5 Tips for Collage Scrapbooking

I found thiz on the internet and I wanted to share it with you INJOY! "I wanted to give you some tips that you could start following to really help improve your scrapbooking. I know that this sort of thing is really “art” and I can’t really tell you how to do it right because there isn’t a right way. I think the important part of having a collage is to tell a story. You don’t necessarily have to tell a story about an event or something like that, but you can tell a story about who you are or who your family members are. It’s really up to you on what you do. I have some tips that you can follow to really improve that actual scrapbook and make things stand out more." Custom Rubber Stamps You might not be aware of this, but you can usually contact manufacturer of rubber stamps and get your own custom versions of it. Typically you can get your family member put on it or do something interesting. Put a logo of your favorite team or anything really. It’s your choice what you decide to make the stamp look like, but it is something that you don’t often see inside a scrapbook. It can really add some depth to the whole look and adds a unique quality to it. Song Lyrics I don’t know about you, but I often associate feelings with songs I listened too during the time of the event. This can be an important thing to put in your book because it just brings back the feeling. Slap some of the lyrics up on the page and it helps show that you were in a specific mood during that time. Acrylic Paint This is something that most people don’t have around the house, but you can do pretty interesting things with it. You can create metalic, bronze and even earth tone looks to your pages with it. All you have to do is use it as the background and things will really stand out. You can always use the most appropriate one to get the point across. Strong Glue I know that you’re going to feel like using glue that school kids would be using for some sort of arts and crafts, but that stuff really doesn’t last. You’ll notice a month after you put something in the scrapbook, that things will be falling off the pages and you could very easily lose pictures. A strong and long lasting glue can be purchased at any collage scrapbooking store and will insure that things will stick for years without any problems. Age Your Photos This is an odd technique that a lot of people like to use. I think it helps if you want the picture (not the contents, but the physical picture) to seem older. What you do is dip a corner or something in tea and let it sit for a while. As it dries out it will start to look like a really old picture.
