What is scrapbooking?
A scrapbook is defined as ga blank book in which miscellaneous items are collected and preservedh. The term gScrapbookh goes as far back as 1825, illustrating the long and rich history this hobby contains.
Many people have experienced some form of scrapbooking during their childhood. By simply cutting and pasting tickets, brochures, articles and postcards onto a blank book, many children have unknowingly involved themselves in the basic principles of scrapbooking. Modern scrapbooking focuses more on creativity and journalism, but preserving precious memories still forms the basis for this interesting hobby.
A key emphasis in modern scrapbooking is preserving the contents through the process of using gsafeh materials. Materials that do not adversely affect the quality of the scrapbook or cause deterioration are termed gsafeh, and are often used in modern scrapbook. A good example would be acid free paper, which is more resistant to yellowing and deteriorating.
The ability to write details and commentaries alongside photos serves not only to document information but to inspire creativity and bring back memories. This form of journalism is often the deciding factor between a pretty looking book with pictures and a scrapbook that will inform, entertain and educate for generations to come.
By adding decorative stickers, ribbons and creative artifacts to your scrapbook, you can truly personalise and document your scrapbook into something you can call uniquely yours, a tangible item that will not only be a great conversation piece, but a great inspiration.
