fun way to spend your time while taking a sentimental walk down memory lane.
Scrapbooking can also reflect your own take on events which took place during those times. You do not need expensive materials to create your own scrapbook, there are lots of choices and a vast product range which cover multiple price points.
Secondly you don’t need lots of material. The most important first step you will take is in choosing the paper. Choosing the right paper can get your creative juices flowing but as mentioned there are lots of choices and therefore it can be a little overwhelming.
Many suggest that you use paper that is acid free. The simple reason for this relates to preservation. The last thing you want is to have the very memories which you sought out to preserve deteriorate over time due to choosing the wrong paper.
Choosing the right paper is also important so as to match the theme which you intend to convey. If in the event the memories are distant and evolve to the present day, then you may want to use older styles of paper to start with and then decorate with more modern trimmings.
You can also mix and match papers, this may prove difficult at the beginning because it can be hard to know if they will match and it is not until you try it that you will see. The point is to have fun and play around with it to see what works best.
In conclusion, before you invest in any paper consider what it is you wish to convey and then match the paper that best suits the mood and as mentioned, enjoy and have fun.
