Scrapbook Layouts for a New Home: A Collection of Page Ideas
Moving to a new home is an exciting event that deserves a place in your scrapbook.
The American Dream
If this is the first home you have ever owned, take a picture of you with the keys to your new place to make a layout discussing how you feel about this major change in your life. What made you decide to become a homeowner? Did you find it difficult to apply for a mortgage? How did you feel when you signed all the loan documents? Once you were in your new home, did you do anything special to celebrate the occasion?
Home Sweet Home
What makes your home now special compared to the places you've lived in the past? One of your scrapbook layouts for a new home could include a timeline layout featuring pictures of all your previous residences next to a large photo of your new home.
No Place Like Home
Take detail shots showing some of your favorite features of your home. Do you love the fireplace in your living room? Is the apple tree in your backyard a favorite spot for the kids to play under? Make a photo collage, then accent the page with brief journaling about each feature.
A Place of My Own
Make a page that documents each member of your family and their favorite place within your home. This is a great opportunity for your kids to talk about their rooms or your husband to share what he loves most about his workbench in the garage.
It's Fun to Decorate
If you enjoy interior design, make a page that describes your process for decorating your home. How would you describe your design style? How long did it take you to complete the project? Are you satisfied with the end result? Include project photos as well as memorabilia such as paint chips and clippings from interior design magazines you used for inspiration.
Fix It Up
If you're doing need home repairs on your own, take pictures of the improvements you are making. How do you feel about this work? Do you enjoy the challenge or is it just a necessary burden?
Time for a Party
Do you enjoy entertaining guests in your home? If so, how do you prepare for a party? Do you spend all day cleaning? Do you have special decorations? Is there a playlist of favorite tunes you count on to help set the mood? Take pictures of your home before, during, and after the party for this scrapbook layout.
This is My Neighborhood
Take pictures of the people and places around your home that you enjoy. Did you hit it off with the couple next door? Do you love getting breakfast at the coffee shop down the street on your way to work in the morning?
