New Years Scrapbook
Planning to create a New Years
Scrapbook is fun and something that you can start as soon as
you are ready. A New Years scrapbook is a great way to start
a new hobby or go back and revisit an old one.
Creating a New Years
Scrapbook
People all over the world enjoy scrapbooking
as a hobby. You may already be into scrapbooking, or maybe
not yet. Each day someone new begins their first scrapbook.
If you’re interested in trying this popular pastime,
scrapbooking starts this new year when you plan ahead to
make your first scrapbook project. A New Years
scrapbook is a great way to start a new hobby
Scrapbooks are a better place to store pictures and mementos
rather than keeping them in boxes where they could get lost
or damaged. Scrapbooks are also an easier way for people to
enjoy the photos they contain. What better way is there to
showcase your memories than with pictures and journal spaces
to bring those memories back to mind?
Having a New Year’s Eve party is a great time to start a
chronological New Years scrapbook for the coming year.
You’ve made your list of guests, sent out invitations, have
the menu planned, and even have party games planned. Why not
have several disposable cameras sitting around the party so
your guests can take candid shots while the party is going
on. A digital camera would also be a good idea to have
available.
How do you plan for a great New Year’s
scrapbook if you’ve never completed one before? Obviously,
for scrapbooking you will need a scrapbook, pictures, and
paper to put them on, as well as scissors, photo corners or
glue, embellishments, stickers, pens for journaling, and
sheet protectors.
As soon as you can after New Year’s Eve, plan on having the
film developed or printed if the camera is digital. Gather
your materials and plan on spending some time to get each
page to look just as you’d like it.
Choose five or six great pictures from the party rather than
trying to work on all of your photos at once. You want to
enjoy the process, the memories, and the fun of scrapbooking
so you don’t want to overwhelm yourself. Take your time and
play with the photos and the layout to find what works best.
Think of a title for each of your pages. “Happy New Year!”
is an obvious choice, but you might want something more
creative like “Waiting for the ball to drop” or “Auld Lang
Syne”. Look at the photographs and decide what title works
best with them.
Don’t be afraid to crop your photos to focus on one person
or a group of people. If you use scissors to cut the photos,
you may want to put photo frames over them to hide the
edges. Add boxes to journal the names of the people in the
photos or other information you want to remember about the
photo.
Scrapbooking continues to grow in popularity and the number
of supplies you can find for it is mind-boggling. Take some
time to look through the craft stores to find items that
will enhance your photos and give your first scrapbook
project of the New Year your sense of creativity.
Why not start a new tradition and start a New Years
Scrapbook or help a friend create one.
