Scrapbooking craze

Have you heard about the creative world of scrapbooking? Do you know what it is? It is the art of combining pictures, poetry, story telling, 3 D artwork and various art media together and feature them in a decorative album. This “hobby” has gone on for many years and probably started from some very sentimental people! It is fun, and allows for your full creativity to come out.

Quite often, they are tied to a life experience, an obsession with a sport, an excitement for a club or fellowship, a wedding, a time in history, but mostly the themes involve family. Whether your interest is in genealogy, personal journals, keeping track of children growing up, or just making a “time capsule,” there is no end to the possibilities for a scrapbook.

Two of the most popular scrapbooks right now have to do with military and children. Since a lot of our loved ones are across the sea serving in the military, there are countless scrapbooks being made to preserve the memory, or posthumous memory of family members who served in the military. Likewise, it seems we are living in a “baby boom” age and scrapbooking is a natural extension of preserving the memories of children who seem to grow up all too fast!

Since there are no boundaries of what objects you can put into a scrapbook, skies the limit! No matter what kind of scrapbook you intend on starting, there is no better time than now to get started.
