Basics to Get Started
 |
Photos |
The focus of your scrapbook should be the photos. Snap photos
of everyday events as well as important occasions. Keep your camera
on hand and ready. Don't miss out on a priceless moment by running
out of film or having dead batteries.
|
Albums |
Scrapbooking has become such a popular hobby that there are many album
options available today. When selecting an album, choose an album that
works best for your photos, memorabilia and your budget. For some
great tips check out New
Bees Guide to Choosing an Album.
|
Organization |
Having a place to work on your scrapbook is important. A table
is the most common workspace. Many people have limited space however,
so it is important to organize your photos and supplies. You can
use a filing cabinet, crate or even boxes if that works for you.
A nice site for storage strategies is Graceful

Time |
Everyone has a busy schedule these days and sometimes finding time
can be difficult. Setting aside just one or two hours a week will
keep your scrapbook up to date. Also, getting together with friends
and family to work on your scrapbooks is also helpful. To find other
