How to Make a Scrapbook on Plant Life
A scrapbook with a plant life theme can serve as a general informative resource on plant life. Another idea is to create a scrapbook that categorizes plant life by season. You can further personalize the scrapbook by choosing only to include your favorite plants as well as adding in your own photos that capture your love for plants, nature and the outdoors. Common scrapbook sizes include 12 by 12 inches, 12 by 9, 9 by 9, 8 by 8, 6 by 6, and many more. Most scrapbooks contain 20 pages.

Collect photos you want to include in your scrapbook. You can use the originals or scans of the photos. Cut nature-themed paper down to the size of each individual scrapbook page, if you are not using a scrapbook with 12-by-12 pages.

Choose which page you want to construct first. Lay select photos on top of your chosen background paper. You can create a collage with several coordinating photos or use just one or two photos and leave the rest of the page for written or printed text. Create a layered layout by embellishing each page with floral, plant and other nature-themed stickers, decorative borders, stencils, and hand-written or printed captions and journaling. Once you finalize the layout, glue each component into place. Continue this process until you have completed all pages in your scrapbook.
