📓 DIY Scrapbook: A Guide to Getting Started📓 

If you are a lover of anything creative and crafty (like me), or you are a budding young person waiting for your next big project to come along, then this is the article for you! I have recently started my own scrapbook which makes me feel amazing, proud and it lets me document all the big events and achievements that happen throughout my life. In this very exciting article, I will share some of my tips, tricks and sneak-peeks into how to create your very own DIY scrapbook.

1) Work With What You Have!  ✂️🖇️

It doesn’t have to be the world’s best supplies, pens, pencils or material you are using. You can upcycle anything including old pictures, paper, cards, postcards or just anything 

that helps you remember the day you are documenting, and that can be glued or stuck onto a page.

2) Tickets and Memorabilias!  🎟️🎫

Whether it is as simple as a small shopping trip into town with your bestie or as huge as a music festival featuring your dream artists, it is always important to keep tickets or any memorable items from the event A train, concert or plane ticket can really elevate the  page by giving it a nostalgic feeling when you look back.

3) Products!  ✏️📖

Here are some links to products I use and personally think are cheap, fun to use and 

the best materials for scrapbooking! 

Black Page Binder Scrapbooks (The Works): https://www.theworks.co.uk/search?q=scrapbook&search-button=&lang=en_GB

I find black pages really make the writing and pictures stand out!

BIC Paint Pens (Tesco): https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/320552617?srsltid=AfmBOopdCISdyBcyGYSnVWRXMhXdXmrPLZsAL1DP9PHAbUuNgqlwD0aL

All of these fun and easy to use stickers and toppers just finish off a page, and come at SUCH CHEAP PRICES!

So those are the tips and tricks, but here is some even better inspiration from my very own colourful scrapbook pages, which I aim to show my true personality through...
