Rules are made to be broken
In scrapbooking, rules are made to be broken. Part of the fun of creating a special book to document your personal history is that your work is totally unique. Your scrapbook should be an expression of your thoughts, feelings, and talents – not a carbon copy of some idea that happens to be trendy at the moment.
Novice scrapbookers are often under the impression that there are certain guidelines one must follow to make a layout. I’ve heard people say you can’t mix one and two page layouts in the same album, that every page must have both a title and journaling, and that all of your photos must be matted. This is completely not true. There are many different ways to scrapbook. If you love a fresh and contemporary look, you can make graphic designed inspired pages that look like hip advertisements. However, if you prefer vintage charm, there are plenty of options for old-fashioned pages as well. The only “right” way to scrapbook is to do what makes you happy!
