So if someone, like you, were to ask me for advice so that you can start scrapbooking on the smooth side… I would tell you the couple of things that would have done me some good to have known when I started.

Scrapbooking, Are you up for it?

• Are you organized?
• Do you like pictures?
• Do you like taking pictures?
• Do you like making layouts?
• Do you like journaling?
• Are you patient?
• Are you creative?
• Do you have the time?
• Do you have the space?

What Kind Of Pictures Do You Have?

• Parties
• Weddings
• Birthdays
• Vacations
• Family

What style do you like? Do You Know How To Match the Pictures?

• Dark colors
• Light colors
• Types of cutters
• Types of pages
• Page designs

If you have done and figured out all of those… It is time to start scrapbooking! Scrapbooking for beginners is frustrating & it is totally understandable.

At times, there are just no ideas that come to mind. But the beauty of it all is that there is no “wrong” way to scrapbook, it’s your album.

There are classes available that you will find helpful because they have some scrapbooking supplies that you might not have, which means you have a chance of trying the product out first before you buy it.

While attending classes you also get a chance to see other people’s scrapbooks and this might help you create your own. If I knew this… it would have saved me a lot of money. But since you know this, start saving!

Scrapbooking is a great way of preserving memories. You will never regret starting. It might be time consuming but it is extremely rewarding in the end.
