The result will look like a lot of time and effort was put into adding these effects, but the company did all the work for the scrapper.

Pre-designed Pages

A very simple way to make a scrapbook is to purchase a pre-designed flat paper scrapbook. These books can be purchased easily. They have headings and borders as well as printed embellishments on the pages. It does not have dimension, but it is especially a great option for children who wish to make their own scrapbooks without spending a lot of time on them. All that is needed for these scrapbooks is pictures.

Scrapbook Kits

Another great option instead of taking the time to design pages personally is to purchase a pre-designed kit. With this purchase the scrapper will receive a scrapbook, matching papers, stickers, borders and embellishments. The concepts of the pages are already created. All the scrapper needs to do is arrange the pages. What makes this a simple scrapbook is that most of the thinking and designing is done for the scrapper. Pages can be put together in minutes and it will look like hours were spent on the pages.

Small Accordion Books

Thinking small can be a great way to make scrapbooking simple. Accordion books are basically pieces of cardstock that have been folded like an accordion and then tied. It makes it easy because the pages are small. One picture will fit on the miniature page and the next page can be used for embellishments. A mini-accordion book can probably be put together in about one hour. These are fun books to make for moms and grandma's to keep as a purse pocket scrapbook.

Simple Themes

It is best to complete a simple themed project first. Beginning with a big even such as a wedding day can be a rough start just because there is an awful lot of material to scrap. A simple scrapbook also means selecting a simple theme. Instead of choosing to scrap the entire wedding, instead just do a small book about the honeymoon or a bridal shower. Divide the theme down and this will make the scrapbook a little simpler.

Enjoy using these simple scrapbooking tips and the idea of making a scrapbook will appear to be an easy project.
