Scrapbooking is a creative hobby that allows people to save and organize photos and memorabilia. It is also a way for people to tell stories through their creations. Scrapbooks can include everything from handwritten family recipes to concert tickets and boarding passes. There is no one definition of what a scrapbook should look like, and it can be as involved or simple as the person making it. The hobby is a fun and social activity that can be done in quiet basements or at raucous crafting parties.
It is important for people who want to create a scrapbook to have the right supplies. Cardstock that is acid-free, lignin-free and buffered is the best for the job. This will ensure that the paper won’t significantly deteriorate over time. It is also important to use archival adhesive, as it will help preserve the items that are being saved in the scrapbook.
Once the materials are in place, the next step is to think about what the scrapbook will be about. People who are working on a theme will usually make a list of ideas to start with. This helps them keep the story flowing throughout the album.
The most popular scrapbook formats are 12 inch (30 cm) square and 8.5 inch (A4) pages. The latter is ideal for people who are worried about not being able to fill up a full page with photos and embellishments. Some people even create mini albums and accordion-style fold-out albums.
