Things You'll Need:
- Stiff card stock
- Sharp scissors
- Blank scrapbooking page
- Acid-free tape or gum adhesive
-
Step 1
Look for scrapbook templates at a site like ScrapbookTemplates.com (see Resources below). You can purchase templates online and download them to your computer. You can also purchase software at a local store that contains scrapbooking templates.
-
Step 2
Look for templates that pertain to the theme of your scrapbook. Every scrapbook has a theme.
-
Step 3
Select templates that reflect your interests. Your scrapbook pages will often be centered around a particular activity you are interested in or participate in on a regular basis. Templates that have items pertaining to these interests are good choices.
-
Step 4
Print out the online templates you select onto stiff card stock and cut them out with sharp scissors for ready-to-use scrapbook templates.
-
Step 5
Consider getting a scrapbooking kit. Kits often come with pre-designed pages, and they come with virtually everything you need to create a complete scrapbook organized around a specific theme (like your vacation). HSN.com has scrapbooking kits (see Resources below).
-
Step 6
Create your own template. Draw a design onto card stock and cut it out. You can then use it as a template and save it for use in future scrapbooking projects. This is a good option if you are particularly creative or if you can't find a template that you like.
