Keeping a handy supply of scrapbooking supplies in stock ought to constantly be an essential part of every scrapbooker's to-do list. Skilled scrapbookers know that a great idea or inspiration could hit them at any given moment, so it would immensely frustrating to go into your workshop and locate your self low on papers or embellishments. Nevertheless, it could be impractical to stock up on all the scrapbooking supplies you could locate at your nearest crafts or hobby shop, so I've prepared a list for you to know what are the most essential materials that you usually have to have within your workshop.
Albums - This will be the foundation of all your pages, so it is a no-brainer to include this as one of the most significant issues to constantly have on hand. You do not have to obtain dozens of them; just consider what you commonly scrap about or what your favorite themes are, then maintain a few albums on hand (two or three would be just suitable) to accommodate those. If probable, also attempt to have at least one album in a 8 1/2" x 11" size and another one in a smaller 8" x 8" size. Scrapbooks are an awesome hobby which requirements the correct tools or motivation like the Basic Grey Scrapbook you see on this page.
Can you help a novice scrapbooker?
I have never scrapbooked before but I have decided to make my daughter a scrapbook of memories (hers) for her 21st birthday in September, I hope I've left enough time.
I have bought a lush 12x12 inch album and a set of fusion papers and fibres from basic grey, but where do I go for advice from here? I could probably put something nice together without help but if anyone can recommend any ideas for a novice eg books, magazines or web sites it would be greatly appreciated. I am in the UK.
Your local library will probably have books and maybe videos/DVDs on scrapbooking. If you have a local craft shop selling scrapbooking materials ask them about workshops or groups in the area. Other scrapbookers will be only too pleased to give help and advice and if you work with a group you can share tools and buy small oddments if they have something just right to go with one of your photographs.
createandcraft and qvc are on Sky and the Internet 24 hours a day but you may have to spend too much time watching for something relevant to be worth it and they are trying to sell you stuff.
There are at least 6 monthly scrapbooking magazines on the market. They have good ideas but again you may not find anything relevant.
Finally if you have to go it alone I would invest in a good book.
Le Nae's Scrapbooking Basics from Hot Off the Press HOTP-2326 could be a good one for you as she is a busy working mum so hasn't got time to get too fancy. You would get this book from a craft shop or on the internet. If you a near a Waterstones go to the craft section, get a selection of scrapbooking ideas books, sit down on the couch and pick one or two with layouts that appeal to you.
Remember layouts are only a guidline - your photo should determine the colours and embellishments you use - you probably wont be able to get all the sheets and items used anyway. The most basic thing to do is to mount your photo on a piece of paper or card which complements the photo and the background sheet. This gives the photo a border which immediately gives it more ooomph. Ruthlessly cut away any parts of the photo which are not relevant - use copies if you don't want to use originals. You can cut in circles, ovals, heart shapes, make decorative edges with scissors. Tear strips of papers and stick them across your pages. The joy of scrapbooking is that the possibilities are limited only by your own imagination.
Page Protectors - It wouldn't be effectively known as a scrapbook if it didn't have page protectors on it. These items are what keeps your pictures and layouts protected and safe for years to come, so that your kids and even your grandchildren may perhaps appreciate your masterpiece in all its glory. There are fundamentally two forms of page protectors accessible - clear and non-glare, so I suggest keeping a minimum of 1 of every. Paper - Whether or not for backgrounds, layers, or anything else, you'll need paper in the event you must create a scrapbook. Patterned or textured paper alone could be utilised in lots of creative approaches to both serve as backgrounds and embellishments at the identical time, so be sure you have plenty on board.
Adhesives - Simply put, adhesives are what keeps your photos and embellishments in location, appropriate where you want them to be. Needless to say, you can't use just any kind of glue; at the incredibly least, you will want something to hold your pictures in location with out damaging them over time. Search for those which are non-toxic. Scissors - A different basic scrapbooking tool which you really should always have on hand and ready to go. Many individuals use tools like an exacto knife or a paper cutter, but a superb pair of scissors can do the job if you do not have the other ones. Maintain your scissors sharp and clean; making use of old scissors which are not quite sharp will run the possibility of damaging your paper or pictures. You will find other scrapbooking materials that you may perhaps require down the road, including cutting mats, colored markers, pens, pencils, plus more varieties of paper and adhesives. On the other hand, you are able to generally obtain these supplies later on, after creating certain that probably the most essential items are already in stock and ready for use at a moment's notice. Scrapbooks are an awesome hobby which wants the proper tools or motivation like the Basic Grey Scrapbook you see on this page.
