Scrapbooking is a paper craft hobby in which people preserve photographs and memorabilia by mounting them on pages of a book or folder. The process is usually creative and fun, with many embellishments added to create a visually appealing page. Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve memories and share them with family and friends.
The most basic scrapbook materials include a blank album and a variety of papers. The album should be sturdy enough to hold the weight of the memorabilia and photographs. It should also be able to close easily, without requiring too much force. The most popular size of a scrapbook is 12 inch (30 cm) square, which allows for multiple photos and pieces of memorabilia on one page. Other sizes, including 8 1/2 x 11 inch (210 x 297 mm), are also used by scrapbookers.
A scrapbooker will often choose a theme for the album. This can be a specific event or occasion, or it can be more general, like a child’s first year. The choice of photos and embellishments will depend on the theme. For example, shell stickers are appropriate for beach vacations, while sports or romance themed stickers are a good choice for an athletic or romantic event.
A scrapbooker will also need a variety of tools to work with the paper and memorabilia. These can include basic tools, such as a paper trimmer, a cutter, a pair of scissors and a tape dispenser. For more elaborate designs, scrappers may use rubber stamps and embossing powders with a heating tool.
