If you want to start scrapbooking, but feel inhibited by the cost of all the supplies needed, why not consider starting with a scrapbooking kit? Kits come in a variety of color palettes and styles and include everything needed to get you going at a one-time reasonable price.
One of the kits that I purchased included a scrapbook album, a wide variety of two-sided scrapbook pages, card stock, several frames, tags, stick-on letters, borders (many with pre-printed sayings), a marker and a glue stick. The entire contents of the kit were color-coordinated. The only supplies I have to add to this kit are my photos. I don’t even need to get out my scissors unless I have to trim my photos.
You can be as extravagant as you want or as simple as you desire when creating your scrapbook pages. I read somewhere that scrapbooking has now surpassed golf in popularity as a hobby. It is no wonder then that scrapbooking supplies are so readily available in such a varying assortment. There are embellishments available in every niche you can possibly imagine.
Whether you decide to spend a lot or a little, there are a few basic items necessary. These should include your photos or pictures, an album or notebook, scissors, adhesive, and a pen for journaling. (Scrapbooking kits are also a good way to get started.) Eventually you may want to purchase stickers, rubber stamps and other adornments to further enhance your pages. In the meantime, you can make some very nice scrapbook pages with these few materials.
