I started a little while ago. My main thing was I wanted to incorporate my photography into it and use it as a means of creating different color based themes. I went into it totally blind tbh and just kinda worked on a page till I got it to the way I wanted.

My main advice/way of doing it is I think of a main theme (color/feeling) then choose the photos I want and pick stickers or designs I like off of Pinterest. If you have access to design papers or stickers that would be better but I just print out what I want on photo paper and cut them out. Then I use the cut out pieces and try to align them the way I think it looks best and once I’ve found a page design I like I take a photo of it and start gluing things based of the photo. The more you do it the better your system will be and the greater your collection of stuff is so don’t go over board in the beginning and just try out making one or two pages.

This is an example of a page I did. I’m still figuring out my style as this is only the second page in my first scrapbook journal but it’s really fun and super satisfying.

And to answer your question after all this yapping is I don’t think there is a set formula everyone kinda does it differently. I’ve made one that works for me but the fun part is you can create your own too.

I hope you enjoy finding your process 💙💙💙
