Scrapbooking
as a hobby has been around for decades but, today, the ideal way to scrapbook is to encourage each individual to be creative in the Scrapbook Themes that they use. Gone are the simple black and white scrapbook pages; now colored and textured papers can be used to enhance your carefully chosen photos. And lovely themed stickers and other creative embellishments are woven in to create a truly unique, ‘one-of-a-kind’ memory album.
There really is no limit to the types of Scrapbook Themes you can use in your scrapbooking projects. Whether you choose to highlight one specific event or you decide to compose a large, family album covering years of memories – the options are many and the choice is yours.
FAMILY SCRAPBOOK THEMES
For your own personal scrapbooks, you may choose to create family album sections for your Scrapbook Themes. Each occasion can be given its own scrapbook album section: seasons, holidays, birthdays, family reunions, sporting events, etc.
If a family album is too large of a project to tackle, consider creating Scrapbook Themes specifically for each child. A baby’s ‘firsts’, including their first smile, a lock of hair, first words or baby booties are excellent additions to a baby themed scrapbook.
As the children grow older, the family Scrapbook Themes could include such things as: awards, graduations, certificates and other accomplishments that can be inserted into protective covers to showcase and protect these precious memories for years to come. Make sure to include photos of your child with school friends and special teachers as well.
INDIVIDUAL SCRAPBOOK THEMES
Individual Scrapbook Themes make great small albums and are perfect gift ideas. Themes like a baby’s birth, graduation, marriage, promotions, retirements or other momentous occasions make wonderful unique and memorable gifts.
You can easily and inexpensively make a small gift with a ‘brag book’ accordion style scrapbook album. Purchase coordinating stickers, rubber stamps or charms to make your Scrapbook Themes more tangible. For example, for a wedding scrapbook, you could include such items as the couple’s wedding invitation and newspaper announcement which will be cherished mementos. Use paper doilies, lace, gift wrapping paper and pressed flowers to embellish the pages in keeping with the theme of the scrapbook.
WHEN SELECTING SCRAPBOOK THEMES
Scrapbooking is more than just a fun (and addicting) hobby – it is a way to preserve precious memories. But you do not have to choose Scrapbook Themes just because they are common or can be purchased in a pre-packaged kit. It’s more important to choose the memories that you feel are worth the extra effort of preserving in a scrapbook that will last a lifetime and then determine from that what the scrapbook theme should be.

Christmas is one of the most joyful events in a year. This season gives meaning to life and erupts in love and the festive activities – food, gift and sharing – the perfect time to record in a scrapbook. Aside from the fact that you’ll have plenty of photos to use, you’ll also be able to make use of many scrapbooking ideas to emboss onto your Christmas theme. First of all, in creating a scrapbook based on a festive season, a theme will help guide your way to creating a memorable scrapbook. Second, the use of a theme enables you to prepare beforehand the materials you may need for your scrapbook. Here are some scrapbooking ideas for your Christmas themes.
12 Days of Christmas
May it be your first Christmas with a boyfriend or a new husband or a newborn baby; having a 12 Days of Christmas as a theme oozes a lot of scrapbooking ideas. Record the 12 Days of Christmas with surprise gifts for your honey and jot down the details of each surprise gift. If it’s your first Christmas with the family, prepare different special meals for the 12 Days and have a cookbook type of scrapbook.
Christmas Tree
Bizarre, but totally creative, using a Christmas tree as a theme is quite unique. Decide on the color of your tree and the materials to use – whether real fig leaves, aesthetic leaves or cut-out materials. Use ribbons as branches and each photo as the fruit. Draw branch lines on the background for a more effective “tree” outlook.
