People are always looking for interesting and unique snippets of sayings and
verse that they can add to their scrapbook content. Poems, pieces of songs,
stories, and quotes are good places of reference for these inserts. Famous
quotes are easy to find because well, they’re famous! Have you ever considered
writing down all of those old adages and sayings that your mother and father
always said over and over to you? Cataloguing famous quotes is a fun way to do
this and it preserves that memory of the people who said them often to you for
the future.
If you have the time, it might be interesting to actually sit down and try to
research where each quote originated. It will give you insight in how the famous
quotes were coined and will offer you an amusing story to share with family and
friends.
If you don’t have any predefined quotes that you would like to use, the library
is a great place to go and find sayings and famous quotes. Everyday sayings
coined by popular writers, politicians, singers, and even television stars are
good ideas. For any sports fans, sports related quotes are nice choices.
Whatever fits the environment or mood of your scrapbook.
After you have chosen and compiled your famous quote collection, you can choose
to either interject them into various parts of your scrapbook or you can even
dedicate a small portion of it to the quotes and maybe some pictures that relate
to them either seriously or humorously.
If you choose to display them in different portions of your scrapbook, you might
want to interlace the theme of the layouts that you place them into along with
the famous quotes rather then trying to keep a set or defined style. There are
many ways to incorporate the famous quotes with fun pictures taken during
everyday life activities of loved ones without creating an actual theme based on
or around the quotes themselves.
Famous quotes can be great inclusions in any themed scrapbook. Wedding
scrapbooks offering traditional quotes or advice are nice keepsakes. Famous
quotes can be used to portray a particular time period or fashionable lingo at
the time of a baby’s birth. You can usually find popular quotes that fit into
almost any genre or subject matter.
If you have the space and choose to dedicate a page or small portion of your
scrapbook to famous quotes then you will want to begin the process (after the
quotes are compiled, of course) by sorting through each of the quotes and
assembling them in an order in which will be witty and interesting.
Once you have a general idea of the order that you would like the laid out in,
it’s time to consider what type of layout to create to place them in. The theme
or subject your quotes and scrapbook are based on will influence the best layout
ideas. When I think about famous quotes I tend to envision something proper or
formal in appearance so it’s a great time to pull out the linen or parchment
paper and practice your calligraphy skills. As I often mention, if you happen to
be a little unsure of your penmanship skills and would prefer to type your
quotes out using a word processing program-you can always hunt around the
internet for some calligraphy-style fonts for use with this project. Keep in
mind that typing out your poems will give you less control over the actual
positioning unless you are fairly familiar with your word processing tool. If
you’re weighing back and forth between writing them by hand or typing them out,
you can always sit down with a spare piece of paper and practice just to see
what type of results you get by writing them yourself. When attempting to write
neatly and formally, the pen type and paper choice are just as important as the
writer’s actual writing abilities. Remember, it couldn’t hurt anything to give
it a try and you might be pleasantly surprised with your abilites. Good luck!
