CHOOSING A SCRAPBOOK THEME

Over the years, scrapbook theme has been considered as a work of art. It is simply an assemblage of pictures taken in a particular event for purposes of recollection. It will help you become more focused and organized in creating your masterpiece.

Your scrapbook theme can be simple or complex and it could be special events such as birthday, debut, wedding, holidays, etc. This can also be a personalized one containing special interests of the scrapbook recipient. Interests such as cartoon/animation characters, cars, sports, flowers, etc. can become a theme for your scrapbook.

Consider these three (3) things in choosing your scrapbook themes.

1. What is your general scrapbook objective?

2. To whom do you intend to make this scrapbook?

3. Who or what is the content of your scrapbook?

Answers that you will derive from the aforementioned queries are factors in choosing an appropriate theme. Your scrapbook theme must go along with the embellishments you will be using and must be in accordance with the story being told by the pictures. Choosing embellishments that reflect someones personality is the best approach when making a scrapbook for a friend.
