Scrapbooking Basics
What is Scrapbooking?
Scrapbooking is the practice of combining photos,
memorabilia and stories in a scrapbook style album.
Scrapbooking preserves your photos and memories for
future generations. Scrapbooking has been around as long
as there have been photos, but scrapbooking has now
evolved into a very popular craft. Scrapbooking is
popular because it is fun. But be warned, it is
addictive.
Scrapbookers are taking advantage of 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. Acid and lignin
free products help prevent deterioration. Using archival safe products will spare
future generations the yellowed, faded colour photos of
their childhood that many of us now own. Colour
photographs are NOT permanent, but by using the right
products you can lengthen the photo’s life span
significantly.
New scrapbooking techniques, ideas and products are
being developed all the time. So scrapbooks can be
simple to the very creative.
