When purchasing scrapbook pages for your scrapbook, you should keep two things in mind. All of your pages should be on acid free paper, because acidity can cause your photos and layouts to fade with time. Also make sure that the pages are lignin-free, because lignin makes the papers turn yellow with time.

Cardstock Paper:

Carstock is a heavyweight, acid-free paper that is usually used for scrapbook backgrounds and comes in many different colors and textures.

Patterned Paper:

Acid-free, patterned paper comes in a large variety of different designs and textures. Patterned paper is mostly used as different scrapbooking backgrounds, and accents to backgrounds.

Transparencies:

Transparencies are clear acetate sheets that have mostly been used for different overlays, or windows. Get creative with transparencies. There are many different options.

Vellum:

Vellum is mostly used for layering and stamping. Vellum is a wonderful paper for softening the look of other bolder colors on your scrapbook page.

There are many different types of scrapbook papers and themes available. Most of these will be available at your local arts and crafts store or online on one of the many scrapbooking websites that are available. Remember to be creative and wise in your choice with papers, and to make sure that any paper you choose is both acid free and lignin free to preserve your scrapbook for a very long time. Take your time to use your imagination and create scrapbooks that will last a lifetime. Happy scrapbooking!

Scrapbooking Kits

Scrapbooking kits can be your best friend. Have you ever been on the fringe of finishing a scrapbook, but just feel tired and have run out of ideas? I think any true scrapbooker can relate. Oftentimes scrapbook kits can help you finish a long-dead project, or even help bring out your creative side to give you the resolve to finish. There are many different types of kits for your to choose from including album kits, page kits, and embellishment kits.

Scrapbook Album Kits

Are you new to scrapbooking, or have very little experience? Album Kits would be the perfect choice for you new-comers to the hobby. The album kits are great for setting a base for the scrapbook. They give you the foundation, and allow you to 'build the house'. Use these kits to get you started, and then let your imagination and creativity flow free as you create your first few scrapbooks. Let them help guide you, and give you ideas for the future. Depending on where you are shopping for your album kit, they may have different levels of kits. Sometimes it's as easy as gluing a few pictures into a pre-made book, sometimes they provide you with backdrops and stickers and allow you to do all the designing for yourself. The kit you choose is really dependant on how comfortable you are with your creativity. If you think you need some direction, don't feel bad opting for the less advanced kit.

Scrapbooking Page Kits

Page kits are great for getting the ball rolling. using a page kit for one page can inspire creativity for the next twenty. Page kits, like album kits, have been known to come in different levels. Some page kits are for beginners, and do all of the page planning for you. Others give you an outline and let you add the finishing touches. Try to challenge yourself. Use a page kit for one page, then use a similar theme for that entire section of your scrapbook. See if you can't make a page that looks even better on your own without the use of a kit!

Scrapbook Embellishment Kits

Scrapbooking embellishment kits are generally for those who have experience in page design and know the basic information about scrapbooking. Embellishment kits usually come with stickers, stencils, and other design pieces to help aid you in the creation of your page or of your entire book. Embellishment scrapbook kits are great for creating a 'scrapbook theme'. Since so many embellishment kits you will find online or in stores are made by one company and carry one particular central theme, this makes it easy to help you implement the same theme throughout an entire scrapbook of yours. You can really give your scrapbook a specific feel if you choose to.

Scrapbook Kits are for the newest, and even the most experienced scrapbookers. Scrapbooking kits are great to help spark your own imagination and give you the drive you need to finish your current scrapbook projects and move on to the next with ease and confidence.
