Don’t you want to know how to choose the right scrapbook themes?

For many years Scrapbooks have been considered works of Art . Scrapbooks are filled with collections of photos   that focuses around a certain event or theme. Scrapbooking has been around for ages but has in recent years become a popular hobby for a very large group. Over the years, scrapbooks have evolved and have a very different look. However, they still serve the same purpose as they did many years ago . There are so many different embellishments; papers and styles to choose from that one could have a very hard time selecting just the right materials.

Choosing a Scrapbook Theme selection does not have to be difficult. You can choose to create a complex or simple design. The themes can be focused on many different events such as birthdays, weddings, holidays and many other events. If you really wanted, you could create a scrapbook that focuses on you and your friends creating scrapbooks. Does this sound silly to you? Well I must say that I know people who have created scrapbooks themed around scrapbooking and when it is your hobby, it is no different than creating a scrapbook theme about fishing or hunting . You want to focus your scrapbook theme around things that make you most happy .

When you are looking to select a Scrapbook Theme, you want to consider these three (3) things…

1. What is your objective - what do you look to achieve with your scrapbook?

2. Who are you making the scrapbook for? Is the scrapbook for you, your family, a friend or maybe for your child’s school…

3. Who or what is the content of your scrapbook? Who will be in the scrapbook? I am sure there are photos that you just want to make sure you include in your book. What photos are these ?

These are some very important questions to ask your self before selecting your scrapbook theme. You are going to be telling a story through your scrapbook pages. You will want to use scrapbook embellishments that relate to the story that your scrapbook will tell. Remember, if you are creating the scrapbook for someone other than yourself such as a friend or relative, use scrapbook embellishments that reflect that person’s personality or their interests.

MY TOP WAYS TO COME UP WITH A SCRAPBOOK THEME

1. Look through your photos and as a collection you can produce a theme with what you find in common in these photos.

2. Your Childhood vacations. Places you have visited or your most memorable vacation can help you in choosing a very nice theme.

3. Have you participated in any events or projects? Photos or mementos from these events can also be the basis of your scrapbook theme.

4. Special Hobbies and Events . Like I said before… If you love scrapbooking, you may choose for your scrapbook theme to be related to scrapbooking. The things that bring you happiness can be your theme.

5. Genealogy Scrapbooks . Family Tree scrapbooks are a great way to preserve your family history and this is currently a very hot scrapbooking trend.

6. Create your own twist on template themes. Creating a scrapbook about yourself for your parents instead of just doing it for yourself.  These can be focused around recollections of your childhood.
