Scrapbooking is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. It allows you to expend creative energy and showcase your photographs and memories in a much more creative and pleasing way than traditional albums and frames.
When it comes to scrapbooking, there are no rules or standards that apply–your scrapbook pages are made and designed by you, so whatever you want and like is acceptable.
Many people like to incorporate quotes into their scrapbook pages. These are a great way to put into words what the pictures on your scrapbook pages are conveying.
If you’d like to use scrapbook quotes on your scrapbook pages, the following are some ideas for where to find them:
Books
If you have a favorite book or books, consider turning to them for quotes, particularly if the scene in the book is relevant to the event in photos that you’re scrapbooking. Browse through your favorite books and look for quotes you may like.
You could also look through classic books. Quotes from classic literature are often found on websites and other places. The Bible or other religious text is also a good place to look for quotes you can scrapbook.
Online
The Internet will be a great resource for finding scrapbook quotes. Simply type in “scrapbook quotes” into a search engine and have access to hundreds of quotes about virtually every subject, from family to friends to seasons to love.
You can also type in the type of quote you would like and search that way; for example, if you are looking for inspiration quotes, quotes about nature, or quotes about weddings. There are a number of websites that are devoted to nothing but quotes for scrapbooking, usually organized by category.
Another way to search for quotes is to look for quotes by some of your favorite historical figures, such as JFK, Benjamin Franklin, or Mark Twain.
Journals
If you happen to keep a journal, you may have quotes from your friends, children, or others that you are scrapbooking. Putting their quotation, as well as the date or age of the child when the quote was said, in your scrapbooking page can help anyone who looks at it relive the moment, and is a great way to make the page more personalized. If you don’t keep a journal, a cute or witty thing someone in the photos said during that day or event is also a great source for scrapbook quotes.
Some people find it useful to keep “quote books” for occasions, whether for scrapbooking or other purposes. Writing down your favorite quotes makes them easier to access later on and incorporate them into your scrapbooking.
Scrapbook supply stores
If you have a scrapbook supply store, you can find many quotes on all different types of mediums and themes. Vellum is a popular medium for writing or printing quotes on, as it makes it easy to layer over pictures and patterned paper. You can also find a wide range of tags and other supplies to write your own quotes. Scrapbook stores typically sell quotes in groups of themes, such as vacation, weddings, friendship, and so forth.
Quotes are a great way to add to a theme of a scrapbook page or to help enhance a page. Whether you are looking for a quote from a famous person of history or a whimsical quote about love, there are many resources for finding the perfect quotes for scrapbooking.
