It Is Scrapbooking Time by Tricia Oliver
For people who are the sentimental and nostalgic type, they love to keep and sometimes hoard in their closets old love letters, photographs, concert tickets and souvenirs. These things are often kept hidden usually in boxes or chests, where they gather dust and sometimes forgotten, only to be retrieved whenever they want to reminisce about days passed. But would not it be great if these old stuff can be organized and kept in an album or book for easy viewing and for sharing with other people?
For most homebuddies, scrapbooking is a hobby in which every individual – mostly women, and sometimes men – can engage in from the comfort of their homes. Scrapbooking involves putting together a compilation or an album of your old stuff, in a creative and organized manner. It allows for easy access and easy sharing for family and friends of your personal and old stuff that allows you to remember the significant past experiences of your lives.
Pages of a scrapbook is often designed in unique ways – one can find colored paper, cut paper in different shapes or forms, glitters, magazine clips and other collage materials which can be pasted on the page. Others can place a drawing or figure of their favorite characters or celebrities. On the other hand, some would post quotes, poems, messages and thought bubbles. Some pages are designed on a central theme of the scrapbook, such as “My Travels in the Caribbean.” Others are placed in chronological order, depending on the time period which happened in their lives. Still some are more random and distributed across the pages of the scrapbook album. Whatever the style or design, scrapbooks document the lives of an individual in a creative and meaningful way.
Because of the increasing popularity of scrapbooking, many specialized paper have been available in order to increase the life of the scrapbook albums and pages. For instance, archival paper is designed to protect the paper from being ravaged by chemicals or acids found in the plastic cover or album paper. Ready-made stickers, colored paper cut-outs and other cute materials such as ribbons, buttons and cardboard materials from which the avid scrapbooker can choose from, can be bought from the local bookstore. Cricut and other crafts are also available from a lot of DIY stores. In fact, a cricut machine is available for the entrepreneur scrapbooker who would like to start a business with his or her own creations.
