Scrapbooking Love Poems
Love poems are a great addition to many scrapbook layouts. You may
choose from a variety of different styles, layouts, fonts, and
lengths. From sonnets to haikus, love poems bring meaning and
sentiment that may be hard to introduce using only scraps of material
and paper.
Sources:
Your first question, where can I find love poems to use in my
scrapbooks? Well, many of the traditional resources for written
scrapbooking materials are a good starting point. Places such as the
internet, books, songs, magazines, and cards are all great places to
look.
If you have more time and are confident in your writing
abilities and decide to write your own love poems, great! A pen, some
paper, and a little thought, and you’re in business. Don’t be
intimidated or try to overcomplicate your poems, just write what comes
to mind. These words and thoughts will become invaluable to you as
time passes.
Presentation:
Once you have decided what love poems that you are going to use,
you are probably wondering what would be the best way to present them
in your book. Love poems in general are normally placed in mild, soft
textured layouts. Scrap materials such as silk, satin, lace, and tulle
are excellent accessories. You can present these materials in many
ways, all of which look great and will vary upon how much material you
have access to.
Bridal tulle can be used to create a small veil by gathering a
small amount of the material with stitches and decorating it with a
ribbon. This veil can be overlaid on the surface of the love poems to
add a little charm to your layout.
If you are on the hunt for a more complicated layout in which to
use your love poems, a nice wedding scrapbook detail is large grains
of rice that have been colored using a mist (spray) of food coloring
and glued in mosaic-like patterns throughout. This may sound
time consuming, but if you use glue with a paint brush to create
your mosaic’s pattern before adding the rice you will be able to just
sprinkle the rice onto the glue and straighten it as you go.
Should you choose to use this layout, please remember to be sure not
to use too much water or over spray when coloring your rice grains.
And also allow additional time for drying (the glue).
Love poems are not only for use in wedding scrapbooks. Children can
write the sweetest keepsake love poems that far exceed the creativity
and honesty you would find in an adult’s poetry. They can be written
for mothers, fathers, friends, spouses, anyone! One of the sweetest
examples of a love poem that made good scrapbooking material was
written by a six-year old boy for his mother and given to her on
Mother’s Day. Love poems make great additions to any scrapbook.
Another detail that you may want to
think about is whether or not to
type or hand-script your poem into the page. If your penmanship is of
good quality, it is my opinion that handwritten verse is more
authentic then something that was typed out and then printed. However,
if you are unhappy with your handwriting ability, then you might
choose the latter rather then the former. If you do decide to type out
your poems, you might consider taking the time to select a nice
script font for your poems rather then a plain type font.
You can find free fonts online by doing a search for free fonts at
almost any of the popular search engines. Script fonts are very
popular for love poems although you may find another type of font that
you feel will fit into your layout better. Script fonts tend to be
relatively thin-faced fonts so the color used needs to be a darker
color.
Media:
Finally, parchment or linen papers are excellent choices for
handwritten poems or typed ones. They add antiquity and style and are
wonderfully easy to work with. Other choices for media include regular
writing paper, typing paper, stationary, anything handy. Thin or
starched pieces of material will work as well. Your choice will
undoubtedly influence the type of writing utensil you will use.
Sharpie makes a fine-tipped permanent marker that is ideal for this
type of application. If you’re good with a brush, a paintbrush might
be good. Again, whatever you are most comfortable with will work best.
Your love poems should reflect your theme as well as your
personality in its choice of verse, the way it is written, and the
materials used to create the layout. Although they can be used to add
dimension to your scrapbook, try not to use the love poems to take up
space. Remember, the space in your scrapbook is limited and you want
to be sure to use it in the most organized manner as possible.
Planning is the key to success! Happy scrapbooking!
