WHAT IS SCRAPBOOKING?

Scrapbooking is the practice of combining photos, memorabilia and stories in a scrapbook style album.  Scrapbooking has been around as long as there have been photos, but the Scrapbooking that has evolved in the 1990's is something new and different.

Scrapbookers today can take advantage of the scientific knowledge available in the area of photo preservation to ensure that their precious photos are not just in a scrapbook, but that they are in a scrapbook that will help protect them from deterioration.  Because of this, future generations may be spared the yellowed, faded color photos of their childhood that many of us now own.

Today's techniques of preserving our photographs combine photo safe papers, inks and stickers, with creatively decorated layouts and journaling.
