Scrapbooking designs are the basis for any scrapbook. They are the foundation on which the memories, photos and words are placed. There are designs for everyone, designs that can be done by anyone and designs that fit with any style that may be used.
Scrapbooking is more than just putting words on a page and throwing a few pictures on it. Thought you can scrapbook that way if you choose. However, the majority of people view scrapbooking a little differently than that. Scrapbooking involves something called themed pages. Themed pages are made up of scrapbooking designs.
Types Of Scrapbooking Designs
Let us start off with beginning designs in scrapbooking. Beginning designs may consist of basic elements; you are going to have perhaps a designed or color sheet of paper, which is cut out to be slightly larger than the actual photo, or item that is going on the page. This is attached to the page usually using a special type of double-sided tape. It can be placed a number of ways so which ever way fits with the theme of your particular design is fine. Then the photo is placed over the paper and attached with special photo double-sided tape that will not yellow or cause issues with the photos. Photos are only placed after they are cut.
Other design elements other than paper, photos and journaling space may be included in scrapbooking designs. These include the use of stickers, dies, stamps, paper folding, brads and other forms of attachment. The more elements a page have usually the more complex the design. Also the more complex the design the more space it will take up leaving your with little space for pictures or a book you have issues closing.
There are plenty of various scrapbooking designs that are available so whether you are a beginner or a pro at scrapbooking you will find something that will work for you. Looking at craft stores and scrapbooking supply stores and companies can provide you with a wealth of resources when looking for designs. There are also a number of websites and books that are available as well to provide information on designs and step-by-step guides to creating any style you want for your scrapbook. Do not be afraid as well to be creative and create your own designs that are unique to you, your family and your way of maintaining the memories you and your loved ones create.
