1. Pick something you want from what your scrapbook page to be about(a holiday,wedding, birthday-anything!) and gather some photos and keepsakes reminding you of the event.
2. Choose some card, you want the colour to be linked to the subject.Also get some more card to matt the photos and writing.
3. Make the page look better,stick the photos on to some cards (a different colour to the background) and cut about 1cm away around the photo to make it look as if it is in a frame as such.
4. Type the title you want in large on your computer and matt it like the photos,or if you have got a cutting machine (sizzix,ellison.ect.)where you can buy the alphabets.
5. Put patterns across the page or put embellishments on the page,but you can do what ever you want.
6. Type the date and other important facts on the page,these also should be matted.
7. Look before sticking anything on the page,move them round to see where you like them best,then stick them down.
8. Keep all your scrapbook pages in a folder if you wish, it keeps them from getting damaged. Have a folder for each topic if you wish.
Go to your local library. Mine has a lot of books on scrapbooking. Make sure to look at the magazines too. There are several different scrapbooking and paper craft mags. You should be able to check out the old issues
go to walmart in the crafts and get a scrapbook kit or just look at the ones they have and get a general idea.
