Scrapbook Birthday Party: Where The Guests Will Make Albums Of Favorite Birthdays

If you are like thousands of others who cannot wait to take photos at every occasion and get them printed only to dispose of them into a drawer. It is a habit many of us share, but there is a solution for getting all of those photos out on display. Scrape booking is a fun and creative hobby that is simple to get friends and family together.

There is tons of information available for the beginner, but some of the instructions are rather complicated and the supplies can be expensive if purchased in kits. The funniest way to learn this hobby is to use your imagination.

Using your imagination is the most exciting way to add color and adventure to your albums. Be creative when altering pictures, for example, the photo of your spouse trying to ride the five year old son’s tricycle could become even more fun with a cut out of a black helmet on his head. The idea is to make every photo unique.

Get your family and friends involved by hosting a party. Send invitations inviting all of your friends to bring a scrapbook album, the pictures of a specific holiday and odds and ends that can be used for decorating. For example, you could suggest it be a Christmas follow up party and the requirements are for the guests to only bring photos of the previous Christmas.

To make it even more interesting suggest they only bring a specified amount of pictures and only from a certain day, for example, only bring twenty photos from Christmas morning. There are a number of different ways to get friends and family involved in creating the photo albums. You could all meet at the local hobby shop for selecting necessary items for your gathering. Or you could have the instructions for guests ‘to bring’ items.

Once everyone is at the shop set limitations on how much to spend and what should be purchased. For example have each guest pick out five different scrapbooking papers and two different packages of decorations. When you return home everyone will combine their purchases as a free for all in decorating. Have the guests pick a name at random and their assigned name will be whose album they create using the pictures the person has brought.

It is hilarious to see how others will decorate your album. Each guest will anticipate seeing how their pictures have been displayed for them. Having a party each Saturday will be a way to have fun get together and organizing photos at the same time.
