pages with many layers, shapes, and textures. You’re probably an eclectic or shabby chic scrapbooker. Do you prefer layouts that look like magazine ads? Then you’re probably a “clean and simple” scrapbooker. By identifying your style early on, you’ll save time and money and be happier with your work in the long run.


Don’t scrapbook it all! When many of us started scrapbooking, we were fixated on the idea of scrapbooking every single event in our lives. It’s easy to get discouraged trying to meet this goal. Looking back, many of the scrapbookers I spoke with would take a different approach: They would NOT try to scrapbook all of their photos. Instead, they would scrapbook only certain events and use divided page protectors to display the remaining photos. These popular page protectors come in a variety of different configurations, and allow the scrapbooker to slide in photos of various sizes, plus journaling cards or bits of patterned paper. They can be interspersed with layouts, allowing the scrapbooker to include all events in an album, without the “pressure” to scrapbook each one.


Try 3-ring binders Many of my fellow scrapbookers started scrapbooking with strap-hinge albums, and then gravitated to post-bound albums over time. Post-bound albums freed us from many of the constraints inherent in strap- hinge albums, but they can be cumbersome to work with when adding pages. Today, many scrapbookers are using 3-ring binders, and wish they’d done so from the beginning. Binders offer the best solution
