'Templates' or as I prefer to called them, Scrapbooking patterns are simply ideas that can help you along especially if you are a beginner. There are hundreds of templates out there to choose from; from wedding, to babies, to parties and much more.
To get started and make something that will be beautiful and appealing, you will need to get all the material needed to make your scrapbook and then you will need to choose pictures that you would like to gather into an album.
What is most fun about scrapbooking is that you have the chance to really personalize your pictures. You can crop them, add poems or lyric of a song that is connected to that special day and even memorabilia, like plane tickets from your honeymoon and so on.
Scrapbooking albums are found in 3 different sizes. The most popular is 12" x 12" but you also have paper size which is fun too 8" x 11" and all new is a smaller size 7" x 7", very cute for a vacation album.

To help you decide on the colors and texture you might want on your pages, simply look at your pictures and choose colors and texture that will make them stand out. Don't forget to add quotes or little story that are attach to the pictures.
For example, one of you scrapbook could be all about the precious little person in your life, your baby. You have tons and tons of picture baby first day, baby first smile, first bath, first sit, and the one and only first step; all important things to document for him or her when they grow up.
