Scrapbooking Theme – Mail/Letters

Before the advancement in technology, we used to get overly excited whenever we receive letters via postal mail. Those days are long gone but anyone who had experienced that thing can probably agree that it was something special and very unique. Imagine having to read beautifully handwritten messages from the people you love and care about. Isn’t it wonderful to know somebody remembered you and took the time to write and send you a letter?

Unlike emails and text messages which you can receive in an instant, snail mails take some time to get to you. Typically, it can take 1 to 4 days or even a whole week depending on the location and circumstances. Yes, you might have to wait for days but that’s part of the thrill!

Do you like writing letters? Do you still have a collection of handwritten mails from your family, friends, or someone special? Then, take a look at these layouts we featured here so you can get some ideas on how to put them in the spotlight for your next scrapbooking project.

Scrapbooking with big or small photos?

If you look in galleries, you might seek a variety of sizes used for the photos in layouts. Some of them will have huge photos used as a background, some will have photos taking half the space of the layout while others will have tiny photos barely visible. What is the purpose of those different sizes?

Although scrapbooking is perceived as an artistic memory keeping, some scrapbookers just want to create art and the photos are not the focus of their project. The importance of the photos and the memories might, in some cases, determine their sizes in a layout. However, other factors can determine whether the artist will use a large or small photo.
