Step 1
Following a theme with scrapbooks is key when it comes to choosing paper, stickers or decorative touches for a scrapbook page. Once you know what theme you want to follow, buy enough decorative or plain (solid colors) scrapbook paper for the pages of your book. These come in standard sizes, usually 8"x8" or 12"x12", or 9.5" x 11".

Step 2
To make a page for the scrapbook, choose a sheet of paper for the page. Next, choose what photos or memorabilia (ticket stubs, certificates, etc.) you want to go on the page. Cut or trim the photos with a decorative edge if desired, or leave them the way they are. You can glue the photo directly to the paper with an acid free gluestick, or you can first glue it to a frame or border (another sheet of paper cut to be just larger than the photo), and then glue that to the paper. Arrange the photos on the page in an aesthetically pleasing way. Do not crowd the page with too many pictures, usually 1-3 look best per page.

Step 3
Let the glue on the photos dry about 30 seconds till they are set to the paper. Now you can decorate the remainder of the page with stickers, cut outs, glitter, ribbon or any other decorative touch that can be glued to the paper. Craft stores carry lots of these items with the scrapbook supplies. Once you are finished decorating the page, you can slide the paper into the plastic page holder of the scrapbook and continue this process with the rest of the pages for the book.
