Turning Memories into Artwork: A Beginner’s Guide to Scrapbooking

Want to learn how to transform your memories into beautiful artwork?

Throughout this class you’ll learn how to design and create beautiful pages in your scrapbook to look back on as memories for years to come.

We’ll cover the layout of holiday pages, pages dedicated to your loved ones and your pets. By the end of this class you’ll also know how to make your own polaroid photos for a quarter of the price, as well as perfecting title fonts and making your own stickers. Bringing all these techniques together, you will be able to capture an atmosphere within your pages and bring people and places to life. Scrapbooking at the end of the day is just a form of storytelling.

If you have all these photos on your phone lying around and want to bring them to life in a scrapbook, then this class is for you. Whether you’ve had photo albums or scrapbooks before or this is your first time, there’s skills to be learnt at all levels.

As humans we want to cherish our memories and be able to look back fondly on people or specific places and having a scrapbook that can connect you to the past is really powerful. They also make great gifts for friends and family and are brilliant heirlooms. 

I will be using my brown CassArt binder A4 book as well as all different types of glues - spray, corner stickers, glue sticks, and lots of washi tape. Start collecting things like your favourite restaurant business card, or a map of your local town front eh tourist centre, or even receipts from your favourite dessert place. These are the little things that are so mundane at the moment but in 5 - 10 years time will bring you so much joy and happiness. Feel free to use whatever materials you have but I will also link everything I use in the product description.

I look forward to seeing you in the class!
