Scrapbooks Are A Creative Way To Bring Friends Together
If you are looking for a way to display the drawer full of photographs, scrapbooking is a great solution. It is a way to creatively display birthday, wedding and vacation photos. Beginning is simple and fun. Picking out the various ways to display the photos will get you excited to do a different album for every holiday.
If you are new to the hobby there is plenty of information on the web with easy instructions on getting started. It is best to use your imagination for decorative items to use on the photos as some of the kits can be expensive and complicated.
Using your imagination is the most exciting way to add color and adventure to your albums. Be creative when altering pictures, for example, the photo of your spouse trying to ride the five year old son’s tricycle could become even more fun with a cut out of a black helmet on his head. The idea is to make every photo unique.
Having a birthday picture party every Saturday afternoon for a month will get all of your friends and family involved in a fun creative way to spend the day organizing photos. Send out birthday invitations with instructions that it is not an actual birthday so the only thing to bring is a scrapbook album, the pictures from their oldest Child’s previous birthday and some odd decorative items to be used on the photo albums.
You could include a list of to bring items that specify an exact amount of photographs. For example, each guest is to bring twenty pictures from their last birthday party, regardless of how old the photos are. If you are sure no one has any items to bring, you could have everyone meet at the hobby shop prior to going to your party.
Each guest could bring six sheets of their favorite scrapbooking papers and a few of their favorite decorative items. All items could be put into a ‘community’ pile and all guests could use items from the pile. The rules would be to only use what is in the existing group of items. This will make for some hilarious and far from ordinary albums.
It is hilarious to see how others will decorate your album. Each guest will anticipate seeing how their pictures have been displayed for them. Having a party each Saturday will be a way to have fun get together and organizing photos at the same time.
