Instead of placing all your pictures into a simple photo album and sticking it on a shelf to be forgotten, make your own scrapbook full of memories and photos. Use simple craft supplies to create a photo scrapbook of specific events or celebrations, or make a new book that focuses on each year.
Instructions
1. Choose a background paper. Use card stock for the backing to give your scrapbook page more stability.
2. Cut a coordinating paper to one-half an inch larger than the size of the photos. For example, if the photo you are using measures 4 inches by 6 inches, cut the paper to 4 1 /2 inches by 6 1 /2 inches. Repeat this step to create mats for each photo you plan to use.
3. Place a line of glue onto the back of each photo and position it onto the center of the paper mat. Glue the back of the photo mat and place it onto the background paper. Repeat with each photo.
4. Decorate the scrapbook page with embellishments such as brads, buttons, stickers and journaling. Add a title to the page using chipboard alphabet letters or words.
5. Place the scrapbook page into a page protector. Put the protected page into the scrapbook album. Repeat steps one through five to create multiple pages to fill the scrapbook album.
