When you’re making a scrapbook, sometimes it’s not always about the photos. There are some scrapbooking layouts and themes that are focused mainly on text and souvenirs as the focal point of the scrapbook. You’ll either be using your own handwriting to write the text or text from patterned papers and printed quotes and yet, your text may not stand out enough. If you’d like to make your text stand out and still show a bit of creativity, why not use photos to help show what you’re trying to say?

Photos don’t have to be the focal point of a scrapbook. Some scrapbooking layouts can actually consider some photos to be a form of creative background.

Photo Enlargement

Do you have a specific photo to outline the text or souvenir you’d like to highlight? For example, you have a poem about friendship; why not use your photos with your friends? Take this special photo and have it enlarged to the size of your scrapbook pages. Adhere onto your scrapbook and then place your text over. Think up creative positions to place your text so you won’t cover up the important details.

Photo Collage

If photo enlargement is too expensive, scrapbooking layouts suggest an alternative by the way of a photo collage. Stick photos in random and chaotic positions around your scrapbooking page before using cardstock as a background for your text. Use double sided adhesive to adhere the cardstock onto the photos. If the photos have some unimportant background, crop the photos to the parts you need the most.

Before you use photos as your background, make sure that your text has is big and has loud colors so it won’t sink into the background itself. Use dark markers to outline each letter. Photos can be a made into a good scrapbook background especially landscape photos of beautiful places.
