Inspiration for Scrapbooks Pages
Scrapbooking is a great creative outlet as well as a personal way to preserve memories. Whether you prefer hand creating a scrapbook or enjoy digital scrapbooking, you will always need inspiration. Pages are often developed around one central theme, idea, event or activity. While some occasions in life are easy to turn into scrapbook pages, other less obvious ones may help create a more diversified scrapbook.
One of the very first things that must be mentioned is also the best source of inspiration: your pictures. Looking through your pictures will typically give you at least a few ideas for scrapbook pages. You should also determine if you have enough pictures to do at least one 12 x 12 page. If you have a picture that would work great for a page idea, make sure that you have other complimentary pictures that will expand on the central picture.
Scrapbooks typically have pages revolving around holidays and birthday, and rightly so. These are memory creating times that usually involve the gathering of friends and family. You may already have pages revolving around Christmas, Halloween, Easter and birthdays since these often revolve around children, but also consider other holidays like Memorial Day (parade pictures?), Valentine’s Day and Fourth of July (going to fireworks?).
Besides the usual holidays, inspiration can be found in a variety of other events and activities. Here are some ideas to consider:
1. preschool or starting school
2. milestones
3. graduations (kindergarten, etc)
4. achievements and awards from clubs or churches
a. boy/girl scouts
b. church youth group
c. school clubs (Spanish club, FCA, FFA)
5. Sports & Teams
6. Scripture Verses
7. Extracurricular Activities
8. Baby Growth
a. First words
b. First steps
c. First time in trouble
d. Mispronounced words
9. Family member nicknames
10. Playing
a. Playground fun
b. With friends
c. With cousins
d. With grandparents
11. Everyday activities
a. Outline daily activities (lunch, play time, nap time, story time, etc)
12. Family member quotes or catchphrases
Another way to get inspiration is by browsing the selection of paper, stamps, quotes and other supplies at the local scrapbooking store or scrapbooking section at a store. However, this can be dangerous to your financial situation if you are not prepared. It is easy to buy anything and everything that catches your eye causing you to spend much than planned (if you even had a plan in the first place). Here are some ideas to keep you from overspending. Before going, decide on limits. One limit you could set obviously cost; pick an amount and do not go over it. Another limit could be how many ‘inspirations’ you want. Decide to only buy items for the best three ideas that inspire you. You could also combine these two limits, up to three ‘inspirations’, maximum of $25.
There are many places that you can get inspiration for scrapbooking pages. Digital scrapbook templates provided online may help even with your hand-made scrapbooks. Inspiration can also be found when something (like an object or design) catches your eye. These could be seen in driving down the street, in art museums & galleries, or even the grocery store. You may also find great ideas from looking at fellow scrapbook enthusiasts creations.
