Heritage Scrapbooking
&
Other Types of Themed Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking actually started with Heritage Scrapbooking. The albums were originally scrapbooking or photo albums with the black pages and photos attached with the black photo corners. They were traditionally albums that were somewhat chronological in order, and showcased important events or accomplishments of the family. Births, weddings, graduations and the occasional appearance in the newspaper.
In addition to the traditional or heritage scrapbooks, scrapbooking has developed into themed books centered around one event or idea. Travel scrapbooks to showcase a special Vacation; albums about a family Military or Public Service Hero; albums about Special Events, Occasions or Hobbies. And don't forget the true Heritage Scrapbooking for when you find one of those older, cherished family photos.
But all in all, think of them as a "family diary" and think of yourself as the "keeper of the family diary". Keeper of the Family Diary! What an honorable position that is!
Themed books are actually the easiest to get started on - especially if you have a lot of photos from an event or vacation. There is no set number of pages that your book needs to be - just the number of pages required to cover the photos and memorabilia that you wish to showcase. You can always add pages or remove pages to finish your book.
I estimate about 5 to 6 photos per two page spread if you want to leave your photos the standard 4" x 6".
