In the past, scrapbooking consisted of buying a plain album and attaching photos or post cards with photo corners (which were usually, if not always, black) to plain ugly pages. That was about it! Any information included with the photos was generally, as I recall, written on the back of the photos. All one had to do was slip the pictures out of the photo corners to read the back sides.
Those days are, thankfully, far behind us. Scrapbooking has come a long way since then. There are scrapbook pages of so many colors, designs and themes that I imagine one could spend hours browsing them all. Crafts stores have aisle after aisle of neat embellishments of everything one can imagine along with tools to enhance your scrapbook pages.
All one has to do is browse through all the supplies available to get the creative juices flowing. Even a beginner should have no trouble finding ideas to get started.
Okay – so you want to start scrapbooking. Learning the ‘ABCs’ of Beginner scrapbooking requires some commitment in time and effort, along with doing research on properly starting this hobby. However, the ultimate results are truly satisfying.
Creative scrapbooking isn’t something one can do on the spur of the moment without some thought. First, focus on a particular theme or special event which you want to commemorate. Gather together your photos and supplies, do the research for ideas and then get scrapping!
