The memories can be in photos, articles or other materials that remind the scrapbooker of the event they want to preserve. To create the scrapbook, special scrapbook supplies are used. These can be almost anything the crafter wants to use to decorate the book and the pages in the book.
Using Supplies
The most used scrapbook supplies consist of glue, felt, lace, buttons, foil and cellophane paper, construction paper and anything else that can be glued and made to look “pretty”. Most arts and crafts stores carry anything a scrapbooker would need to make their books. Whether the books have a specific theme or it is just a collage of various items.
For example, a plaid theme would consist of a base color for the pages and the cover, such as white, and the plaid look could be had by gluing differing sized pieces of paper over top in a plaid pattern. Additionally, cellophane paper can be used to produce the plaid effect of one color over top another. The scrapbook supplies that would be used for a project such as this include glue, cellophane paper, aluminum foil, construction paper and various other decorations.
Other popular styles include a Victorian, doily, comic book characters, paisley and many others. The fact remains though that no matter what scrapbook supplies are used to create even the most elaborate of styles, plain styles, or what is being preserved, in most cases the person doing the scrapbooking holds the event to be memorialized very dear to them. Of course, all of these items are perfect to include in party bags for special occasions.
Where to Find Supplies
Scrapbook supplies can be found at various online stores that specialize in arts and crafts in addition to specialty crafts stores such as Michael’s. Additionally, mass retailers such as Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart.com also sell scrapbook supplies, but they do so at a discount. The trade off with the monetary discount is that the mass retailers do not have an endless variety of scrapbook supplies as the arts and craft specialty stores do.
Scrapbooking has always been an act of preserving a memory; however, scrapbooking can also be a stress reducer and help with depression. Many people recommend scrapbooking because of the meditative effects created by the soothing repetitive activity. Whatever reason you take up scrapbooking, always be sure that you have the proper scrapbook supplies needed to complete the job.
