Scrapbooking is important for many reasons, including preserving history and memories for future generations. It is important to keep track of how a baby grows and learns, and to save wedding memories such as the ring, the dress, the bride, the groom, the kiss, and the engagement party. It is also important to tell everyone about your holidays. Scrapbooking is a great way to tell our stories, whether it is about holidays, pets, remodeling an old house, or getting rid of feelings about something. It is similar to keeping a diary, and can be used to create scrapbook pages dedicated to your interests, graduation/school years, and job.
There are numerous reasons to scrapbook! For starters, it's history, right? And it is critical that we remember and cherish these memories, especially for future generations. I would have been overjoyed if my mother had saved stories to go with all of her photos. She still keeps my baby pictures and pictures of her family in shoeboxes. Isn't that a horrible thought?
We all have tons of photos of our ancestors, or at least the majority of us do, but there are so many other memories to treasure besides family trees. How about the first year of a baby's life? You can keep track of how your baby grows and what he or she learns month by month. This would make an excellent wedding gift.
Of course, you'll want to save your precious wedding memories. Not only professional photos, but also photos from the reception, church, and possibly even your engagement party. Subthemes include the ring, the dress, the bride, the groom, the kiss, and so on. There are whole lists!
What about your holidays? You don't want to just throw these pictures in a regular album! That would be a waste of time! You'll want to tell everyone about where you went, what you saw, and what you did, right? Names, locations, and dates are all crucial in scrapbooking. That is why we scrapbook: to tell our stories! The same is true for holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter.
Do you have any animals? There are numerous cute ideas and embellishments for pet pages available. It's fantastic! I've scrapped my big red tabby cat Pooky and made really adorable memory pages. Pets are like children to some people!
Have you ever remodeled an old house and taken before and after photos? That is a fantastic scrapbooking idea. You can keep a journal of all the work you've done to restore the house, how long it took, and any mistakes you made along the way!
Get rid of your feelings about something. There doesn't even have to be a picture on the page; simply use your imagination to design a pleasing layout using only your words and emotions. It's similar to keeping a diary, except it might be something you want to show someone else. So keep it tidy! What about your interests? I've created scrapbook pages dedicated to scrapbooking!
Just a few more to get you started: graduation/school years and your job (if it's worth keeping). Have a great time scrapping!!!
