Scrapbooking is a very hands on pastime which is why I found a scrapbooking video guide a must.

It is very easy to start off on any creative project and let your ego carry you away - I know I’ve been there.

But as with everything there are some boundaries, and guidelines out there to get beautiful results that we’d never have given thought to ourselves.

Also; especially with scrapbooking you can sometimes get a bit stuck for ideas and wish for a new lease of life as far as creative expression and imagination goes.

Scrapbooking has become quite an easy way to compile and present photos, memories and so much more. Particularly with the many available online and offline tools made available today for the avid scrapbooker. One such website I recently visited had nearly 115,000 members registered on their forums. In fact, there were nearly 900 people on the forums at the very same time I was there. And this was 2:00 in the afternoon!

Holidays and special events are filled with memories which we do our best to capture on film. Often there are only a few really “good” photographs which, alone on a page, don’t do justice to all the special moments which make the time so memorable.

SO… faced with so many pics and such special memories…what do we do?

1. Choose those really “good” photos as key elements to tell your story. Print these larger depending on the requirements and size of your page or project. Matt or double-matt them individually or “pop” them to make them the focus of the design.

It is terrible to lose a family member (or in some cases pets) and most of us have had to suffer such a loss. Everyone grieves differently. Some people can express their grief and overcome it quicker than others who find it difficult to grieve and express their feelings. What I have found, is that it scrapbooking can help heal when suffering a loss. It can provide a little bit of closure and help you to grieve in a more productive way, because what you’re doing with scrapbooking is not only displaying photos, you are telling a story, talking about your feelings and sharing your pain, even if you don’t show it to anyone.
