- How to Organize a Scrapbook Album?
I often hear about people creating "theme" albums (for example, to commemorate a trip, a wedding, a baby album, etc.) however, what about if you have ideas for pages that you want to scrap that cannot possibly be made into an entire album and do not share a common theme with any other pages that I make. In my case, some of the ideas I have are to create a page about a bracelet that has special meaning to me, and a page about my worst fears, etc. Should I just put all the pages in one book about myself? What about the fact that the pages don't coordinate (different colors, elements?) I would also like to make an album for my brother, but again, about random stuff (my brother's love affair with his car, his surfer boy image, his hopes and dreams, and the like.) Any recommendations, or examples of how you organize your albums, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all.

A You have such great topics, they are so personal. This would make a wonderful scrapbook. You should title your book "About Me". You don't actually have to put those words on the book, you can start the book with a picture of you. People will know the theme when they see your picture. Using a set of colors for each page will give the book a unified look, each page will be part of a 'whole'. If you don't want to use the same colors throughout, you might consider using colors that complement each other. Use a color wheel to do this. If you don't want complementing colors, you might consider using a different color on each page. However, to keep it from looking 'jumbled', use a common element on each page. For example, if you like flowers, use a flower stamp (or freehand) and put it on each page. Put it anywhere on each page, and in any color - just put it on each page. On one page it could be in the corner of a picture, in another, it could be next to the journaling. You are creative, it is evident with your many ideas on subjects for the book - you should have no problem making a beautiful book. Go for it !!
