Advice for the beginner and seasoned scrapbooker
- Be patient with yourself. Give yourself time to find your style. Don't compare to the magazine.
- Don't put pressure on yourself. We all start in the same place...with paper and photos. It's about preserving memories, not winning a layout contest.
- You don't have to use all pictures, just a small handful. Find a photo to use as a prompt for telling your story. Maybe start with a small album.
- Don't scrapbook chronologically. Instead, start with a favorite picture and write about it. Just have fun and share your life.
