What is scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking 101: Learn the Basics You
have taken the pictures. They turned out good -- focused, clear, centered,
no heads were chopped off. You showed them to your friends, family, and
colleagues. Now what? Are
you like most people who put them back in the envelope or into a box for
storage to be rarely looked at again? Or are you among the lesser percentage
who puts them into an album expecting them to remain as bright and vibrant as
the day you picked them up? In reality, the box is a safer place for
your beloved pictures than most photo albums sold today. Some of these
albums are PVC-free, but most of them are not acid-free, lignin-free,
nor buffered. The acid and lignin in photo albums causes pictures to
yellow, become brittle, and degrade overtime. If you are among the
growing majority of people who want to preserve your memories and have them to
look back on and to share in the future, then you've come to the right place
-- Today, scrapbooking is all about preserving
your photographs, writing about them and enhancing them. For some, it is a
way of connecting yesterday with today and the past with the future. For me,
it is the most rewarding hobby I have ever done. There are no wrong answers
as long as I strive to use archival quality products. If you do a
two-page layout per week, you will have over 100 layouts done in a year! That
adds up to a lot of events documented and preserved by you! Once you have mastered the Basics of
