Poem Scrapbooking: Emphasizing Photos

Yes, at their inception, scrapbooks were mostly about photos; scrapbooks are a way to showcase pictures in a way that’s slightly more fun than a pure photo album.  However, some people are more drawn to words than to images, hence the new type of scrapbooking, which is poem scrapbooking.

Some poem scrapbooking is done by choosing poems that one really, truly loves, and then finding a way to express part, or all, of what is expressed in the poem through the background of the page and the scrapbooking accents that are placed on the page with the poem.  Other people consider adding poems to their photo pages to be a kind of poem scrapbooking.

The beautiful thing with scrapbooking is that each album is an individual product, made by an individual, and each one comes out looking different from other scrapbooks made by other people.  If that weren’t the case, scrapbooking would be pretty boring, and it wouldn’t be so popular.

In order to go about making a poem scrapbook, you first need the poems, or you first need the pictures.People doing a scrapbook of their own personal photos tend to have the photos primary and then go looking for poems that suit the photos that they are getting on each page.  However, if you are looking to make a book of the lyrics of a particular favorite singer, you’ll want to use the poems as your scrapbooking base. 

First gather the different poems that you would like to use, or the lyrics to the songs that you are including in the book, and then take a look at each text individually.  Make a list of themes that each relate to each text or poem in your scrapbooking project and then go to the scrapbooking supply store, or to the internet, and start looking for materials on which to print the lyrics and accents that will go nicely with it.  At the end, you’ve got yourself a perfectly unique anthology, which makes a wonderful gift for someone special.
